Crime Master

A new incarnation of the classic Spider-Man villain Crime Master, this ruthless crime lord emerged in 2022 operating within New York's underworld alongside dangerous figures such as Hammerhead and Madame Masque, positioning himself as a major threat in Spider-Man's world.

Few villains make an entrance quite like Crime Master, who crashed into the Modern Age Marvel Universe through the pages of The Amazing Spider-Man #1 (2022) — the landmark relaunch helmed by the celebrated creative team of Zeb Wells and John Romita Jr. In just 15 catalogued appearances, this menacing figure has already carved out a place in Spider-Man's world, sharing the stage with heavy hitters like Hammerhead, Giuletta Nefaria, and Madame Masque — a rogues' gallery that signals Crime Master moves in genuinely dangerous criminal circles. It's a compact but potent presence, the kind of character whose every appearance carries weight precisely because they've been deployed with purpose rather than scattered across decades. For fans following Wells' acclaimed run on Amazing Spider-Man, Crime Master is essential reading — a fresh threat with serious underworld company.
