Fictional character biography

Scorpion

Mac Gargan was a private investigator initially hired by J. Jonah Jameson to find out how Peter Parker is able to obtain incredible pictures of Spider-Man. Gargan's efforts set off Peter's spider-sense and the teen was 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 Professor Farley Stillwell. In this case, a scorpion was the base for the purposes of creating a powerful agent capable of defeating Spider-Man. Scorpion is the name that two separate fiction characters have used in stories published by Marvel Comics. ... Stephen Ditko (born 2 November 1927) is a renowned American comic book artist and writer best known as the co-creator of Spider-Man and Doctor Strange. ... A private investigator, private detective, PI, or private eye, is a person who undertakes investigations, usually for a private citizen or some other entity not involved with a government or police organization. ... John Jonah Jameson (also known as J. Jonah Jameson, J.J., Jolly Jonah Jameson, or J.J.J.) is a fictional supporting character featured in various Marvel Comics, most prominently the Spider-Man title. ... Spider-Man swinging around his hometown, New York City. ... Scorpion is the name that two separate fiction characters have used in stories published by Marvel Comics. ...

This mutagenic treatment seriously affected Gargan's mind, driving him insane. He promptly turned on his benefactor and when Spider-Man intervened, Jameson found himself in the strange position of praying that his investment was insufficient in defeating the superhero he hated. Since then, the Scorpion has repeatedly attempted to indulge in his deadly vendetta against Spider-Man and Jameson, only to be defeated each time. Jonah does appreciate the irony and eventually decided to publically confess creating the supervillain when the original Hobgoblin tried to use that secret to blackmail him.

The Scorpion, through the course of his career, acquired a few items: a new costume, and several new tails: one that spurted acid, another that spurted tear gas, and one that can deliver electric blasts from the stinger. He also fought Ms. Marvel. In one instance, Scorpion became more psychotic than usual after his battle with Ms. Marvel, resulting in his being dumped in acid. In the sewers, Scorpion came to believe that his costume couldn't come off, but after a quick encounter, Spider-Man proved to him that his belief of being a monster was in his mind. For other uses, see acid (disambiguation). ... For the Marvel Comics character with the same codename, see Sharon Ventura. ...

At one point, the Scorpion's constant defeats at the hands of Spider-Man drove him to depression. He wandered the sewers, his mind becoming clearer than it had been since his transformation. Gargan's returning sanity was cut short when he encountered a depressed and crisis-ridden Spider-Man. Ignoring Gargan's plea that he had changed, the wall-crawler beat him to a pulp. As a result, Gargan's insanity flooded back and he reverted back into his psychotic state; his chance at redemption was destroyed by his hated enemy.

Scorpion temporarily worked for Roxxon and helped them in their phony "Rehabilitation Therapy". Roxxon updated the Scorpion's powers and costume and promised he would get back at his enemies. Spider-Man managed to convince Scorpion that he was only being used as Jameson had once before. Scorpion then turned on Roxxon and was then defeated by the webslinger.

Venom

Later on through circumstances yet to be revealed, Norman Osborn reveals Spider-Man's true identity to Gargan and gives him orders to kidnap Peter's Aunt May should Osborn ever be captured and imprisoned. When Spider-Man defeats Osborn, he is imprisoned and Gargan carries out Osborn's orders in kidnapping Aunt May. Gargan eventually summons Peter and tells him the only way he can see his aunt again is to break Norman out of jail. Shortly thereafter, the Venom symbiote approaches Gargan,^[1] offering him new abilities, and Gargan becomes bonded with the creature. This would later give him an extra edge as part of Norman Osborn's Sinister Twelve.^[2] Even with these additional powers he is still swiftly defeated by Spider-Man, as the Avengers deal with the rest of the Twelve.^[3] So far he remains bonded with the symbiote. Though incarcerated,^[4] Gargan is unfazed, as with his new powers came the respect of becoming an "A-list" villain. Terrence Terry Dodson is an American comic book artist and penciller. ...

Alongside Spider-Man and other villains and heroes, Venom is kidnapped by other-dimensional forces. He succeeds in killing Spider-Man, though the same forces that have kidnapped him bring the hero back to life.^[5] For his crimes, the Inhumans matriarch Medusa orders his execution and almost carries it out herself. Later, he tries to kill the other participants for the "Beyonder's" wish fulfillment prize for the winner^[6] but fails and is returned to Earth alongside the rest of the group.^[7] The Inhumans are a fictional race of superhumans in the Marvel Comics Universe, created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. ...

Thunderbolts

Gargan later becomes a member of a sub-group of the Thunderbolts,^[8] which has been drafted by the Avengers to hunt down the members of the fugitive Secret Avengers and is currently run by the Commission for Superhuman Activities.^[9] It is then revealed that he has been outfitted with electrical implants by the government to keep the symbiote in check.^[10] As a Thunderbolt, he is seen as a hero by the general public and has his own action figures. Gargan displays his new raw power as Venom in a battle with Jack Flag, after pummeling Flag for a bit, the hero manages to stab Gargan, who is protected by his Symbiote. Gargan becomes enraged and ferociously man-handles Flag, and is about to feast upon his flesh, when his electrical implants kick in and temporarily subdue him, allowing Flag to live. Gargan expresses fear of the control the symbiote possesses over him, yet he has become addicted to the raw unearthly power it brings to him, and cannot begin to imagine life without it, similarly to a drug addict.^[11] And so, an attack from Steel Spider and Sepulchre makes him lose control again, briefly becoming a huge monster once more, while Moonstone is incapacitated and thus cannot co-ordinate control of his electrical implants.^[12] Afterwards, however, he returns to a normal form with no ill effects. He also becomes a cannibal, as he bit off and devoured Steel Spider's arm during a fight.^[13] For other uses, see Thunderbolt (comics). ...

