A Tale of Two Stillwells: The Origin of The Scorpion and The Human Fly

[@michaeljones2925]

I always liked the Scorpion and The Shocker they always was my favorite underrated Supervilliens.

[@alexferrana3979]

Shocker is really underrated and most people think he is a weak, but actually he has some good showing.

[@JahRize]

Mr. Pancake samee😂😂

[@twizzlerlemonpie3083]

Kraven the hunter is underrated as well. Hes one of the few spiderman villains that can confidently say hes come close to actually killing spiderman.

[@robmarconi6758]

I didn't care for the Shocker in the Spiderman movie. Just another guy who shoots blasts. Much preferred the comics version

[@elviejomonca4719]

Still, those 2 are some of the quintessential _JOBBERS_

[@julianxamo7835]

An adaptation of this scorpion story would be great for MCU Spider Man 4, this J Jonah seems more evil than Raimi's Scorpion is already shown as a Merc who hates Spider-Man so J Jonah hiring him for the job would be perfect

[@adriengadson3544]

Jameson was spider man's greatest villain back then...real ' S O B !

[@chancegoode173]

In the 1960”s Spider-Man cartoon show the human fly was actually two twin brothers playing the role that were trained acrobatics and did high scale Burglaries, beating Spidey up with their acrobatic moves and also because he didn’t realize it was two of them instead of only one villain playing the role of the fly.

[@yeasty773papa3]

I'm glad someone was able to show the origin story of the scorpion. And I learned more from this than watching a watchmojo video that's for sure.

[@craigh5236]

Watchmojo just repeats the same lists and gets so many things just plain wrong

[@ThePinkMan]

The Kingpin later used Harlan Stillwell's equipment to give Black Cat her superpowers, as well as create a henchman for himself known as the Answer.

[@macaemeia146]

the Human fly is my favorite obscure spiderman villain

Damn and man I Never knew how EVIL Jonah Jameson is

[@alexferrana3979]

He actually pretty damn asshole. I didn't really like him.

[@petergant8767]

You're right, He's greedy, overly opinionated, self-obsessed, and, TOTALLY unable and unwilling to admit not only that he COULD be wrong, but, when he IS wrong! I remember in Spider-man's early days, J. Jonah Jameson hired an Private Investigator to shadow Peter Parker, to see where.and how he was getting his exclusive photos of Spider-man. When that panned out, he hired that SAME person, who had the same lack of scruples he had, to undergo a procedure to give him super-powers, similar to Spider-man's! If not for J. Jonah Jameson's involvement, The Scorpion might NEVER have been created!, and, a gifted researcher might still be alive! Not able to learn from just ONE life lesson, he also financed the FIRST Spider-Slayer robot, and, had it sent out, without testing, into the streets. When his son gained super-powers on a Space mission, guess what, he did it again, endangering his own son's life!

[@danielcebastionmunizYT]

@@petergant8767 beautiful

[@alphatrion100]

He had a spiderslayer i remember

[@quinnsanders4676]

there should have been comic where he became a supervillain

[@vincenttyson9243]

It would have been awesome if the two villains team up. But, the Human Fly was later shot and killed by the vigilante killer Scourge. Oh, yeah. I almost forgot. He was Resurrected am I'm right?

[@MerryMarvelite]

Yeah, and he was even more gross and fly-like after that. He was featured in the Flash Thompson Venom series.

[@alexferrana3979]

And was forgotten again. But his mutated look was really gross. Especially his acid vomit and cannibalism

[@reggietuggle9896]

Anyone have a picture of that to share? I would love to see it.

[@alienalchemist]

The scientist who turn Mac Gargan into Scorpion did the right call to use scorpion dna to defeat Spider-man. Cuz scorpion is eats spider. On the otherhand his brother use a house fly dna in hoping to defeat Spider-man. There are other animals of insects that prey on spiders like centipedes, other spiders, wasps and frogs.

[@Artisan1979]

Seriously, I think that Stillwells brother deliberately imprinted the genetic code of a housefly so that this clown could easily be defeated by Spiderman so even if he did lose his life, he ultimately won in the end. I highly doubt that a scientist with such expertise would create an opponent for a man with the proportion of powers of a spider by imbuing him with the attributes of the spiders prey.

