Prowler (comics)
Encyclopedia
The Prowler is the name of three fictional characters owned by Marvel Comics
.
#78 (November 1969). Hobie Brown was created by Stan Lee
, John Buscema
and Jim Mooney
, following a "suggestion" by a young John Romita, Jr.
However, when he donned his green and purple "Prowler" costume for the first time, he crossed paths with Spider-Man
. Spider-Man vanquished and unmasked the Prowler, but realizing he was just a misunderstood kid (much like himself), he gave him advice to not throw his life away as a criminal and to redeem himself. Hobie took this advice to heart and has since become a model citizen. Hobie later impersonated Spider-Man at the hero's request - Spider-Man wearing a webbing mask - to convince Peter Parker's friends that he was not Spider-Man after Peter 'confessed' the truth while suffering delirium due to the flu, thus creating the impression that Peter had merely been confused. Hobie became convinced that Spider-Man was involved somehow in the death of police Captain George Stacy
, and unsuccessfully tried to bring Spider-Man to justice. Hobie eventually married his love, Mindy S. McPherson, and settled down into a career as a construction worker.
Hobie began to look after his "little brother", Manuel "Manny" Lopez, as a part of the Big Brother Program. When Manny was murdered, Prowler believed the original White Tiger
was responsible, and attempted to bring the White Tiger to justice. Prowler attempted to join the super-hero group the Defenders
, only to be tossed into the harbor by Valkyrie, at which point he decided to retire his identity. The Prowler equipment was later stolen by the "Cat Burglar", who became the Prowler II to commit crimes for the fashion criminal Belladona. Brown was eager to join the search for the thieves, but Spider-Man insisted that he stay home so he would not get into trouble since the new Prowler had committed a felony murder
. The second Prowler was subsequently defeated by Spider-Man.
Prowler later appeared in California during Peter Parker's "Webs" book deal. He is first seen attacking the Black Fox for possession of a chalice, to keep his wife, Mindy, out of prison. Mindy accepted a bookkeeping job at Transcorp New York. The company was caught in some shady stock deals and Mindy was set up and blamed for the crimes. Seeing only way to clear her name, Hobie re-donned the Prowler costume and found the books which Mindy had been blamed for stealing. He hid the books on an information chip and put the information chip on the chalice, where no one would look for it. Prowler and Spider-Man team up to take on the Black Fox in order to re-gain possession of the chalice. Hobie vindicated his wife of stock fraud charges with the help of Spider-Man and the Black Fox.
The Prowler later attempted to vindicate Spider-Man of a crime, and first encountered Silver Sable
and The Outlaws (including rehabilitated villains like Sandman
, Rocket Racer
and Puma
). His safety designs were stolen by Justin Hammer
; Hobie proved the flaws in the designs during an encounter with Hammer's hirelings. Hobie fought his brother Abe Brown
(member of the Sons of the Tiger
) as an initiation test for Silver Sable. Prowler joined with Spider-Man and the Outlaws against the Avengers
and the Space Phantom
. Prowler was hired along with the Outlaws to retrieve a Symkarian nuclear device in England. Prowler then formally joined the Outlaws, to rescue the kidnapped daughter of a Canadian official.
His costume and equipment were stolen by Nightcreeper, and the Prowler then battled Nightcreeper and the Vulture.
Later, Hobie was paralyzed during the Great Game. In follow-up appearances, he began regaining movement of his paralyzed limbs- evidence suggests that his paralysis was more a result of mental rather than physical damage, as he was feeling frustrated over the recent theft of his costume, eventually regaining full mobility. While recovering, he provided Spider-Man with a jetpack that he used when assuming the new identity of the Hornet
during the Identity Crisis storyline, and later appeared, in costume, at a poker game hosted by the Thing
.
The Prowler was captured by S.H.I.E.L.D.
in Ms. Marvel
's Civil War
tie-in.
Escaping incarceration, he attended the wake
for Stilt-Man
, along with many other villains and former villains. The Prowler narrowly escaped injury as Spider-Man and Puma
escorted him from the wake shortly before it was bombed by the Punisher
.
#47 (1980), Bella Donna stole Brown's costume and equipment and hired, to become a new Prowler, the cat burglar whom Spider-Man originally fought in Amazing Spider-Man #30. That criminal, who wore a simpler version of Brown's costume, accidentally killed a guard during one of his crimes. That Prowler's silhouetted profile confused witnesses enough to have Spider-Man implicated in the murder. Eventually, Spider-Man captured both Belladonna and her accomplice, cleared his name, and returned the stolen equipment to Brown.
He appeared in Punisher War Journal #4, where he was seen at the "Bar With No Name" attending Stilt-Man
's wake, identifying himself as the "Cat Burglar". He had a brief fight with Hobie, who was also attending Stilt-Man's funeral. Sometime after the Prowler left, the Punisher poisoned the guests' drinks and blew the place up. It was later mentioned in She-Hulk
(volume 2) #17 that "they all had to get their stomachs pumped
and be treated for third-degree burns
."
#16-18, a medical intern named Rick Lawson stole the Prowler costume when Hobie was brought in with a back injury; when he was brought into hospital, his costume was partly cut away to conceal his superhero identity, but his friends were unwilling to risk moving him due to his back injury and so a portion of the costume was left that tipped Rick off. With this costume, Rick both robbed patients in the ICU and get revenge on those who had 'wronged' him in the past, such as a construction foreman who fired him when he needed the job to complete medical school. He ran into the Vulture, who was rejuvenated and attempting to kill all who knew him as an old man; he mistook Rick for Hobie and was unconcerned about the mistake. He managed to badly injure Rick by slashing him across the chest with his wings, but was unable to kill Rick when Spider-Man interrupted the fight. As Spider-Man defeated the Vulture, Rick was taken to the hospital and the Prowler costume was returned to Hobie, who began to recover from his paralysis.
A technological genius, he also designed the cybernetically-controlled wing harness used by Peter Parker in the alter ego of the Hornet
during Identity Crisis, although he himself was unable to use it due to the weight.
Hobie is a skilled hand-to-hand combatant, possessing a green belt in taekwondo

Powers and abilities
Prowler has no superhuman powers, but is naturally inventive, especially in the field of pneumatics, although he has no formal education in that science. He relies on a suite of technical gimmicks that he has created. The Prowler wears modified coveralls interwoven with denim and stretch fabric, equipped with gas cartridge bracelets and anklets capable of propelling projectiles at high velocity. His arsenal of projectiles include steel darts ("flechettes"), gas pellets, small explosives, magnesium flares and cleaning fluid. Prowler has been known to use hypnotic aids and conventional hand-held weapons. He wears steel-tipped gauntlets for scaling walls, and shock absorbent foam rubber insulated boots. He also wears a cape which contains a network of pneumatic filaments which expand with air to give it a rigid structure, allowing him to glide for short distances.A technological genius, he also designed the cybernetically-controlled wing harness used by Peter Parker in the alter ego of the Hornet

There are strings attached however as Hobie finds that a shock occurs in his suit when Kingpin contacts him and says that he'll fix the suit if Prowler keeps working for Kingpin. Prowler sought out Peter Parker and told him his story since Peter knows how to get through to Spider-Man. It was discovered by Spider-Man that the Kingpin has wired the suit to shock him if he disobeys and the suit's belt will detonate if he tampers with it. He and Spider-Man team up against the Kingpin and destroyed the controls to the belt so it wouldn't detonate and Prowler's suit is recharged.
