Adrian Toomes (of Earth-90214) is an alternate version of The Vulture that originates from the Noir universe.
History[]
Adrian Toomes was a former carnival freak whose performance consisted of biting the heads off live chickens. When not performing he was caged like an animal and treated worse then one. As a result he grew to despise both his captors and the people who paid their two cents to laugh at his misery, leading to a whole new appreciation for humans... according to him they taste better than chicken.
Recruited into Norman Osborn's criminal empire he would go on to become his top hitman and boss under the name Vulture. Vulture's modus operandi is to jump down and surprise his victims then proceed to eat them alive. This method is precisely how he killed Spider-Man's Uncle Ben right before the young boy's eyes leading to Spider-Man's never ending hatred of Goblin who ordered the hit... and the Monster that did the dirty work.
For a while Vulture was thought dead by Spider-Man (regrettably at his own hands) however Vulture has mysteriously resurfaced and has gained a great fear of Spider-Man matched only by his nemesis' hatred of him therefore a second encounter is inevitable.
