TheProwler is an alias used by several fictional characters appearing inAmerican comic books published byMarvel Comics. These characters are primarily depicted as wearing a green and purple battle suit with a cape and clawed gauntlets.

The original version,Hobie Brown,[a] was created byStan Lee,John Buscema andJim Mooney,[1] based on a drawing by 13-year-oldJohn Romita Jr., who also named the character.[2] The character was introduced inThe Amazing Spider-Man #78 (November 1969) as an adversary to thesuperheroSpider-Man.[1] AnAfrican-American teenage prodigy, Hobie created the Prowler technology to operate as a petty thief, but following his encounter with Spider-Man, he was convinced to turn his life around. Since his redemption, Hobie has served as a valuable ally to Spider-Man, as well as a superhero in his own right, leading the 1994limited seriesProwler.

Additionally, several other characters have used the Prowler alias and technology in themainstreamMarvel universe, including an unnamed self-titled "Second Prowler" (created by Lee andSteve Ditko) and medical internRick Lawson (created byTodd DeZago andMike Wieringo). Aclone of Hobie Brown (created byDan Slott and R.B. Silva) serves as the lead character of a secondProwler limited series, whichties in with the 2016–2017 storyline "Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy".

TheUltimate Marvel equivalent,Aaron Davis, was created byBrian Michael Bendis andSara Pichelli, and was introduced inUltimate Comics: Spider-Man #1 (November 2011) as the career criminal uncle of this reality'sSpider-Man. Davis was incorporated into the primary Marvel continuity followingSecret Wars as a separate version operating independently from the others.

Both Hobie Brown and Aaron Davis have appeared in several media adaptations outside of comics, including films, animated series, and video games. Davis in particular is portrayed byDonald Glover in the live-actionMarvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) filmSpider-Man: Homecoming (2017) and voiced byMahershala Ali in the animated filmSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018). Additionally, both actors make cameo appearances in the animated filmSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023), in whichJharrel Jerome also voicesMiles G. Morales, an original incarnation of the Prowler who will return inSpider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse (2027).

Publication history

The original and most well-known iteration of Prowler, Hobie Brown, debuted inThe Amazing Spider-Man #78 (November 1969), and was created by writerStan Lee and artistsJohn Buscema andJim Mooney.[3][4] The character eventually appeared in his own solo comic,The Prowler.[5] The character was inspired by Romita's 13-year-old sonJohn Romita Jr. who sketched a villain called the Prowler. Lee liked the name but not the costume; Romita combined the name with a design that he had previously intended for a character called the Stalker that was intended for the never-publishedThe Spectacular Spider-Man #3.[2]

Since Hobie, several other characters have taken up the Prowler identity as well. The second version first appeared inPeter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man #47 (October 1980), and was created by Stan Lee and artistSteve Ditko. The third version, Rick Lawson, first appeared inThe Sensational Spider-Man #16 (May 1997) and was created by writerTodd DeZago and artistMike Wieringo.

TheUltimate Marvel iteration of Prowler, Aaron Davis, first appeared inUltimate Comics: Spider-Man #1 (November 2011) and was created by writerBrian Michael Bendis and artistSara Pichelli. The fourth Prowler, a clone of Hobie Brown, first appearing inThe Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 4 #17 (August 2016) and created byDan Slott and R.B. Silva, serves as the protagonist of the "Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy"tie-inlimited seriesProwler, published from October 2016 to May 2017.