Gargan is later ordered by Norman Osborn to hunt down Namor. After shooting him with a Thunderbolts-supplied weapon, Gargan disables Namor by ripping off his feet-wings. However, the Sub-Mariner manages to render Gargan unconscious and then rips out the symbiote's tongue.^[14] Namor the Sub-Mariner is a fictional comic-book character in the Marvel Comics Universe, and one of the first superheroes, debuting in Spring 1939. ...

Gargan begins to hallucinate the Symbiote speaking to him, telling him to "feed (it)". He later attacks and devours a guard and declares that "the only way out of Thunderbolts Mountain is when I decide to let you die".^[15]. It is later revealed that the psychic criminal Bluestreak is controlling Gargan's actions.^[16] He goes up against the Swordsman, who stabs Gargan through the chest, using his powers to force the symbiote away from his sword. Gargan is wounded, but thanks to the symbiote, is still alive. Blue Streak is the name of two Marvel Comics supervillain. ... Andreas von Strucker is a fictional character in the Marvel Comics Universe, created by Chris Claremont and John Romita Jr. ...

Gargan is set to return to the Amazing Spider-Man title. He no longer possesses Spider-Man's secret identity.^[17]

Personality

Before he donned the identity of the Scorpion, Mac was a skilled, if somewhat greedy and unscrupulous private investigator, who admitted that he'd go through anything "just so long as the pay is good!"^[18]

As he is emotionally disturbed as a result of the procedure in which he acquired his powers, Mac retains little of his former rationality. He is typically easily outsmarted by Spider-Man and is not very good at cooperating with other supervillains or following instructions. His most prominent weakness is his explosive temper and irrational hatred toward J. Jonah Jameson, to the point where he has been known to ignore the orders of whomever he is currently working for, in order to attack the Daily Bugle's publisher.

The years of being outsmarted and beaten, despite his physical superiority over Spider-Man, complement the similar hatred possessed by the symbiote, and has allowed it to almost completely control Gargan. Very little of his personality is retained while in the Venom persona, thus Gargan is now observed making statements about eating brains and referring to himself as "we" rather than "I". Gargan has even engaged in cannibalism as Venom, severing and devouring the arm of the still-living Steel Spider.^[19] When the symbiote is dormant in his body he has expressed nausea and fear of the organism.^[20] Unlike Eddie Brock, any inhibitions Gargan had about harming innocent bystanders has been eliminated with his bonding to the symbiote (though he had little regard for others to begin with). Gargan's previous identity hasn't been completely degraded. Sometimes the symbiote would sprout a scorpion tail. When he learned there was a new hero calling herself the Scorpion, The Gargan-Venom attacked her to protect his trademark while it still lasted. Cannibal redirects here. ...

Powers and abilities

As Scorpion

Mac Gargan, as the Scorpion, has superhuman strength, agility, reflexes, stamina, and durability, and also has the ability to cling to walls. He also has an expectionally strong grip, reminiscent of a real scorpion's pincers. In addition to his superhuman physique, he was traditionally armed with a cybernetic, seven-foot mechanical tail, which can whip at incredibly high speeds. The tail has in the past been equipped with projectile weapons, usually an electrical generator, although it has also been equipped with an acidic spray and a plasma energy projector. The Scorpion is substantially stronger and more durable than Spider-Man, though a much less skilled hand-to-hand combatant.

As Venom

With the Venom symbiote, Gargan retains his superhuman abilities, some of which have increased substantially beyond the original levels. The costume can even emulate the tail of Gargan's scorpion costume, though it now shoots webbing rather than electrical voltage. It can also be used as a fifth limb. As Venom, Gargan has gained the ability to shoot webbing and climb walls like Spider-Man, and can disguise himself as other people or blend in with his background. He is undetectable by Spider-Man's "spider-sense". His skill as a hand-to-hand combatant has increased due to the influence of the alien symbiote, which has superior instincts and fighting experience. The costume can also heal grave injuries suffered by the host with incredible speed.

When injured or enraged, Venom now has the ability to increase its mass and physical strength in order to meet whatever threat it is facing with equal force, an ability inconsistently hinted in the past, such as when Venom battled the Juggernaut. During these times it is not clear that Gargan has any control over the symbiote, for had it not been for the technology restraining Venom, he would have eaten Jack Flag. Also, during a battle with the Steel Spider, Gargan attacks innocent bystanders.^[21]. Venom is a fictional character that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. ... The Juggernaut (Cain Marko) is a fictional comic book character from the Marvel Comics universe. ... Jack Flag is a fictional character in the Marvel Comics universe. ... The Steel Spider (Oliver Ollie Osnick) is a fictional character who appears in the comic books published by Marvel Comics, primarily in the various Spider-Man titles. ...

Though his power potential has greatly increased thanks to the symbiote, Gargan has still failed to evoke any respect from Spider-Man, the web slinger's opinion being that "A loser dressed like Venom is still a freakin' loser."^[22]
