Adrian Toomes (Earth-21997)

Adrian Toomes (later referred to as the "Vulture") is Uncle Ben's killer and a founding member of the Sinister Six. He ultimately dies from spinal cancer.

History
Adrian and his gang were at war with the Torino Crime Family (an off-shoot of the Maggia) composed of Joseph "Hammerhead" Torino and Lonnie "Tombstone" Lincoln. He had the police officer George Stacy in his pocket.

Escaping from a robbery they had committed, Adrian and his men came across Benjamin Parker in his car who was en route to pick his nephew up from a party. When Benjamin refused to give the car up, Adrian shot him; as Benjamin was crawling away for help, Adrian sadistically stalked and toyed with him before shooting him for a second and final time, killing the man.

Vulture suit
Adrian's signature suit was designed and developed by Otto Octavius. After Otto relinquished his company to the Ikeru Corporation, they received an early prototype of the harness, although it was stolen by Adrian Toomes while they were moving it between warehouses.