[@youtubestudiosucks978]

You're prey

[@stevebourgeault8340]

Boy I love Spider-Man

[@roostert9656]

When you think about, the main reason the two Stillwells died was because of Jameson. JJ basically got away with murder. If wasn't for JJ, the two Stillwells wouldn't have gotten involved with the creation of the supervillains and tragically killed afterwards. JJ was the most evil out of all.

[@ottooctavius9552]

He didn’t directly kill them. That’s like saying Spider-Man killed Gwen Stacy. They knew what they were getting into.

[@DeltaDonsan]

@@ottooctavius9552the 2nd still well didn’t, he hadn’t done anything and was held at gunpoint

[@LegacyComics100]

Scorpion needs more love.

[@garyjones1688]

I really like the Spider-Man villains that made of insects I see animals freak accidents and everything

[@danielcebastionmunizYT]

The fly is definitely underrated

[@alexferrana3979]

True. I even saw a respect threads about him once.

[@trippytimesjosh355]

Based on a real life person as well

[@Cerulean0987]

There is a really good story about the Fly in Moon Knight #35. In that story Moon Knight, trying to stop a robbery being committed by the Fly, got his back broken when he approached the Fly from behind. The X-men guess star.

[@lebronjame2016]

YESSSS please keep making more of this!!

[@kchishol1970]

It would have been even better if you had mentioned how the Hobgolbin later blackmailed JJJ about the Scorpion.

[@Artisan1979]

I think they heard you because in Jamison's origin story, it's mentioned that he confided in Norman Osborn, his close friend, about how the scorpion came into being, which Stormin' Norman wrote down in his journal, later utilized by the hobgoblin to blackmail him.

[@darthbrutalicious6066]

[@reggietuggle9896]

What ever happened to the Human Fly? You don’t see him anymore.

That were apart of the sinister six in Spider-Man TAS.

[@spider59er35]

Spider vs the fly _Wonder how that’ll go_ Honestly the human flies from the 1967 Spiderman show, were way better than this guy getting power from Stilwell

[@jefferysummers830]

yes,he is. LOL!!

[@craigh5236]

JJ Jameson should have been thrown in jail. He created supervillains!

[@garyjones1688]

I would love to see the human fly more

[@danielk8906]

Okay. I am a big fan of Spidey and respect all of his enemies but did scorpions have tails with no stingers in 1964? Even if its a robotic tail, wouldn't you put a stinger on it? At best it looks like a giant segmented green finger. At worst... Been bothering me since I first saw it at age 5 in 1979... lol for real.

[@trippytimesjosh355]

If I'm not mistaken The Human Fly was inspired by a real life stunt devil of the same name.. not a criminal obviously though

[@ThristianSilas]

Please do green goblin origins story

[@luckygnome]

At first I thought it was scorpion from mortal kombat in the thumbnail lol

[@e-convoy1783]

Can we just get a comic where JJJ actually gets testified in the court for not only yellow journalism in various degrees, but also because of the villains he created such as the scorpion, Human fly, and the spider slayers? Heck he could be in trouble for involuntary man-slaughter since his commissioned creations resulted in the death of all of their creators? at least for the 1967 cartoon he should be thrown into jail!?

[@owellafehr5191]

I think there actually is a book like that, look up Spider-Man Life Story (I think it's called.)

[@harryguidotti3815]

Is it Mac Gargan or Matt Gargan? I've always heard it as Matt. Have I been mishearing it all these years?

[@MerryMarvelite]

It is Mac Gargan! It's short for MacDonald.

[@vistaxx]

@@MerryMarvelite that is that gargan what was fused with Venom can you make a video how they fused

[@ayooderic8467]

Spiders eat flies duh

[@theamericanshepherd5378]

I don't know why anyone would name themself a fly. When a person chooses an animal for their gimmick they usually pick ones that are strong, majestic, or scary. How does a fly say any of that?

[@saadismail1622]

Because he turned into a human/fly monster, What else would he call himself?? 😁😁

[@dunnali4020]

💯💯🔥

[@smiles2054]

\of course spiderman would win against the human fly.

[@jefferysummers830]

🤔😂

[@ThayneGill]

I know I’m probably gonna get a lot of flack for saying this, but I don’t consider JJ a villain, just an annoyance, basically an idiotic bigot Who can’t keep his mouth shut, plus I think it’s ironic that he’s trying to make heroes to get rid of a hero, only for it to backfire. The spider slayers, scorpion, and the human fly. And that’s without without mentioning man wolf, but sometimes there are stories where he has been a hero, amazing Spider-Man annual number 18 is a prime example of that.
