Biography

Mugs Reilly (Spider-Man (1967))

Mugs Riley was a bank robber that somehow discovered a group of subterranean creatures known as the Mole Men. Mugs Riley disguised himself as a mole man and became their king. Riley, now going by Mole Man, had the Mole Men build a giant drilling machine that he used to drill a hole beneath the foundation of banks which caused them to fall into the underground land of the Mole Men. Spider-Man captured Mole Man and removed his mask revealing to the Mole Men that he was a human named Mugs Riley that was wanted for bank robbery. The Mole Men apologized for staling buildings from the surface and returned them to their rightful place. Spider-Man then handed Mugs Riley over to the authorities.

Mugs Riley later escaped prison and once again became king of the Mole Men. Like before Riley used a drilling machine to steal the banks of New York City. Riley intended to get revenge on Spider-Man. Spider-Man captured Riley. However, Riley was able to break free from Spider-Man's webbing and tried to shoot him. However, Riley accidentally shot some equipment and the explosion caused a cave-in. Riley was trapped under ground and Spider-Man returned to the surface.

Background
