https://www.cbr.com/the-most-obscure-spider-man-action-figures-of-the-90s/“Swarm is one of the most outlandish superhero villains of all-time, as he was a former Nazi scientist who had escaped to South America where he became a beekeeper. A meteor landed near his bees and mutated them into super bees. He tried to investigate and take control of the super bees but they instead devoured him, leaving only a skeleton. However, in doing so they formed a strange telepathic connection to him, so now he could control the bees and use them to make the swarm his body. So yes, he is a Nazi with a body of bees. That’s one heck of a supervillain idea!”:bloblul:#marvel#spiderman

@Leradvor I also love the Tarantula entry 🤣When Gerry Conway introduced the Tarantula during the original "Clone Saga," he had the non-super-powered Tarantula handle Spider-Man very well, which went along with Conway's general viewpoint regarding Spider-Man...When Roger Stern then took over "Amazing Spider-Man" in the early 1980s, he wanted to re-establish Spider-Man's fighting credibility. That was shown by him easily defeating Tarantula. Stern went further and even killed Tarantula off.When Conway returned to the Spider-books in the late 1980s, he promptly re-introduced a brand-new Tarantula soon into his run, and made this Tarantula more powerful, so he could tangle with Spider-Man more easily. This Tarantula was killed off, as well, in a "Venom" storyline. During a recent arc on "Amazing Spider-Man," Conway introduced yet another new Tarantula.

@Petra_fied Tbh when one reads DC & Marvel character articles on the english Wikipedia “there were three different characters with that superhero/villain name” sounds relatively tame.

@Petra_fied Somehow I hope that Swarm receives a modern reimagining with the science background but without the Nazi background.

@Leradvor true lmaoI mostly love the petty fight that is Tarantula. Comics really aren't my world and I don't know much about them, but my word when you look at some of it, the amount of just... mess is astounding.

@Petra_fied I’m not a huge comic buff but a lot of DC & Marvel characters have a section about every single continuity they appeared in.

@Petra_fied Nicolas Cage once auditioned to play Superman but was refused.

@Leradvor This fact is beautiful on its own, but doubly so when you consider the sorts of roles he has signed up for.

@Petra_fied I wonder if Christopher Walken should play Swarm in a Spiderman movie.Even if the movie bombs Walken’s performance could be the most memorable thing about it.

@Leradvor hhhHA I love this. He's trying so hard to look grizzled and serious, but he can't escape just being himself.Al Pacino would also be an interesting choice.In a very different direction, if he were still alive, Klaus Kinski would make a great raging bee-nazi.
