Biography[]
As a teenager Randy became involved with a gang called the Bandana Gang which was lead by Tombstone, who was his father's friend in the past. He did this because he believed that his parents didn't care too much about him and the Bandana Gang made him feel like family.
Randy later met the Bandanna Gang's leader, Tombstone. Randy, along with the rest of the Bandana Gang and Tombstone, broke into the Spaulding Chemical Plant. However, Tombstone was actually planning to frame Randy for their crimes in order to get revenge on Robbie.
When Robbie came to the Spaulding Chemical Plant he confronted Tombstone. Tombstone told Robbie that Randy wasn't wearing gloves and that his fingerprints were all over the crime scene. Tombstone also told Robbie that he was recording Randy robbing Spaulding Chemical Plant and he would use it to implicate him in the robbery unless Robbie were to cancel an expose The Daily Bugle was planning to run on his employer, Alisha Silvermane, who was the daughter of crime lord Silvermane. however, Robbie told Tombstone that he was able to rush the story into print and that within a few hours everyone in New York City would know about Alisa's criminal activities. Tombstone was disappointed that he couldn't complete the job Alisa hired him to do but was satisfied knowing the Robertson family name would be ruined when everyone learned that Randy was a criminal.
Spider-Man then arrived at the Spaulding Chemical Plant, found Robbie, grabbed Randy and told him that the Bandana Gang was going to frame him. Randy didn't believe Spider-Man and said that the Bandana Gang treated him like family even more than his real family. Spider-Man then showed Randy that his father was at the Spaulding Chemical Plant risking his life by fighting Tombstone to save him.
After Tombstone was arrested and sent to prison, Robbie told Randy just how much he cared for him.
Later, when his father was framed for armed crime by Tombstone and Kingpin, Randy blamed Spider-Man for his involvement in the crime scene.