Fictional character biography

[edit]

Hobie Brown

[edit]

Hobie Brown is the original iteration of Prowler. Born in theBronx, New York, he was a bright but angryAfrican-American teenager who got fired from his window washer job. Intending to use his engineering skills for personal profit, he devised a plan to steal items while disguised as a supervillain and then return said items as Hobie. Donning his green and purple Prowler costume for the first time, Hobie set out to rob the payroll office of theDaily Bugle, figuring that would garner him quick publicity. However, he was caught in the act byPeter Parker. While struggling with Parker, he drew editorJ. Jonah Jameson's attention. Parker, with no way to defeat Prowler without giving away his own secret identity, contrived to get thrown through a window during the struggle, and used spider-powers to save himself once outside. Traumatized by the events, the shaken Hobie made his escape to the building's roof, only to be confronted by Spider-Man. Spider-Man vanquished and unmasked Hobie, but realized he was just a misunderstood kid (just like Peter once was), so instead of handing him over to the police, he advised him to rethink his life.[6]

Hobie took Spider-Man's advice to heart and gave up his criminal ways. He later impersonated Spider-Man at the hero's request – Spider-Man wearing a webbing mask – to convince Peter's friends that Parker was not Spider-Man after Peter 'confessed' the truth while suffering delirium due to the flu, thus creating the impression that Parker had merely been confused.[7] Hobie was convinced that Spider-Man was involved somehow in Police CaptainGeorge Stacy's death, and unsuccessfully tried to bring Spider-Man to justice.[8] Hobie eventually married his love Mindy S. McPherson, and settled down into a career as a construction worker.[8][9]

Hobie began to look after his 'little brother' Manuel "Manny" Lopez as a part of the Big Brother Program. When Manny was murdered, Prowler believed theWhite Tiger (Hector Ayala) was responsible and attempted to bring White Tiger to justice.[10] Prowler attempted to join the super-hero group theDefenders, only to be tossed into the harbor byValkyrie, at which point he decided to retire his identity.[11] However, his Prowler equipment is later stolen by a cat burglar to commit crimes for fashion criminalBella Donna. Hobie was eager to join the search for the thieves, but Spider-Man insisted that he stay home so he would not get into trouble, since the second Prowler had committed afelony murder. When the second Prowler was subsequently defeated by Spider-Man, the stolen equipment was returned to Hobie.[12]

Prowler later appeared in California during Peter'sWebs book deal.[13] He is first seen attacking theBlack Fox (Raul Chalmers) for possession of a chalice to keep Mindy out of prison. Mindy accepted a bookkeeping job at Transcorp New York. The company was caught in some shady stock deals and Mindy was set up and blamed for the crimes. Seeing it as the only way to clear Mindy's name, Hobie re-donned his Prowler costume and found the books which Mindy had been blamed for stealing. He hid the books on an information chip and put the information chip on the chalice, where no one would look for it. Prowler and Spider-Man then teamed up to take on the Black Fox to regain possession of the chalice. Hobie vindicated his wife of stock fraud charges with the help of Spider-Man and the Black Fox.[14]

Prowler later attempted to vindicate Spider-Man of a crime and first encounteredSilver Sable andthe Outlaws (including rehabilitated villains likeSandman,Rocket Racer andPuma).[15] His safety designs were stolen byJustin Hammer. Hobie proved the design flaws during an encounter with Hammer's hirelings.[16] Hobie foughtBlack Tiger (a.k.a. his brother Abraham Brown of theSons of the Tiger) as an initiation test for Silver Sable.[17] Prowler joined with Spider-Man and the Outlaws against theAvengers and theSpace Phantom.[18] Prowler was hired along with the Outlaws to retrieve aSymkarian nuclear device in England.[19] Prowler then formally joined the Outlaws to rescue the kidnapped daughter of a Canadian official.[20]

His costume and equipment were stolen by Nightcreeper and Prowler then battled him and theVulture (Adrian Toomes). This story also revealed that his brother is Abraham.[21]

Later, Hobie was paralyzed during the Great Game.[22] In follow-up appearances,[23] he began regaining movement of his paralyzed limbs- evidence suggests that his paralysis was more a result of mental rather than physical damage, as he was feeling frustrated over the recent theft of his costume, eventually regaining full mobility.[24] While recovering, Hobie provided Spidey with a jetpack used when assuming theHornet identity during theIdentity Crisis storyline.[25]

