Supermind Vulture (Marvel Comics)

Vulture (Marvel Comics) does not belong to the most famous comic book super villains. Nevertheless, this article will be devoted to this character. The Vulture's nickname was worn by six villains of the universe of Marvel, the most famous being Adrian Tooms, the eternal enemy of Spider-Man. About him and talk.

How the Vulture appeared

Marvel Comics usually always gives his characters a rich biography, and our super-villain was no exception.

Adrian Tums at an early age lost his parents and was brought up by Marcus, the elder brother. Already in those years he was notably distinguished by his mental abilities. Growing up, Adrian chose the profession of an electronics engineer. In those same years he invented a suit that allowed him to fly like a bird. But his partner Bestman stole the development and sold it. Tums could not prove his rights to the invention. In a vain attempt to restore justice, he broke into Bestman's office and robbed him. It did not lead to anything, but from that moment Adrian took the side of evil and took a name for himself Vulture.

Marvel Comics (the heroes created by this company, constantly face villains) decided to reduce the ways of Spider-Man and Vulture when the latter traded in air piracy. The Spider himself needed pictures of the Vulture in order to get the "Daily Beagle" award. The first fight Tumesu managed to win, and Spider-Man almost lost his life. But soon the superhero managed to develop a device that violates the work of the Vulture's costume. As a result, Tums was defeated and was imprisoned. We can say that it was from this moment began the eternal confrontation of the characters.

Powers and abilities

The vulture (Marvel Comics) is not endowed with super powers, so he uses all sorts of devices for battling with superheroes. Let's list the advantages that give him all kinds of gadgets:

• Levitation. Even without using his belt for flights, Thums is able to levitate, because he used the device for a long time. But at the same time the speed of his flight is greatly reduced.
• Manipulation by gravity. With the help of magnetic technologies, the Vulture is able to lift heavy objects, such as a water tower.
• Inhuman strength. The electromagnetic belt increases the vulture's strength several times. Using it, he can lift an object weighing up to 317 kg.
• Intelligence. Tums is an ingenious electronics engineer and has knowledge in the field of engineering and electronics. Almost all of his equipment he created himself.

Equipment

As noted above, no super-strong Vulture is endowed. The world of comics "Marvel" includes a huge number of characters, but those whose strengths depend on technology, not so much. So, let's list the equipment that makes the Vulture equal to the characters with superpowers:

• Wings and electromagnetic belt. With the help of these gadgets, Tums is able to climb to a height of 11 thousand feet and develop a speed of 153 km / h. To his flying suit an antigravity generator is attached, which allows the villain to fly into the air with the help of wing flaps. And the electromagnetic belt increases its physical strength and increases its vitality. When Tums takes off his suit, his abilities gradually disappear.
• Feather-blades The vulture uses as a throwing weapon. At the same time, their loss does not affect the flying characteristics of the suit.
• The weapon. The vulture does not hesitate to use ordinary and energy pistols, knives, grenades and gloves with claws.

Other Vultures

As noted above, the pseudonym of the Vulture (Marvel Comics) wore more than one character. Let's list those who still owned this name:

• Raniero Drago became a vulture, finding out from Tumes the location of the spare suit, while they were together in prison.
• Clifton Shalot distraught, put on a Vulture suit and used a machine of tramutation. As a result, I grew up with a suit.
• Honcho - the former co-commissar of Tumes, who was able to independently collect similar armor.
• James Natal became a vulture monster as a result of the experiment to create a super soldier. Then he became mad and started killing everyone.

Such is the story of the supervillain nicknamed the Vulture. The heroes of the comic books "Marvel" are now enjoying increasing popularity, therefore, probably, soon this character will also get onto our movie screens.
