History

Frederick Foswell (Earth-80219) from What If? Vol 1 19 001

Big Man

Frederick Foswell was a reporter for the Daily Bugle who was also secretly a racketeer named the Big Man. After J. Jonah Jameson sent him to ask Spider-Man how his actions could injure children, Foswell was laughed out of the premier of Spider-Man's movie. Foswell returned to the Bugle and told Jameson what had happened, furthering Jameson's hatred of Spider-Man. After a bit of bad press from the Bugle, Spider-Man followed Jameson's secretary Betty Brant, who was meeting with the Big Man's thugs, the Enforcers to pay of her brother's gambling debt. Witnessing the Big Man's identity of Foswell, Spider-Man wrote an article for the Daily Globe where he revealed Foswell's connection to Jameson and eventually cost Jameson his job when he resigned rather than take emeritus status at his own paper. Foswell later asked Jameson to see him in prison where he made him an offer to Jameson to run his rackets while Foswell was in prison. Jameson at first refused, but after seeing a billboard for Daredevil, he immediately reconsidered. Jameson used Foswell's connections and resources to attack Spider-Man with an army of supervillains.