Prowler was captured byS.H.I.E.L.D. inMs. Marvel'sCivil War tie-in.[26] Escaping incarceration, he attended thewake forStilt-Man (Wilbur Day), along with many other villains and former villains. Prowler narrowly escaped injury as Spider-Man andPuma escorted him from the wake shortly before it was bombed by the Punisher.[27]

When Peter Parker elevatedParker Industries into a global franchise with Spider-Man officially acting as a "bodyguard" as part of theAll-New, All-Different Marvel branding, Hobie Brown is hired to act as Spider-Man in situations where the public would expect to see Peter and Spider-Man in the same place. Following the fight againstZodiac's Pisces Sect, Peter tells Hobie to change into his Prowler costume and that they'll retrieve the Webware together before Zodiac undoes his encryption.[28]

BeforeThe Clone Conspiracy storyline and crossover, wanting to know more about New U Technologies, Peter sent Prowler to infiltrate. He ended up encounteringElectro (Francine Frye). Prowler was chased around by Electro and was accidentally killed.[29] In the aftermath, Doctor Rita Clarkson took Spider-Man to where some people that were subjected to the New U Technologies treatment were being held. The Prowler was among those people, as it turned out that he was not killed by Electro.[30] Julia Carpenter later talks to the real Prowler, who just emerged from cryo-sleep, and tells him about his clone's actions.[31] Hobie is then seen talking to Peter about his future, wondering which direction he will take. He then heads home, where he is last seen conflicted about his own identity.[32]

Hobie next attacks the F.E.A.S.T. Center, which was re-established byMay Parker. He tells Spider-Man that he was investigating a crowdfunding group called Fairgray Pay after he funneled some money to help a sick friend, which never reached him, and broke into the center since it is almost wholly funded by the group. He and Spider-Man break into the company's head office with help from Marnie, Peter's neighbor known also as The Rumor.[33] After an intense battle, Spider-Man, Prowler and the Rumor escape, with help fromCaptain America. Prowler is left in his home after being knocked out from the fight. He later wakes up to find that Spider-Man managed to defeat the head of Fairgray Pay with help fromIron Man who bought the company and turned into a division of Stark Unlimited. During their conversation, Prowler is offered a job as the new head of Fairgray Pay, which he quickly accepts.[34]

During the "King in Black" storyline, Hobie is shown to have taken up the alias ofHornet during theSymbiote invasion.[35]

During the "Gang War" storyline, Hobie as Hornet had heard aboutAaron Davis' exploits as Prowler. He has him operate as Prowler again by giving him one of his Prowler costumes to find out whatHobgoblin has planned for Brooklyn. Hobie warns Aaron that if he slips up, he will repossess the Prowler identity.[36]

"Second Prowler"

[edit]

At one point,Bella Donna (Narda Ravanna) stole Hobie Brown's costume and equipment and hired a cat burglar that Spider-Man fought a long time ago to become the new Prowler. During one of his crimes, Prowler accidentally kills a guard. Furthermore, the witnesses see his silhouetted profile and believe Spider-Man to be implicated in the murder. Eventually, Spider-Man captures both Bella Donna and the Prowler, clears both his and the original Prowler's name, and returns Hobie's stolen equipment.[12][37] This Prowler is later seen at the "Bar With No Name" attending Stilt-Man's wake, and calls himself the "Second Prowler". He has a brief fight with the original Prowler at Stilt-Man's funeral. Sometime after the original Prowler leaves, thePunisher poisons the guests' drinks and blows the place up.[38] It is later mentioned that "they all had to get theirstomachs pumped and be treated forthird-degree burns".[39]

Rick Lawson

[edit]

