Macdonald "Mac" Gargan was a former private investigator hired by J. Jonah Jameson to, at first, discover the connection between Peter Parker and Spider-Man, and later as a means to destroy Spider-Man. In this capacity, Gargan was used as a test subject for a process that would endow him with the useful characteristics of a scorpion. | ||||
Over the years, Gargan was one of the foes Spider-Man regularly fought from his rogues gallery. Although he would square off against other heroes, Gargan would always return to his fixation on Spider-man and Jameson. | ||||
Recently, Gargan has traded his Scorpion costume for the Venom symbiote and was asked to become the new Spider-Man in Norman Osborn’s Dark Avengers. |
