Adrian Toomes, also known as Vulture, is an elderly aerodynamics engineer who developed a special armor which could restore his youth.

Biography

Adrian Toomes was the owner of Toomes Aerodynamics. Obsessed with flying from a young age, the elderly Toomes began using his company to research anti-gravity fields. Feeling that he was wasting time, Norman Osborn attempted to strong arm Toomes Aerodynamics stockholders into letting him buy it, and merge it with Oscorp.

Toomes finally mastered anti gravity, and created a set of wings that enabled him to fly. Using the technology from the tablet of time, he also created a device that allowed him to suck the youth out of people.

After using the youth sucking device on Spider-Man, he unintentionally absorbed his disease, and began mutating into a version of Man Spider. After Curt Connors tricked the Vulture into permanently holding this disease, Vulture went into hiding. Later Toomes seemingly cured himself of mutation though he kept changing from his young self to his old self with no control over the transformation. He eventually used his original technology and swapped life ages with an infant Silvermane, and retained his youth.

Later he used his newfound youth and power to join the Insidious Six and attempted to aid Kingpin in finding the Doomsday weapon.

Background

Vulture was voiced by Eddie Albert as an old man and Alan Johnson as a young man.
