    I'm starting to notice how there's very little research going into these articles (besides InferioEgo).

    Before becoming business partners with Gergory Bestman, Toomes was originally a man who ran on the wrong side of the law which eventually captured the attention of a ruthless crimelord which resulted with him quitting his criminal pursuits. Even though Toomes settled down by opening a business with Gregory at B+T Electronics which resulted with Toomes losing his career because of Gregory's embezzlement, Toomes ended up becoming the Vulture out of desperation, that eventually turned to greed after seeing how easy it was to simply rob anyone.

    It was also the age where mystery men would appear, which is why Vulture gladly donned the Vulture costume for his crimes. Despite his age and health, Toomes was oblivious to anything else but one simple overlooked fact,...the thrill,..... the experience of flying through the skies,.... something that any aged man would most likely enjoy when gaining the feel of performing such a feat that would give the sensational thought of feeling younger.

    Until some young brat in a costume swoops in takes the feeling away, then we have a reason why Toomes would hate Spiderman so much.

    I also doubt that Toomes would spend his elderly years pursuing a life of business for his invention, even after his recent incident with B+T Electronics.

    Why are people talking about Vulture's lame appearance in SM:TAS, instead of his awesome version in Spectacular Spider-Man? He had a cool red and black armor and was actually pretty formidable, and they even solved the problem of his weird origin and motivations.

    I've never really been a fan of any of Spiderman's villains, but I agree with Zeeguy91.

    idk what it is about him, but i could never root for Vulture, but i am glad Punisher killed that new vulture, because Adrian is a lot cooler.

    Agreed. His nose makes him awesome.

    Vulture was supposed to be in Spider-Man 4, but I'd rather see Andrew Garfield fighting Vulture then that wienerless wiener, Maguire.

    Vulture is the greatest villain ever,no contest.
     
      

      
      
      
     
    Seriously now,i always liked the Vulture and he certanly doesnt get as much respect as he deserves,from fans and characters alike. 
    It has been shown that ,when he is taken seriously by the writter,he can be an interesting character or just a credible threat.
