History
When Hobie Brown sustained a spinal injury due to a battle in the Great Game, as the Prowler, he was immediately rushed to a hospital. It was there that an orderly by the name of Rick Lawson discovered that Hobie was carrying a piece of his costume. Finding out Hobie’s address, Lawson broke into his apartment and stole his costume. Lawson then used the costume to commit a series of robberies, most notably breaking into a patient's home and stealing their belongings. Hobie learned that his costume had been stolen and being used to commit robberies and contacted Spider-Man to capture the culprit. During one of Lawson’s robberies he encountered the Vulture, who had mistaken him for the real Prowler. Vulture wanted revenge on the Prowler for foiling his takeover of Bestman Electronics and attacked Lawson. Despite Lawson’s protests that he wasn’t the real Prowler, the Vulture wouldn’t believe him. Luckily Spider-Man found the two villains and intervened in the battle. However the two villains managed to escape from Spider-Man.
