Meet the Nice Scorpion. Not!

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 Symbiote from 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)

  1. Don't worry, Mom. This isn't what your son is watching. This is a wild picture, I've seen many of these pics before, and this is not-I repeat, this is NOT the same as a cartoon.

    1. I am so relieved you are not watching anything as wild as this! Thanks for reassuring your mom!

      But I think you should post on any blog you feel like, not just those that get the most views. :)
