Hi everybody. Apparently I haven't watched too many Spiderman cartoons. I've heard of the Vulture, but never this! Read on and you'll see. You have been warned. :D
This guy is supposed to be a version of the Vulture from the Noir Universe. I have no idea what this Noir Universe is, but I'll research it after I get done with this post.
Evil Vulture's real name is Adrian Toomes. He used to work at a carnival. His act was biting heads off real-live chickens. Poor chickens. When he wasn't out on stage he was locked away in a cage and treated like an animal. A wild one, at that. After a long time at the carnival spent like this, he grew to hate humans, especially the ones who kept him captive and the ones who paid two cents to see his act. Eventually, he joined a criminal empire led by the Green Goblin under the name "Vulture". How dare he steal someone's name?
I'm kinda tired, I woke up at five-thirty in the morning, so I'll sign off. Ta ta for now!
Hi everybody I'm here again. I have a request for you all. Can you please tell your friends about Spyderman? I know I post long, boring blog posts but I post based on how many pageviews my blog has gotten so if you could get Spyderman over another main blog that I have, I'll be posting on different blogs for awhile. Anyway, here's to an A-plus villain of Spiderman, The Scorpion!
Mac Gargan (of Earth-616), also known as Scorpion, was originally a private investigator initially hired by J. Jonah Jameson to find out how Peter Parker
is able to obtain his incredible pictures of Spider-Man. Gargan's
efforts set off Peter's Spider-Sense and he is able to easily evade the
detective. Jameson then decided to hire Gargan as the subject of a
barely tested process that would endow him with the useful
characteristics of a particular animal with the help of Dr. Farley
Stillwell. In this case, a scorpion was the base for the purposes of
creating a powerful agent capable of defeating Spider-Man. Scorpion
proved to be more than a match for the wall-crawler, defeating him
twice, but the mutagenic treatment seriously affected Gargan's mind,
driving him insane. He promptly turned on his benefactor, but Spider-Man
intervened, and managed to finally defeat Scorpion in their third
battle. Jameson was struck with the irony that he was saved by the man
he tried to destroy from the thing he created to destroy him. Scorpion
would return again to attack Jameson but was once again defeated by
Spider-Man. Since then, the Scorpion became a professional criminal and
has repeatedly attempted to indulge in his deadly vendetta against
Spider-Man and Jameson, only to be defeated each time. Scorpion, through
the course of his career, acquired a few items (a new costume, and
several new tails). He also fought Ms. Marvel after a botched revenge
attempt against Jameson. Scorpion became more psychotic than usual after
his battle with Ms. Marvel, resulting in his being dumped in acid. In
the sewers, his sanity deteriorating, Scorpion came to believe that his
costume couldn't come off. However, after a quick encounter, Spider-Man
proved to him that his belief of being a monster was in his mind. He
formed an extortion racket to sabotage the Daily Bugle, but was thwarted
by Spider-Man and Captain America. He was freed from prison by agents
of Wilson Fisk, who wanted him as a member of the third Masters of Evil. The team fought The New Avengers and were defeated.
Scorpio-Venom
Mac Gargan purchased the Venom Symbiotefrom Edward Brock
at a super villain auction, in an attempt to substantially increase his
powers. It was a success, with the Symbiote bonded over his Scorpion
suit, Gargan retained complete control over the suit for some time.
However, during a fight with Spider-Man, the Symbiote finally managed to
secrete enough acid onto Gargan's Scorpion suit to completely dissolve
it.
Sorry about the exciting ending since I won't be posting mainly about Scorpion anymore but you can check out this website link to find more. In the meantime, check out the photo up above. It shows Spiderman fighting Scorpion, or rather, Scorpion fighting Spiderman.spiderman.wikia.com/wiki/MacDonald_"Mac"_Gargan_(Earth-616)
I'm back with more posts. This is about the Green Goblin, one of Spiderman's greatest foes.
Norman Osborn (of Earth-616), also known by his alter-ego of Green Goblin, is a fictional character and a supervillain who appears in the Spider-Man comic books (among others) published by Marvel Comics.
The character was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, and first appeared in a Spiderman comic book called The Amazing Spiderman #14 (July 1964).
Norman Osborn was just a child when he first became obsessed with acquiring wealth and power after his father,
a failed business inventor who claimed that he was swindled out of his
inventions and personal fortune, took out his rage on Norman. Norman
realized that he could not depend on his father for financial security,
so he began working after school and saving every cent he earned. He
would not allow himself to become a failure like his father. Norman
studied chemistry and electrical engineering in college. He also took a
number of courses in business administration. One of his teachers was
Professor Mendel Stromm.
They became good friends and later formed a business partnership. Since
Norman put up the bulk of the financing, they called their company
Osborn Chemical, or Oscorp.
Norman married his college sweetheart Emily and they had a son: Harry.
