Farley Stillwell is a scientist in the field of neogenics.
Biography[]
At some point he created the Neogenic Recombinator along with Dr. Curt Connors. Empire State University kept the Recombinator.
He was hired by J. Jonah Jameson to turn private investigator Mac Gargan into Scorpion, who would then defeat Spider-Man. He chose the scorpion as it was a natural predator to the spider. However, Gargan went crazy after finding out that he could not take the suit off. Scorpion tried to kill Stillwell and Jameson but both were saved by Spider-Man.
Afterwards, he was admitted into an institution for fear that Scorpion was coming after him. Scorpion eventually abducted him and brought him to a laboratory where Spider-Man, Connors, and Vulture were. Stillwell planned to destroy the Recombinator so that it could not be used to create any more monsters. He overloaded the Recombinator and it exploded. The explosion turned Lizard back into Connors and allowed them to escape. He explained that neogenics was too dangerous and vowed to keep the secrets with him forever. He disappeared and was never seen nor mentioned again.
Background[]
Stillwell was voiced by Michael Rye.
In the Comics[]
His only appearance was also the first comic appearance of the Scorpion,
After transforming Mac Gargan into the Scorpion, Stillwell ran some tests and realized that the transformation had not been a complete success and that Gargan would be losing his sanity as his strength increased. He made an antidote and tried to give it to Scorpion during his battle with Spider-Man. Scorpion refused the antidote as it would take his powers away and attempted to elude Stillwell by climbing a building. Stillwell climbed after him, but lost his grip. As he fell he attempted to throw the vial containing the antidote at Scorpion, but he missed and fell to his death.
He had a brother named Harlien who used the same experiment as his brother to create another villain called the Human Fly. However like his brother, he too died shortly after the experiment, after the Human Fly murdered him.
