Introduced in 1987 Spider-Man web #36, written by Gerry Conway and artist Alex Saviuk, Tombstone had a difficult childhood that led him to a life of crime at a young age. By the time Tombstone made his comic book debut, he was already running his own gang with a deft hand and an iron fist. Like other major players in New York’s criminal underworld, Tombstone has had periods of recession during which the likes of Hammerhead and other Maggia crime lords have usurped his place, though recent years have seen him gradually return to the top.

More recently, Tombstone’s endeavors have brought him into direct conflict with a plethora of other key underworld characters, ranging from Hammerhead and Silvermane to the fearsome Madame Masque. These feuds have culminated in Marvel’s Gang war The storyline called upon nearly every hero and villain New York City had to offer for one of the greatest brawls of all time. During the event, Hammerhead was nearly assassinated by Madame Masque, who positioned herself to take over the entire city before ultimately being defeated by the combined efforts of various heroes and villains.


While Tombstone was one of the biggest winners by the time the dust was kicked up by Marvel Gang war After settling the issue, her daughter was one of the biggest losers. Not only was Janice’s relationship with Randy almost irreparably damaged, but she and her father proved to each other that their personal bonds didn’t outweigh their professional grievances. So Tombstone set his sights on Janice’s burgeoning criminal empire – and there doesn’t seem to be much hope that they’ll reconcile before things get deadly.

Spider-Man

Since his first appearance in 1962, Spider-Man has almost always been the most popular character in Marvel Comics. Known for his sense of humor and bad luck as well as his selflessness and superhuman strength, Spider-Man has led countless titles over the years. Some of Spider-Man’s most notable comics include The Amazing Spider-Man, Web of Spider-Man, and Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man.

Peter Parker was the original Spider-Man, but the Spider-Verse has become a major part of the character’s history in recent years. The multiverse and future Spider-Men include Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, Miguel O’Hara, and Peter Porker, the spectacular Spider-Ham. This served as the basis for the popular Spider-Verse film trilogy, which features Miles as its main hero.

Spider-Man is also the spawn of several live-action film franchises and numerous animated television series. He is one of the most recognizable characters in the world. Although he has changed a lot over the decades, Steve Ditko and Stan Lee gave the world an unforgettable hero when they created Spider-Man.