Rick Lawson is the third incarnation of Prowler. A medical intern, he was present when Hobie Brown was brought into the hospital where he worked due to a back injury. The costume was partly cut away to conceal Hobie's superhero identity, but his friends were unwilling to risk moving him due to the back injury, leading to Lawson finding a portion of the costume that was left unattended and deducing Hobie's identity. After finding Hobie's address from his medical files, Lawson steals a replica of the Prowler costume, using new tech to both rob patients in the ICU and get revenge on those who had "wronged" him in the past, such as aconstruction foreman who fired him when needing the job to complete medical school. He has an encounter with theVulture, who seeks revenge against the original Prowler and nearly kills him, but Spider-Man interferes and defeats Vulture. Afterwards, Lawson is taken to the hospital and the Prowler costume is returned to Hobie (who is still recovering from paralysis).[40]

Aaron Davis

[edit]

The Ultimate Marvel incarnation of Prowler isAaron Davis, the uncle ofMiles Morales and the brother ofJefferson Davis.

Whereas Jefferson reformed by marryingRio Morales, Aaron never came around and became the cat burglar "Prowler." In his first appearance, he broke intoOscorp's abandoned lab to steal a small red box and other rare items from a safe but Oscorp'sgenetically altered spider crawled into his duffel bag without his knowledge. Miles later visits his uncle's apartment and is bitten by Oscorp's spider. After Miles passes out and regains consciousness, Jefferson forbids Aaron to spend time with Miles on account of his criminal life.[41] During a visit to Mexico City, Aaron fights off the Mexican crime bossScorpion. When his deal with Scorpion goes bad, he is detained by Mexican authorities. Returning to New York, Prowler interrogates theTinkerer who he kills while realizing his nephew is Spider-Man. He then claims various tech for himself: an electric suit, a winged suit and electric gauntlets. Davis uses his winged suit in a vain attempt to kill Scorpion. The next day, Aaron confronts his nephew about being Spider-Man.[42] Davis initially convinces Spider-Man to assist in defeating Scorpion, however, Spider-Man comes to the realization of his uncle's exploitation.[43] When Miles decides to sever their relationship, Aaron threatens to tell Jefferson and Rio of his nephew's secret identity. Spider-Man ultimately gets into a fight with Aaron that results in Aaron's gauntlets exploding, killing him but not before accusing his nephew of being just like him.[44] Spider-Man later discovers that Aaron was hired to break into Oscorp byDonald Roxxon,[45] and was revealed to beTurk Barrett's criminal acquaintance when he and Jefferson used to commit various crimes in their youth.[46]

Sometime after the "Secret Wars" storyline, Aaron is seen on Earth-616 alive and well. Equipped with a recolored variant of "Iron Spider" armor, he forms his version ofSinister Six (consisting ofBombshell,Electro, theHobgoblin,Sandman, and theSpot)[47] and manages to have a reunion with Spider-Man trying to stop him.[48][49] Despite Spider-Man's attempts, the Sinister Six carry out Aaron's heist and take off aboard a decommissionedS.H.I.E.L.D.Helicarrier.[50] When theChampions interrupt a meeting withLucia von Bardas as a buyer, Spider-Man attempts to persuade his uncle to give up his criminal ways.[51] Although the chaos results in his apparent death, Aaron is later revealed to be alive, seemingly having followed his nephew's advice.[52] Miles later goes to visit his reformed uncle.[53]

After Miles is kidnapped by the villain Assessor, Aaron obtains a new Prowler suit and tracks them down. With the help of Jefferson, who is using S.H.I.E.L.D. weaponry, Aaron rescues Miles, although Assessor escapes.[54]

After escaping from Ultimatum, Miles' burner clones, and Ultimatum's henchmen, Spider-Man and Prowler run into theGreen Goblin and the Goblinoids.[55] As Spider-Man and Prowler fight the Goblinoids, the Goblin states that a pulse will go off where anyone who took the Goblinoid drug will turn into the next wave of Goblinoids. As Jefferson shows up to aid Captain America in fighting the Goblinoids, Bombshell andStarling catch up to Spider-Man and Prowler just as the Goblin catches up to them at Prospect Park.[56] Ultimatum, his henchmen, and the Goblinoids attack Spider-Man, Captain America, Jefferson, Prowler, Bombshell, and Starling. The Goblin recovers and attacks Prowler as Ultimatum plans to send Spider-Man back to Earth-1610. Prowler sacrifices himself to give off a reverse ionic pulse explosion by overloading his suit. This ends up sending Ultimatum and the Goblin back to Earth-1610 causing the Goblinoids to regress back to their human form while the remaining henchmen of Ultimatum flee the area.[57]

