The old man
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.
Vulture attacks a prey.
After using the youth sucking device on Spider-Man, he absorbed his disease, and began mutating into a Man Spider. After Curt Connors tricked the Vulture into permanently holding this disease, Later Toomes permanently cured himself of mutation but, as a result, he kept changing from his young self to his old self, and had no control over the transformation. He eventually used his original technology and swapped life ages with an infant Silvermaine, and retained his youth.
