Changes: Adrian Toomes

Revision as of 09:50, 20 April 2018

"Eight years. Not a word from the feds, nothing from those Halloween costume wearing bozos up there in Stark Tower, And then all of a sudden, this little bastard in red tights shows up, and he thinks he can tear down everything I've built. Really? I'm gonna kill him."

―Vulture^[src]

Adrian Toomes is the former owner of a New York City salvage company called Toomes Salvage Company who swore revenge after Tony Stark drove him out of business by replacing them with Department of Damage Control. Equipping himself with an exo-suit built from Chitauri technology, Toomes took on the identity of Vulture only to come into conflict with both Iron Man and Spider-Man.
