Crime-Master

Few villains carry a name as deliciously old-school as Crime-Master while making their bones in the Copper Age — this sinister figure first stalked the pages of The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #23 in 1989, brought to life by the creative talents of David Michelinie, Conway, and a young Rob Liefeld. Operating in Spider-Man's world means rubbing shoulders with some of Marvel's most compelling figures, from Peter Parker himself to the likes of Normie Osborn and Janice Lincoln. Though the catalog footprint is compact, Crime-Master's presence stretches across more than three decades and into recent Amazing Spider-Man runs, a testament to the enduring appeal of a well-crafted underworld schemer in the Spider-Man rogues' gallery.
