227 Marvel Spider-Man Homecoming : Vulture (Exclusive)

Adrian Toomes is the former owner of Bestman Salvage who lost his livelihood after Damage Control, a joint venture between the federal government and Stark Industries, took over salvaging operations in New York City. Recruiting his co-workers and equipping himself with a flying exo-suit that Tinkerer created using Chitauri technology, Toomes took on the identity of the Vulture and became a black market arms dealer. However, after four years, his illegal activities were noticed by Spider-Man, thus forcing him to fight the young hero. After sending Shocker to deal with Spider-Man, Vulture hijacked Tony Stark's cargo plane, although he was once again thwarted by Spider-Man. During their final clash, Spider-Man defeated Vulture before saving his life and leaving him for the authorities to apprehend. Toomes was then incarcerated in prison, and in gratitude to Spider-Man for saving him, refused to give up the hero's true identity.
