History

Adrian Toomes was the owner of Toomes Aerodynamics. Obsessed with flying from a young age, the elderly Toomes began using his company to research anti-gravity fields. Feeling that he was wasting time, Norman Osborn attempted to strong arm Toomes Aerodynamics stockholders into letting him buy it, and merge it with Oscorp.

Toomes finally mastered anti gravity, and created a set of wings that enabled him to fly. Using the technology from the tablet of time, he also created a device (built into his Vulture Talons) that allowed him to suck the youth out of people.

After using the youth sucking device on Spider-Man, he absorbed his disease, and began mutating into a Man-Spider. At the lab, Curt Connors tricked the Vulture into permanently holding this disease, which caused him to lose control of his youth (continually switching from his young self to his old self and back again) while ensuring Spider-Man himself would never again become the Man-Spider. Then, Vulture kept changing from his young to old self.[1] Toomes eventually used his original technology and swapped life ages with an infant Silvermane (who had been de-aged after an accident involving the Tablet of Time), restoring Toomes' youth and again reducing Silvermane to an old man. and retained his youth.[2]

Vulture became a member of the Insidious Six, replacing Mysterio, who was originally a member but was presumed dead.[3]
