    I always liked the Scorpion and The Shocker they always was my favorite underrated Supervilliens.

    An adaptation of this scorpion story would be great for MCU Spider Man 4, this J Jonah seems more evil than Raimi's
    Scorpion is already shown as a Merc who hates Spider-Man so J Jonah hiring him for the job would be perfect

    In the 1960”s Spider-Man cartoon show the human fly was actually two twin brothers playing the role that were trained acrobatics and did high scale
    Burglaries, beating
    Spidey up with their acrobatic moves and also because he didn’t realize it was two of them instead of
    only one villain playing the role of the fly.

    When you think about, the main reason the two Stillwells died was because of Jameson. JJ basically got away with murder. If wasn't for JJ, the two Stillwells wouldn't have gotten involved with the creation of the supervillains and tragically killed afterwards. JJ was the most evil out of all.

      You're right, He's greedy, overly opinionated, self-obsessed, and, TOTALLY unable and unwilling to admit not only that he COULD be wrong, but, when he IS wrong! I remember in Spider-man's early days, J. Jonah Jameson hired an Private Investigator to shadow Peter Parker, to see where.and how he was getting his exclusive photos of Spider-man. When that panned out, he hired that SAME person, who had the same lack of scruples he had, to undergo a procedure to give him super-powers, similar to Spider-man's! If not for J. Jonah Jameson's involvement, The Scorpion might NEVER have been created!, and, a gifted researcher might still be alive! Not able to learn from just ONE life lesson, he also financed the FIRST Spider-Slayer robot, and, had it sent out, without testing, into the streets. When his son gained super-powers on a Space mission, guess what, he did it again, endangering his own son's life!

    The scientist who turn Mac Gargan into Scorpion did the right call to use scorpion dna to defeat Spider-man. Cuz scorpion is eats spider. On the otherhand his brother use a house fly dna in hoping to defeat Spider-man. There are other animals of insects that prey on spiders like centipedes, other spiders, wasps and frogs.

  • @Artisan1979
    @Artisan1979 3 года назад +12

    Seriously, I think that Stillwells brother deliberately imprinted the genetic code of a housefly so that this clown could easily be defeated by Spiderman so even if he did lose his life, he ultimately won in the end. I highly doubt that a scientist with such expertise would create an opponent for a man with the proportion of powers of a spider by imbuing him with the attributes of the spiders prey.

    Can we just get a comic where JJJ actually gets testified in the court for not only yellow journalism in various degrees, but also because of the villains he created such as the scorpion, Human fly, and the spider slayers? Heck he could be in trouble for involuntary man-slaughter since his commissioned creations resulted in the death of all of their creators? at least for the 1967 cartoon he should be thrown into jail!?

      I think they heard you because in Jamison's origin story, it's mentioned that he confided in Norman Osborn, his close friend, about how the scorpion came into being, which Stormin' Norman wrote down in his journal, later utilized by the hobgoblin to blackmail him.

    Okay. I am a big fan of Spidey and respect all of his enemies but did scorpions have tails with no stingers in 1964? Even if its a robotic tail, wouldn't you put a stinger on it? At best it looks like a giant segmented green finger. At worst... Been bothering me since I first saw it at age 5 in 1979... lol for real.

    I know I’m probably gonna get a lot of flack for saying this, but I don’t consider JJ a villain, just an annoyance, basically an idiotic bigot Who can’t keep his mouth shut, plus I think it’s ironic that he’s trying to make heroes to get rid of a hero, only for it to backfire. The spider slayers, scorpion, and the human fly. And that’s without without mentioning man wolf, but sometimes there are stories where he has been a hero, amazing Spider-Man annual number 18 is a prime example of that.
