6. The Prowler
(Spider-Man, Marvel Comics)
Hobie Brown started off as a simple inventor but, inspired by Stilt-Man’s suit, he decided to become a costumed robber.
And by some honest-to-God miracle, despite being inspired by one of the dumbest supervillains in history, he came out with a pretty cool costume and some neat gadgets.
After fighting with Spider-Man, Hobie decided he’d rather use his talents for good than for ill and reformed. He even pretended to be Spider-Man a couple of times to help protect Peter Parker’s secret identity. He bounced around a ton and secured gainful employment with Silver Sable’s crew, the Wild Pack, but kept getting held up by different people who stole his suit and committed crimes.
He was arrested for violating the Superhuman Registration Act, but cleared his name by working for the newly successful Parker Industries. Until he got burned and then cloned and then quit, and now he’s doing God knows what.