After Miles and his cloneShift free Quantum from Assessor's control, they learn that Aaron is alive somewhere in a different universe and discover Assessor's connection to theBeyond Corporation.[58] As it turns out, Aaron is trapped in a dystopian alternate future where he is captured by an alternate version of Miles' clone Selim who killed his reality's Miles. After Miles and Shift from the prime universe acquires aid from the resistance force, led by alternate grown up versions of Billie Morales, Ganke, Aaron, and the alternate elderly Peter Parker are freed from Selim's imprisonment.[59] Following the alternate Ganke's sacrifice on preventing alternate Selim's suicide attempt on destroying New York along with them, Aaron, Miles and Shift stays at the reality to help Billie's resistance on rebuilding the city and restoring its freedom. After the three finally made it home to Earth-616, Aaron helps Shift to be adopted by a mother who is a herbalist, then treats both Miles and Shift bruschetta breads at a dinner, following Miles' successful scholarship achievements.[60]

During the "Gang War" storyline, Aaron Davis is approached by Hobie Brown, who had heard about his exploits as Prowler. Upon giving Aaron a copy of one of his Prowler costumes, Hobie asks him to find out what Hobgoblin is planning for Brooklyn. If he slips up, Hobie will repossess the Prowler identity from Aaron.[36] Amidst the gang wars, Hobgoblin hires Aaron Davis to deal with his "spider problem".[61] Hobgoblin and Prowler sell weapons to theEnforcers in order to sway them to Hobgoblin's side. Prowler accompanied the Enforcers toSheepshead Bay, Manhattan where they ran into Miles and theCape-Killers members Scorpion and Gust. While Scorpion and Gust defeat the Enforcers, Miles fights his uncle untilStarling arrives withShift andMs. Marvel.[62] After being subdued, Prowler explains his motives for helping Hobgoblin to Miles as well as mentioning that Hobgoblin is working withRabble. After taking them to where Hobgoblin's hideout is, he warns them about his hired muscle as Ms. Marvel notices thatGoldbug,Lady Stilt-Man,Man-Bull,Mr. Fish,Ricadonna, andShocker are outside. He then joins Miles, Gust, and Ms. Marvel in entering the building while the others fight Hobgoblin's hired muscle.[36]

Hobie Brown (Clone)

[edit]

The fourth iteration of Prowler native toEarth-616 is a clone of Hobie Brown. TheJackal cloned Hobie, with all of his memories apparently intact. After learning about the Jackal's mission, Prowler became loyal to him and started acting as a spy to find out what Parker Industries was up to.[29] It is revealed that this Prowler is a clone that Jackal had gathered to grow clones with false memories that span all the way to their deaths.[63]

