  • When this unnamed criminal broke into the house of May and Ben Parker, he was frightened by Ben and shot him. The bullet killed Ben, whiched caused his nephew Peter to capture the burglar as Spider-Man, starting his superhero career. He later returned in an alliance with Mysterio, which included faking the death of Aunt May. The burglar believed an old-time mobster's haul was hidden inside the Parker home, and wanted to force this information out of May and Peter. When Spider-Man appeared to thwart them, Mysterio bailed on the burglar. When an enraged Spider-Man unmasked, the burglar blindly panicked, believing Parker would never let him live. As Spider-Man (who had no intention of crossing that line) chased him down, the burglar died of a heart attack. Later, in Marvel Comics Presents # 50, Peter, in the company of Wolverine, encountered a bizarre group of criminals, all of whom seemed somehow connected to his past. Peter caught one of them, a doctor of his acquaintance who claimed that Spider-Man had killed his brother, and who was dressed just like the burglar. During the final days of Ben Reilly's tenure as Spider-Man (when this clone believed that he was the real Peter Parker), Ben met and fell in love with a girl named Jessica Carradine (despite the later movies, this has never been confirmed as his surname) who turned out to be the burglar's daughter. When she learned who her boyfriend was, she threatened to expose him, but came to realize it was her estranged father who had been the villain, and wished him well as she left. Various retcons and reboots within Marvel's mainstream books have shifted around fine details, but in the "616" universe (The Main Universe), his story remains pretty much the same, even to his final death. Like the radioactive spider itself, the Burglar is a vital element of Spider-Man's origin.