Unfortunately, Emily became ill. After she died, Norman buried himself
in his work and rarely had time for young Harry. As the brilliant
co-owner of a chemical manufacturer known as Oscorp, Norman Osborn,
loving wealth and power, decided to take control and had his partner
Stromm arrested when he found he was committing embezzlement, granting
him complete control over the company and making Norman the official CEO
of Oscorp. While going through Stromm's notes, he found a secret
formula that would make him superhumanly powerful. However, his son,
Harry, who was tired of always being ignored and rejected by his father,
switched the chemicals in the serum, which turned it green and caused
it to explode in his face.
Later, at the hospital, Norman Osborn found himself thinking more
clearly than ever before, not knowing that he would slowly become
insane. Attempting to achieve power beyond his wildest dreams, Norman
Osborn planned to become the most powerful gang-lord of all by uniting
all the independent gangs under his leadership in an attempt to gain
control over all of New York's crime. To prove his power and establish
his reputation, he decided to choose Spider-Man as his victim of choice, and sent two criminals, the Headsman and Scorcher,
after Spider-Man. The two were soundly defeated, and Norman Osborn
decided to take matters into his own hands. Remembering a giant green
goblin monster from childhood nightmares, he created a costume that
reflected that monster, and he became the original Green Goblin.
He first battled Spider-Man with the help of the Enforcers,
by getting Spider-Man to participate in a movie about him. Attempting
to defeat him in New Mexico, he let Spider-Man battle the Hulk,
whose stomping grounds the Goblin, the Enforcers, and Spider-Man
accidentally stumbled upon. Escaping the Hulk, Spider-Man attempted to
capture the Green Goblin, but was too exhausted to prevent his escape.
Returning to New York, the Green Goblin easily hid amongst New York's
population.
Spider-Man and the Green Goblin fought a few months later at a fan club meeting for Spider-Man organized by Flash Thompson. However, when Spider-Man heard that his Aunt May
was extremely ill, he was forced to retreat, giving him a sour
reputation by most of New York's citizens, including several
superheroes, super-villains, citizens, and, of course, J. Jonah Jameson,
and giving the Green Goblin an impressive reputation. Later still, the
Green Goblin pretended to be helping the police by attempting to capture
Lucky Lobo, a big gang leader, and, after seeing defeat by Spider-Man, attempted a partnership with the Crime-Master,
which again ended in defeat.
With every one of these defeats, the Green Goblin became more
determined. In time, Osborn became totally obsessed with Spider-Man and
finally began directing all of his efforts to finding a way to conquer
his web-swinging adversary.
One of the biggest success in the Green Goblin's career was learning
Spider-Man's secret identity, by utilizing a false gang that sprayed
Spider-Man with a gas that nullified his spider-sense, allowing the
Goblin to follow him without being detected. Capturing Spider-Man with
ease, he brought him to his hideout and revealed himself to be Norman
Osborn, the father of Harry Osborn, one of Peter Parker's classmates.
After gloating and revealing his past, he let Spider-Man escape his
bindings, so as to prove his superiority. Spider-Man managed to defeat
the Goblin by sending him into a bunch of disconnected, high-voltage
wires that were drenched in chemicals. Gaining amnesia, Norman Osborn
lost all memory up to the years that his son was in high school.
Spider-Man, content in this knowledge, burned the Green Goblin's
costume, hoping never to see him again.
The Goblin's Last Standled to Europe. There he joined the Cabal of Scriers,
eventually moving up in their ranks and completely taking them over.
After the death of his son Harry, whom Norman believed would prove
himself in his absence, Osborn accelerated a series of plans he had
formulated over the past several years.
From the shadows, Osborn manipulated Empire State University Professor Miles Warren as part of a grand scheme to have Parker believe he was in fact a clone and that Ben Reilly (the real clone) was the real Peter Parker. However, with Peter's wife Mary Jane Watson
pregnant and the possibility of a life without Spider-Man on the
horizon, Peter freely relinquished his alter-ego to Reilly. Unsatisfied
with these results, Osborn returned as the Green Goblin revealing
himself as the mastermind behind the entire fiasco and killed Ben Reilly
who sacrificed himself to save Peter. Reilly's body disintegrated,
proving that Peter was in fact the real Spider-Man all along. In
addition, Osborn had an employee of his, Alison Mongrain,
poison Mary Jane into an induced premature labor, kidnapping the child.
Osborn's next grand scheme was to make Spider-Man his heir, first
drugging him into wearing the Goblin costume and attacking his friends.
After days of physical and mental torture at the Osborn Estate, Peter
nearly gave in, but refused at the last minute. Next, the Goblin used a
drunken Flash Thompson to drive a truck into Midtown High School, where
Peter had taken a job as a teacher. The accident caused Flash brain
damage, and spurred Peter into a final battle with his old enemy.
Although, it seemed that in some strange way Norman wanted Peter to
finish him off, Peter refused saying he did not want to fight him
anymore and declared a truce.
Sometime later, Norman Osborn was finally revealed to the public
as the Green Goblin and after an climatic battle with Spider-Man and Luke Cagethat raged across Manhattan, he was finally imprisoned. However, things were far from over.