After stopping a bank robbery that a clone ofMadame Web foresaw, Prowler returns to New U Technologies to stop a fight between clones ofJack O'Lantern,Kangaroo,Massacre,Mirage,Montana, andTarantula. Jackal reminds Hobie that he was brought back to keep the reanimated supervillains in line and that he is to warn him when he leaves the building, so his technology does not go out into the world. Knowing how annoying it is to be stuck in the same location, Jackal assigns Hobie to take care of a potential hacker in San Francisco. When Hobie goes to get more information on the hacker from Madame Web, he is told of seeing buildings filled with agony that cannot escape. After confronting his killer, Electro, Prowler figures out Madame Web's precognition and goes toAlcatraz, where he sets off a trap and gets caught in the process.[64] Hobie wakes up in a cell in Alcatraz and discovers that the hacker isJulia Carpenter, who has been using the Shroud's leftover technology to investigate New U Technologies. Hobie angers Julia by severing an online connection to stop her from looking more into New U Technologies. Back at the company, the villains are getting out of control, so Jackal sends Electro to find Prowler in order to put them under check again. Julia senses that Madame Web is alive from telepathic feedback resulting from Electro's attack. Prowler tells Julia what New U Technologies has accomplished and tries to get Julia to join them, but she refuses and escapes in a puff of black smoke. Prowler's body then starts failing due to not taking his New U Pills for an extended period of time, as he questions what he's doing with his life. He is then confronted by Electro.[65] Prowler tries to escape Electro's wrath in Alcatraz, which proves difficult with Electro's powers and his dying body. Using his weapons, the gift shop and his strategic thinking, Prowler manages to defeat the simple-minded Electro. When he makes it outside, he is found by Julia, who takes him on a boat and heads towards New U Technologies to get his New U Pills.[66]

When Spider-Man and Spider-Woman of Earth-65 are escaping from New U Technologies, Prowler helped the two out by diverting the cloned villains to another part of the city.[67]

Julia helps Prowler break into New U Technologies and takes Prowler to his room to get his pills.[68] When the Jackal orders the villains in the "Haven" part of New U Technologies to kill Spider-Man, Prowler works with Spider-Man to fight the villains off.[69] When the alarm goes off and all the clones start breaking down from clone degeneration, Prowler leaves Haven and tries to find theindividual who set off the system that has been killing the clones. Prowler accuses Julia of being the culprit. He tries to fight Julia, who is left with no choice but to fight back. She then knocks him down as Prowler's body continues deteriorating.[68]

The Prowler clone assistsJean DeWolff's clone in helping Spider-Man get away from the villains.[30] During the final battle, Prowler and DeWolff battle the villains outside. Hobie's body is rapidly decaying, but the two receive assistance from Gwen Stacy of Earth-65 andKaine Parker. Gwen leaves Hobie in an alley when he proves too weak to continue and he is found by Electro. Julia arrives and fends Electro off as Hobie is told that Spider-Man stabilized the human and clone cells. When Electro gets the upper hand on Julia, Prowler sacrifices himself to stop Electro and dies in Julia's arms.[31] Kaine later tells Spider-Man that the clones of Prowler and DeWolff died while fighting the villains.[30]

Powers and abilities

[edit]

The Prowler's various iterations have no superhuman powers, although Hobie Brown is naturally inventive, especially in the field of pneumatics despite no formal education in that science. Each one relies on a suite of technical gimmicks. Prowler wears modified coveralls interwoven with denim and stretch fabric, equipped with gas cartridge bracelets and anklets capable of propelling projectiles at high velocity. Their arsenal of projectiles include steel darts ("flechettes"), gas pellets, small explosives, magnesium flares and cleaning fluid. Prowler has been known to use hypnotic aids and conventional hand-held weapons. Each wears steel-tipped gauntlets for scaling walls and shock absorbent foam rubber insulated boots. He also wears a cape which contains a network of pneumatic filaments which expand with air to give it a rigid structure, allowing him to glide for short distances.

A technological genius, Hobie Brown has also designed the cybernetically-controlled wing harness used byHornet (Peter Parker duringIdentity Crisis), although he himself was unable to use it due to the weight. He is a skilled hand-to-hand combatant, possessing a green belt intaekwondo.

He also tries to turn his life around, taking a job as a subway worker until he discovers that Miles became the new Spider-Man and takes up the Prowler mantle again to protect him. To this end, he strikes a deal with Roxxon to help them find theTinkerer in exchange for the company leaving Spider-Man alone, butSimon Krieger reneges and captures both. After Miles escapes from Roxxon, Aaron kidnaps him to prevent him from endangering himself, but his nephew defeats him and explains it is his duty to protect New York.
