Biography[]
Early life[]
Born in Staten Island, New York City, the Vulture was one of the first supervillains Spider-Man had to face. He engineered his own flight suit and began committing crime across New York.
On Peter's first day of class at Empire State University, Toomes tried to eliminate his old research partner, ESU professor Greg Bestman, leading to Peter fighting Vulture in a tough battle. During the fight, Toomes was seemingly weakened, and right as Peter thought he might win, Toomes caught Peter by surprise; Peter would later admit he felt like he was fighting two Vultures from that point. Motivated by Mary Jane Watson and Harry Osborn cheering him on, Spider-Man managed to defeat Vulture.
It took Spider-Man years and many failed attempts to finally catch Vulture and he was then locked away in the Raft. It was later discovered that Vulture had developed spinal cancer due to the power produced from his winger rig.
Marvel's Spider-Man[]
Vulture was later approached by Otto Octavius, who devised a plan to save Vulture's life and free him from the Raft prison, in exchange for helping fix a personal vendetta against the mayor of New York Norman Osborn. Vulture agreed to the task.
The Vulture assisted Electro briefly against Spider-Man during the prison breakout at the Raft, helping to lure him into a deadly confrontation with the Sinister Six. Together, the villains brutally beats Spider-Man and Otto briefed them on their objectives.
Later, when Spider-Man escapes an explosive trap set by Doctor Octopus, Vulture captures Spider-Man and drags him to Electro as a back-up plan. The two supervillains proceeded to battle the web slinger. Despite their best efforts, Spider-Man took them both down after a lengthy battle, and Vulture was subsequently arrested. It's never specified if he got cured from his spinal cancer.
Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales[]
While Vulture himself does not appear in person, Peter recreates his battle with the Vulture there using holograms for his final test for Miles. He creates a pink Vulture double to represent his youthful inexperience, and even voices the Vultures in a comical, hammy impression of Toomes to vent out his issues of their various fights.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2[]
At some point, Vulture somehow escaped from the Raft and was on the loose in the city. However, he was eventually discovered and killed by Kraven The Hunter, who took Vultures wings as a trophy, but also honorably admitted that he put up a very good fight, and one of his worthiest opponents yet.
Trivia[]
- Dwight Schultz had previously voiced the Vulture in the video game adaptation of the 2002 Spider-Man film.
- Despite that the Vulture is mentioned in Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales to still be active, it's currently unknown if this means that he has been cured of his spinal cancer or not.
- According to Peter in Miles Morales, Vulture is apparently a fan of William Shakespeare's classics, but he misquotes Hamlet during his fights with Spider-Man and refuses to admit it.
