Ultimate Scorpion

The Scorpion, as featured in the cover art for Ultimate Spider-Man #97 by Mark Bagley.

Scorpion made his debut in Ultimate Spider-Man #97, the first issue of the Ultimate Clone Saga, where he was revealed to be one of many clones of Peter Parker. It appears that his costume was bullet proof. Throughout the issue #97 he uses an acid that erupts from his tail as well as acid shooters on his upper hand, similar to Spider-Man's web shooters. His design is very close to the original Mac Gargan incarnation of the Scorpion, with the exception of sleekness to the design, and a dome like hunch which becomes the dangerous tail, giving the appearance of an actual scorpion's exo-skeleton. The tail was also fused to his spinal cord, which Invisible Woman of the Ultimate Fantastic Four referred to as an "illegal biograft". Image File history File links Scorpionult. ...

When Scorpion was awake enough to answer questions, Reed and Sue asked where he came from and how he came to be. His only response was asking where he was now. He asked if he was back in the "zoo".

He is presently held in the Baxter Building while the Fantastic Four conduct research into the cloning. For other uses, see Fantastic Four (disambiguation). ...

While Scorpion didn't recognize Peter in the Spider-Man costume, he does seem to have some of Peter's memories. When he is first seen in the mall, he repeats the phrase "Who are you, masked mystery man? Unveil yourself to the crowd!" which was said to Peter Parker earlier in the series. Also, Scorpion encounters Mary Jane Watson in the Baxter Building and says her name before passing out. These are the only indications that Scorpion was given Peter's memories. It was also shown at the end of Ultimate Spider-Man #105 that Nick Fury has him and Gwen Stacy in containment; Fury tells a S.H.I.E.L.D officer to "get to work".

Scorpion in 1990s Spider-Man animated series

Scorpion appears in Spider-Man: The Animated Series played by Martin Landau and Richard Moll. In his debut episode, Mac Gargan works for J. Jonah Jameson as an investigator, but is nervous, plump and balding. In an attempt to discover Spider-Man's real identity, Jameson hires a scientist to use Dr. Connors' Neogenic Recombinator to turn Gargan into a superhero called the Scorpion. This incarnation is similar to the original comics version of the Scorpion, with superhuman strength and agility resulting from his genetic enhancement, using the Neogenic Recombinator, with scorpion DNA -referred to by the scientist who carries out the experiment as "a natural predator of the spider"- and an externally-mounted cybernetic weapon-tail. He encounters Spider-Man on a roof top, and after a short battle is able to defeat the wall crawler. However, when he is about to unmask Spider-Man, his body is overcome with pain, and he begins to mutate further, developing yellow eyes, green skin, and talons on his fingers. At that point, madness at the horror of what he has become descend upon him. The Scorpion then attempts to gain access to a nuclear reactor, insanely believing it will restore him to normal ("Radiation made me this way, and I'm going to use it to turn me back!"). Spider-Man stops him, sending him to jail. Image File history File links Spidermanep2. ... Image File history File links Spidermanep2. ... Martin Landau (born June 20, 1931) is an Academy Award-winning American film and television actor. ... Richard Moll (born January 13, 1943) is an American actor. ...

In "The Insidious Six", Scorpion becomes a member of the Insidious Six, created by the Kingpin, to kill Spider-Man, so Kingpin can settle off his debt with his enemy, Silvermane, but Spider-Man survived in the end. In "The Final Nightmare", he makes a plan to find a cure for his mutation by kidnapping Dr. Stillwell, the scientist who is responsible for turning him into a freak. Unfortunately, Stillwell destroys the Neogenic Recombinator in order to prevent any other beings like the Scorpion from existing again. Later, he meets Adrian Toomes, a.k.a. the Vulture, who is as smart as Stillwell, and when Toomes' lab was blowing up, Scorpion saved him. In "Partners", where Moll replaced Landau, he makes another attempt to cure himself, but fails when Spider-Man stops him (this attempt was a plot created by Spider-Man because he needed Scorpion to give to Alistair Smythe to save the Black Cat). In "The Wedding", Scorpion makes a bank robbery and Spider-Man is defeated. Then, he takes the wedding rings, so that he and his girlfriend Sara can get married. And finally, the Scorpion appears in the Six Forgotten Warriors five-parter as his last appearance as a member of the Insidious Six.

Video games

• The Scorpion is the third boss of the Game Boy game The Amazing Spider-Man.

• He also appears in Spider-Man, voiced by Dee Bradley Baker. Here, he was making another attempt to get revenge on J. Jonah Jameson for turning him into the mutant freak he became. But Spider-Man arrives in time to save Jameson and defeats Scorpion in battle, thus foiling another one of the Scorpion's miserable plans. He was last seen in the game, playing cards with Rhino and Mysterio (whom have been placed in jail with Doctor Octopus for framing Spider-Man and almost releasing a symbiote invasion to the world). Scorpion was surprised and disappointed that all of them (Doc Ock, Mysterio and Rhino) were all working together and Spider-Man is still alive, while Mysterio tries to make it look like it was Doctor Octopus's fault.

He is depicted as a confused, misunderstanding, and paranoid person (Or, as Spider-Man says it, "Crazier than a soup sandwich") who probably was experimented on by a rival company of OSCORP, but that doesn't keep him from fighting Spider-Man when he wants "to be alone." After the battle, the Scorpion disappears. He was voiced by Mike McColl.
