Harpoon received an entry in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Update '89 #3.
Harpoon was one of the Marauders who attacked the X-Man Angel during the Morlock Massacre. This is during the Marauders' murder of hundreds of Morlocks. Harpoon personally kills many, including the young mutant Cybelle.
Harpoon pins Angel to the wall, but before he and his Marauder cohorts can slay him, Thor intervenes and drives them off. Harpoon hurls a harpoon at Rogue while she is vulnerable after having her powers neutralized by the Marauder Scrambler. Kitty phases Rogue hoping Harpoon's weapon will pass harmlessly through her, but the spear is in an energy state and strikes them anyway, trapping Kitty Pryde in a ghost-like state.
