Fictional character biography

Menace's back-story, including his real name, remains largely unknown. Stealing a weapons cache of the original Green Goblin, Norman Osborn, this Menace was later being hunted down by Jackpot. During her search, she meets Spider-Man and reluctantly accepts his help. Menace then attacks a council meeting and kidnaps a council woman, and Spider-Man and Jackpot attack him. Menace's glider slams into the rescued councilwoman, killing her, and Menace escapes the crime scene but not before accusing Spider-Man of being responsible for the woman's death.

Menace later vandalizes campaign ads, and tries to find Bill Hollister, one of the candidates for the election. He says that he's been sabotaging his campaign for his own good against Randall Crowne, his opponent. Menace then proceeds to threaten the redeemed Norman Osborn, even recreating Osborn's original death by ramming him with his glider. However, Osborn survives the attack and Menace spares him, after accusing Osborn of being a fool for devoting all his time and assets to Spider-Man's destruction.

He also appears in the "Secret Invasion: Amazing Spider-Man" miniseries, killing one of the invading Skrulls, and then setting his sights on Jackpot, believing her to be "Spider-Man's girlfriend" ["Secret Invasion: Spider-Man" #2] .
