History

Scorcher's criminal activities were secretly supported by Norman Osborn. He was stopped by Spider-Man (Peter Parker).

Scorcher escaped prison and started a protection racket, but was again defeated by Spider-Man.

He attempted to attack Christmas shoppers but was stopped by Ben Reilly.

Justine Hammer recruited Scorcher as part of the Masters of Evil. They were defeated by the Thunderbolts.

Scorcher accepted a contract to kill Daredevil. Accompanied by Diamondback (Debbie Bertrand), he was again stopped by Spider-Man.

Hudak was pressed to join Lucia von Bardas' attempted attack on the United States in exchange from upgrades to his suit.

While being interrogated by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, Hudak expressed disinterest in continuing to commit crime. He is currently attempting to reconcile with his ex-wife.

Just before the formation of the New Avengers, Hudak called the X-Men. He told them that Savage Land Mutates approached him, offering cash to get Sauron out of imprisonment in the Raft (a job that went to Electro.) Still trying to distance himself from crime, Hudak hoped that the X-Men could deal with the problem and attest to his compliance. This resulted in Wolverine investigating the Savage Land, where he met the New Avengers, a team he soon joined.
