Origins:

Miles Warren was a biochemistry professor at Empire State University in New York City who taught the undergraduate student Peter Parker, who was secretly the costumed crime fighter Spider-Man, and Parker's then-girlfriend, Gwen Stacey. Warren felt affection for Stacey, which, as time passed, became an obsession that Warren believed to be paternal in nature. When Stacey died as a result of Spider-Man's conflict with the original Green Goblin, Warren was grief-stricken. Warren believed the news media, which said that Spider-Man was responsible for Stacey's death, even though the charges were later retracted.

Before Stacey's death, Warren had collected cell samples from members of his class. Warren surreptitiously used cell samples from Stacey and Parker to create clones of both. When Warren's assistant tried to persuade him against such practices, Warren killed her. Unable to accept his actions, Warren's sanity slipped, creating a separate personality called the Jackal. The Jackal yearned for vengeance against Spider-Man.
