History

The Hood's origins.

Parker Robbins was a high school dropout who became a low life thug. At a bar one night, his cousin pointed out Electro, a villain who most commonly battled Spider-Man. The life of a villain enticed Parker. Parker eventually stole equipment originating from the demon Dormammu. He took its red cloak and hood and found that they gave him powers. Parker decided to use his new abilities to become a super villain called the Hood.

His first big idea as a criminal was to steal diamonds that were being taken into the U.S. When the crime boss lost his diamonds, he hired villains Constrictor, Jack O'Lantern, and the Shocker. Hood managed to defeat the super villains, but a police officer was murdered in the process. He was wanted for his involvement in the killing. Parker managed to con the cops into shooting the "killer", but the officer's partner realized that the Hood was still out there, and the alien/demon awoke.

Spider-Man, Venom , Gravity, Hood, Medusa, Henry Pym, the Wasp, Kraven, and Firebird were pulled into Battleworld and forced to discover why they were there.[2]

Robbins assembled a organization of super criminals to take control of crime while all the superheroes were at each others throats because of the Civil War. Robbins gained the trust of multiple super-villains by taking out Tigra for Jigsaw. He earned more respect by taking out the only opposition, the Owl. Using the newly acquired Deathlok to rob a bank in New Jersey he made over $15 million at the cost of destroying Deathlok. As Robbins celebrated with his crew they where ambushed and defeated by the New Avengers and illusions of an army of heroes created by Doctor Strange.

During Daredevil's run-in with Mr. Fear, Turk snitched to show his allegiance to Robbins.

Revenge was taken on the New Avengers at Dr. Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum, after freeing some super humans from the Raft. The battle was in his favor until Strange cast a defensive spell paralyzing all in the area. Robbins later spoke to the still unidentified Dormammu, exclaiming, "Now I know how to beat 'em."

Secret Invasion

Skrulls tried to infiltrate the Hood's organization. Skrulls disguised as S.H.I.E.L.D. agents tried to replace Madame Masque, but the Hood rescued her. During the interrogation of the surviving Skrull, the Hood to used his power to scan the surrounding villains. It was discovered the Slug was a Skrull in disguise. The Hood shot and killed him. Later that night, the Hood finally discovered his power came from Dormammu.[3]

During the Skrull invasion Robbins rallied his crew to join the fight, because if the Skrulls had taken over the world it would have been be bad for business. The Hood's group joined with a loose collection of super-powered heroes in the middle of Central Park with the assistance of Electro, Lightmaster, Masked Marauder and Scorcher. As one, they attacked a Skrull force.[4]When the battle was over, the villains all returned to hiding.[5]

Dark Reign

The Hood later met with Namor, Doctor Doom, Emma Frost, Loki, and Norman Osborn. Osborn offered the cabal solidarity and the resources to accomplish their own agendas in the new world order. In return Osborn asked for their public support/registration, as well as cooperation fulfilling any request he may have of them.[6]

To prevent the New Avengers from establishing an ambush on the Dark Avengers, Norman Osborn ordered the Hood to have his crime syndicate keep the New Avengers away from the Dark Avengers. Ms. Marvel channeled Spider-Woman's powers to stun the villains allowing the New Avengers to escape.[7]

After the Punisher tried to assassinate Osborn (failing due to the intervention of Sentry), Osborn asked the Hood to hunt him down.[8] Robbins used the powers of Dormammu to resurrect the villains that were killed by Scourge of the Underworld (Basilisk I, Bird-Man II, Black Abbot, Blue Streak I, Cheetah, Cyclone I, Death Adder, Hijacker, Human Fly, Letha, Megatak, Mind-Wave, Miracle Man, Mirage, Titania I, and Wraith I) to form a squad that would help him take down the Punisher.[9]

Dormammu empowered the Hood with enough magics to find and kill Doctor Strange, so that Parker could become the new Sorcerer Supreme. The Hood approached Strange, while he was talking to Wiccan of the Young Avengers. As they fought, Strange told the Hood that Dormammu's promises were empty, as were all other demons but Parker ignored him and attacked them both. After Wiccan intervened, Strange and Billy got away and Parker went home. While there, he had a breakdown and tried to rip off his cloak but found he couldn't. Madame Masque appeared wanting to know what was going on. Madame Masque promised to help him and removed her mask and they kissed. Unknown to them, Dormammu watched from a mirror. Later on, Parker attacked Daimon Hellstrom, the Son of Satan and potential candidate for Strange's successor. Hood was later confronted by the Avengers and the new Sorcerer Supreme, Brother Voodoo.[10]

The Hood is fully possessed.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

Parker himself is just an average young adult who carries two pistols for offensive weapons. The cloak makes him invisible, originally activated only while he held his breath, but he no longer has to do that to make it work. His boots allow him to literally walk on air, not fly, as one might assume. The Hood has at one time displayed the power to shoot electricity out of his hands as he spoke very much like the demon he took his clothes from. Parker is clearly not in full control of this power and is not aware how they work as it appears they are accessed subconsciously. In Beyond!, The Hood has reptilian/slanted red-glowing eyes. Perhaps his cloak is transforming his facial features. Parker has shown the ability to see through illusions such as Dr. Strange's and even detect Skrulls.
