Hobie Brown was a reformed anti-villain from Marvel comics. He was talented at inventing and designing, but was always looked down upon when he suggested something new. Tired of his talents being ignored, Hobie created a super-villain costume and turned to crime, becoming the Prowler. As Prowler, he would steal money, namely from the Daily Bugle, and return it as Hobie Brown, so that he could become the hero he had always wanted to be and impress his girlfriend.
This eventually led him to a confrontation with Spider-man. Spidey beat and unmasked him, and Hobie told his story. Spider-man let him go, thinking that he was through with crime. Spider-man went to Hobie several times for favors, and they became semi-allies.
