and artist and co-plotter Steve Ditko
, the team's first appearance
was in The Amazing Spider-Man
#10 (March 1964).
, debuting in #10, and returning in #14 and #18-19, in the latter two issues teaming with the supervillain
the Sandman
. The team would go on to appear in Daredevil

The group originally consisted of:
, hired them to shut down Malone's Flophouse in a bid to gain the land; however, then-amnesiac Malone resident Namor the Sub-Mariner thwarted them, later destroying Osborn's construction equipment. Later the Enforcers aided the Big Man (Frederick Foswell
) in his attempt to gain control of New York City's criminal gangs. They clashed with the superhero Spider-Man
for the first time, and are defeated by him. They next aided the Green Goblin
in his first unsuccessful attempt to eliminate Spider-Man, but were again defeated and jailed. Soon after that, they joined forces with the Sandman
to subdue the Human Torch
at a point where it was believed Spider-Man had become a coward, but are defeated by the combined might of Spider-Man and the Human Torch.
The Enforcers clash repeatedly with Spider-Man and occasionally other heroes such as Daredevil
. Foswell is eventually unmasked and killed. After the Ox, later, appears to be killed, Montana and Fancy Dan team with a new Big Man, as well as with the Sandman and a new Crime Master, Nick Lewis, Jr. son of the original. During a battle in which the team is defeated by Spider-Man, the Human Torch, and the Sons of the Tiger
, Crime Master shoots the new Big Man, learning belatedly that this "Big Man" was, in fact, a woman — Janice Foswell, daughter of the original and the younger Lewis' romantic interest.
The Enforcers were hired by the Lightmaster
, who introduced a new Ox, Raymond Bloch's twin brother Ronald Bloch, to the team. The Enforcers are once again defeated by Spider-Man. They later battle the superhero Dazzler
.
The Enforcers return with new members Snake Marston
, a master contortion
ist and Hammer Harrison
, a boxer
who used two steel gloves. The Enforcers come under the employ of the Kingpin
, but were defeated by Spider-Man and the reformed Sandman. This lineup appears only once more, to fight Daredevil.
The original Ox (Raymond Bloch) returns, revived by the criminal mastermind the Kingpin
. It is unclear whether it is Raymond or Ronald Bloch who appears with Montana and Fancy Dan in subsequent battles with Spider-Man and She-Hulk
.
During the events known as the superhero Civil War
, either Raymond or Ronald Bloch and Snake Marston are recruited into the Thunderbolts
, a team of reformed villains.
Later, they came back together to work for Mister Fear
, which pitted them directly against Daredevil
. After Mister Fear's arrest, the Enforcers are taken in by the Hood
's organization.
Following the events of Spider-Man: Brand New Day
, the Enforcers are patrons at the Bar with No Name. They take bets with a person calling himself "The Bookie", over whether Spider-Man will show up to battle "Basher", an unknown villain who claimed to have fought Spider-Man. Spider-Man shows up, but is revealed to be a fake when the real one shows up. The Enforcers decide to get revenge on The Bookie, capturing him. The Bookie's father calls Spider-Man for assistance, and he agrees to help. Spider-Man defeats Fancy Dan and Montana, and saves Ox from being flattened by a falling rollercoaster. Grateful for the save, Ox agrees to come along quietly.
In the Origin of the Species storyline, Spider-Man goes against the villains after Menace's infant was stolen from him by the Chameleon. The Enforcers weren't actually part of this group ("we're The Enforcers, not The Kidnappers"), but got caught in the crossfire anyway when Sandman tries to recruit them to join up with him.
