History

He was a N.A.T.O engineer who created the Cyclone a weapon of war, and was told that N.A.T.O didn't need the weaponary because it was purchased solely from America.Not long after N.A.T.O fired him and from his device he created a costume and became a criminal.He first appeared on the villain scene when he kidnapped beloved Daily Bugle publisher J.Jonah Jameson in Paris, France and held him for ransom. Joe 'Robbie' Robertson and Peter Parker travelled to France to rescue Jameson. When Robertson was kidnapped as well, Spider-Man decided to rescue them both and defeated the Cyclone with a giant Fan.

He was later employed by the Maggia but was defeated again by Spider-Man.
