“	Look who it is... What are the odds you and I'd end up at the same summer camp? Relax, this is not on you. It's on our little spider friend. I got some boys on the outside who'd love to meet him. You know, take a picture, slice his throat, put his head in a dryer. And I heard a rumor... That you know who he is...	„
	~ Gargan approaching Adrian Toomes in prison.

MacDonald "Mac" Gargan is a supporting antagonist in the 2017 Marvel Cinematic Universe film Spider-Man: Homecoming and its comic mini-series retelling Spider-Man: Far From Home Prelude.

He is a professional criminal who has dealings with Bestman Salvage, the Vulture's own criminal enterprise. He becomes yet another enemy of Spider-Man after he foils his dealings, but decides to personally get back at the web-slinger at any cost.

He was portrayed by Michael Mando, who also played Vaas Montenegro in Far Cry 3 and Nacho Varga in Better Call Saul.

History[]

Mac Gargan is a New Yorker criminal and leader of his own criminal gang. Mac is ready to buy futuristic weaponry from Adrian Toomes and a deal between them is scheduled. When Spider-Man interrogated Aaron Davis about the event, Aaron admitted that he used to work with Mac Gargan but left him due to Gargan's deranged behavior.

Along with some of his men, Mac boards the Staten Island Ferry where the deal is supposed to take place. While one of Adrian's associates, Herman Schultz, deals with MacDonald, they are suddenly confronted by Tom Holland. Both Mac's men and Schultz attack Holland but are defeated. During the fight, Gargan is kicked off the ferry but shot by Spider-Man's webs mid-air. Holland yanks him back towards the ferry, which leaves Mac clinging to the edge of the ferry until Adrian suits up and attacks Holland in his Vulture-exosuit. Vulture crashes into the railing, causing it to break and hurl Gargan into the ocean. Despite the Staten Island Ferry almost being sunk during the battle, MacDonald is arrested by the FBI afterwards and sent to jail.

After Adrian himself has been captured, he is sent to prison and meets Mac in the yard. Despite being surprised to see that he and Adrian are being held in the same prison, Mac assured to Adrian that there are no hard feelings between the two as Mac blames Spider-Man for ruining their rendezvous and causing their incarceration in the first place. Mac claims that he has contacts outside of prison who are ready to kill Spider-Man and mentions that he heard a rumor that Adrian knows the identity of Spider-Man, but Toomes lies and claims that if he knew, Spider-Man would be dead already.
