Conception and Creation
In the 2004 Starlog special Spider-Man and Other Amazing Comics Heroes (Inside Comics Heroes #3), Hammerhead's creator, Gerry Conway, noted that he wanted to introduce a Dick Tracy-style foe into the series. Based on this reference to Dick Tracy, many have noted Hammerhead's obvious visual similarity to Flattop Jones, in turn possibly based on Pretty Boy Floyd.

Famous quotes containing the words conception and/or creation:
“If the Nazis have really been guilty of the unspeakable crimes circumstantially imputed to them, then—let us make no mistake—pacifism is faced with a situation with which it cannot cope. The conventional pacifist conception of a reasonable or generous peace is irrelevant to this reality.”
—John Middleton Murry (1889–1957)
“As the truest society approaches always nearer to solitude, so the most excellent speech finally falls into Silence. Silence is audible to all men, at all times, and in all places. She is when we hear inwardly, sound when we hear outwardly. Creation has not displaced her, but is her visible framework and foil. All sounds are her servants, and purveyors, proclaiming not only that their mistress is, but is a rare mistress, and earnestly to be sought after.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
