History

Wes Cassady was a foreman who worked for the On-Line company. As they moved animals on which experiments had been carried out, a cage containing a radioactive hare fell and broke, but Wes grabbed the hare before it fled, and the animal bit him.[2] The man had a fever for three days, but when the illness passed he discovered he had acquired superpowers, however he decided not to use them.[2] Two years later Peter Parker was visiting the On-Line to evaluate whether to accept a job offer, and there was a fire that Wes extinguished thanks to his powers.[2] Determined to find out more about him, Spider-Man went to Wes' house and he told him his story, telling him that he wanted to be a normal person.[2] The next day one of the scientists of the On-Line Royce Nero, used an armor that had been created, to steal the company's plans, and Spider-Man engaged in a clash with him[2]. During the fight the hero found himself in difficulty, and asked for Wes' help; although the man thought that helping Spidey was the right thing to do, he failed because he was afraid that everyone would consider him a monster and that he would lose his family.[2]Spider-Man still managed to defeat Nero, and Wes implored his forgiveness; the spider told him that he understood him and that perhaps he too would have behaved in this way, if he had a family to look after, but warned Wes that he would have to live with the choice not to use his gifts.[2]
