Fiddler contacted Flintridge and told him that unless he was pain $100,000 he would kill him. Fiddler planned on using the money to build a conservatory to return classical music to its former glory.
When Flinyridge went to drop off the money, Spider-Man showed up and tried to catch the Fiddler. Fiddler was able to use the shock waves from his violin to defeat Spider-Man. However, during Spider-Man and Fiddler's fight, Flintridge escaped with the money.
Fiddler later contacted Flintridge and told him that he was upping the price to $500,000. If Flintridge refuses, Fiddler was going to use his sonic fiddler to reduce the rock 'n' roll conservatory, which was owned by Flintridge, to rubble. Spider-Man fought the Fiddler at the conservatory and captured him.