From behind bars, Osborn once again masterminded a plan against Spider-Man. This time he had Mac Gargan,
also known as the Scorpion, kidnap Peter's Aunt May. The plan was for
Spider-Man to break Osborn out of prison in exchange for his Aunt's
life. Peter reluctantly agreed and with the help of the Black Cat
proceeded to break Osborn out, only to have twelve of his greatest
enemies waiting for him on the outside. Osborn had assembled a Sinister Twelve, which included Mac Gargan newly bonded with the Venom symbiote. However, Mary Jane had contacted S.H.I.E.L.D. and the villains were faced with the combined might of Captain America, Iron Man, Yellowjacket, Daredevil and the Fantastic Four.
During the fracas, the Goblin had escaped to kidnap Mary Jane and took
her to the George Washington Bridge in order to replay his murder of
Gwen Stacy, a final act of vengeance against Spider-Man. However, a
drugged Doctor Octopusintervened,
attacking the Goblin. Spider-Man was able to save Mary Jane after a
bolt of lightning sent the two villains into the river. Following some
verbal clues from the Goblin, Peter was also able to discover where he
had hidden Aunt May and rescued her as well. It was revealed that Osborn
sent Peter a letter before the fight, thanking Peter for giving his
life meaning and purpose, but Peter never received the letter due to
moving from his residence.
After the Goblin's take-down, Norman and Gwen's twins confronted
Spider-Man. They believed Parker to be their real father as well as
responsible for killing their mother and abandoning them. Spider-Man
told the twins the truth - Gabriel rejected Spider-Man, and accepted the
Goblin mantle as the Gray Goblin, becoming insane in the process. After
battling Spider-Man, a deranged Gabriel disappeared, while Sarah sought
training to use her powers for good.
The Goblin later watched in shock as Spider-Man publicly revealed his
identity as Peter Parker, railing that Peter "broke the rules!" Peter
also confirmed on TV that Osborn was the Goblin, and that he killed Gwen
Stacy. He was then approached by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who were seeking
his aid. When Osborn fled during his last jail break, S.H.I.E.L.D.
agents picked him up outside of Paris and returned him to his jail cell
under heightened security.
The Goblin confronted and attacked Ben Urich in an alley, but S.H.I.E.L.D.'s nano-machines caused him to stop, involuntarily making him collapse and foam at the mouth.

Makes a post, any size
Catches followers just like flies
I'll bet everybody knows that song. Yep, you got it! My new blog is about Spiderman. Almost everyone knows about our favorite web-slinging, wall-crawling superhero. (Well, he may not be your favorite but personally I'm a big fan.) Anyway, my first blog post will be about Cletus Kasady, more commonly known as the destructive villain from Spiderman, Carnage. Cletus Kasady had a very troubled childhood. He killed his grandmother
by pushing her down a flight of stairs and tortured his mother's dog.
His mother then tried to kill Cletus, and was apparently beaten to the
brink of death by Kasady's father, who received no defense from Kasady
during his trial. As an orphan, Kasady was sent to the St. Estes Home
for Boys, where his antisocial behavior made him the target of abuse
from both the other orphans and the staff. Kasady gained revenge by
murdering the disciplinarian administrator, pushing a girl who refused
to date him in front of a moving bus, and burning down the orphanage. It
was during his brutal years at St. Estes that Kasady acquired his
philosophy that life was essentially meaningless and futile, that "laws
are only words", and came to see the spreading of chaos through random,
unpatterned bloodshed as "the ultimate freedom. Kasady becomes a serial killer. He is captured and sent to Ryker's
Island prison for eleven murders (though he brags of a dozen more) where
he shares a cell with Eddie Brock, who had lost the Venom Symbiote.
Brock's symbiote soon returns and bonds with him again. However, he
unwittingly leaves behind the symbiote's offspring, as the symbiotes
reproduce asexually and the children are then of no consequence to the
parent. The new symbiote enters Kasady's bloodstream through a cut and
bonds with him, transforming him into Carnage. He escapes prison, and
begins a series of murders, and at the scene of each crime, writes
"Carnage" on the walls with his own blood. He was found by Spider-Man,
though the hero proved to be no match for Carnage's powers. In
desperation, Spider-Man made a truce with Venom to fight Carnage.
Working together, they were able to defeat Kasady. Carnage was later
killed in a battle with Sentry
in the Earth's upper atmosphere, after Sentry forcibly ripped the
Carnage Symbiote from Kasady's body (which caused Kasady's human form to
suffocate, due to lack of oxygen), and launched it into the sun, where
the intense heat destroyed it. Unfortunately for Peter, and the rest of
the New Avengers, Carnage had already managed to puncture several of
Sentry's vital organs. He passed out during atmospheric re-entry, and
died from his injuries, coupled with the severe burns caused by the
non-slowed re-entry. It was later revealed that Kasady had made a deal
with Wilson Fisk
to have a cloned body set up to be activated upon the event of his
death. The Carnage Symbiote was aware of this, and thus used the body of
Tanis Nieves
to transport the Symbiote to Kasady's cloned body. The Symbiote
uploaded his consciousness and memories into the cloned body upon
bonding with it, making Kasady into Carnage once more.
