Ringmaster (Marvel)



Maynard Tiboldt, also known as the Ringmaster, inherited his criminal business from his father. This business was was, in fact, being a ringmaster for a circus; and not just any circus. The Circus of Crime. The Ringmaster would hypnotize his audiences into handing over all of their money by using his tall hat. When someone looked into the swirl on the hat, they would be mesmerized, and the Ringmaster could control them.

Ringmaster has gone up against a few heroes, most notably the Hulk, Spider-man, and Daredevil, and has been defeated by them all. At one time he hypnotized Spider-man into attacking Daredevil, but lost his control over Spidey when his hat was knocked off.
