Biography[]

Richard Damien meets Peter Parker and his friend Harry Osborn who were watching out for their their Mary Jane Watson who was auditioning for a role in a movie he financed. He then returned to his mansion where he meets with Shikata and apologizes for his delay.

He pays her a large sum of money to kidnap Spider-Man to add to his collection of rare animals. Initially, he is impressed by Shikata's superhuman abilities after his bodyguard Raymond suggests she probably is all for show. He apparently wants to add a superhuman to his collection of rare animals. He becomes infuriated once Shikata comes back to her after gaining respect for Spider-Man that the deal is off and gives him back his money.

Not having this, he has his right-hand-man Raymond and some ex-FBI agents turned thugs-for-hire to ambush and kidnap Shikata, but Spider-Man arrives and turns the tables. After his angered henchwoman comes back to kill Damien for his disloyalty, he puts up a fight only to be beheaded and discovered by MJ.

Personality[]

Damien was a cold, brash, arrogant and selfish businessman who was not afraid to get his hands dirty to get what he wanted. He enjoyed collecting and imprisoning endangered animals for his amusement. When he was confronted about his unreasonably selfish reasons he lashed out and ordered a hit on someone who was more than capable of ending his life without effort.
