~ Jackal |
Professor Miles Warren, better known as The Jackal, is a supervillain from Marvel Comics who originated from Spider-Man comics as the fifth archnemsis of the webslinger. Jackal is a brilliant yet delusional geneticist who specialized in cloning engineering, obsessed not only with killing Spider-Man but to revive Gwen Stacy. He dislikes anyone who objected to his actions and was not afraid to kill them in brutal ways. This brought him into conflict with Spider-Man, his arch-enemy. He would consistently inject himself with serums to make himself stronger and faster and try to perfect cloning technology, cloning Gwen Stacy, Peter Parker and himself. An innumerable amount of his own clones have independently menaced Spider-Man on numerous occasions.
Warren was responsible for creating the first two clones of Peter Parker, Kaine Parker and Ben Reilly, who became the supervillain/anti-hero Tarantula and superhero Scarlet Spider. Originally trying to use the two clones against Peter, they'd eventually turn against him and set out on their own paths as Tarantula and Scarlet Spider. He would later strive to drive the original Peter insane by conspiring to confuse the status of which out of him or Ben Reilly was the template and which was the clone with various tampered tests and on-the-take scientists in an attempt to mentally break and demoralize him, briefly succeeding when Peter resolved to retire and hand off the mantle of Spider-Man to Ben. However, unbeknownst to all, Jackal included, the entire conspiracy was ultimately masterminded by a still-alive Norman Osborn, who had been secretly backing and manipulating Jackal's efforts and schemes alongside other events throughout the catastrophe, murdering Ben and galvanizing Peter to retake his place as Spider-Man. He would later be murdered by the rogue Kaine, but this was revealed as just another cloned decoy. Another flawed clone of Warren, dubbed Carrion, would develop a contagious degenerative disease known as the Carrion Virus, which would restructure the DNA of the afflicted person into a select subject of the Jackal's ire (namely Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy). He was ultimately responsible for most of Kaine's villainous tenure as Tarantula, coming to an apex in Spider-Island, and Ben's gradual turn to villainy, having taken his dusty remains and constantly killing-and-resurrecting him, causing Ben to snap and brainwash Warren into thinking he was another clone and taking over his operations, succeeding him as Jackal II and later as Chasm.
He is best known as the main antagonist of each Clone Saga storyline (both the original and the extended second, with help from Norman Osborn/Green Goblin, Harry Osborn/New Goblin, Gaunt, Chameleon, Vulture, Judas Traveller, and his mentor the High Evolutionary), the Spider-Island storyline alongside Adriana Soria/The Spider-Queen, and the overarching antagonist of the Scarlet Spider books and true main antagonist of Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy.
Beside Spider-Man or Scarlet Spider, Jackal is also an enemy of The Punisher, Daredevil, and Venom.
Biography[]
He is mostly a foe of Spider-Man, perhaps best known from The Clone Saga Arc, as well as being known for his secret identity as Miles Warren, college professor of the hero's first love, Gwen Stacy, who he was infatuated with.
Warren was stricken with grief when Gwen died at the hands of the Green Goblin, but blamed Spider-Man for the event and swore he will make him pay for his student's murder.
Warren was a normal college professor with an unhealthy infatuation towards Gwen Stacy. When Gwen was murdered, Miles was driven mad and becomes the creature criminal known as "Jackal".
It is his actions that cause the events of The Clone Saga.
Powers and Abilities[]
Prior to his transformation, Miles was a genius scientist, particularly invested in biochemistry, genetics, and cloning. He was also a trained martial artist and gymnast. By splicing his genes with those of a jackal, his physical attributes are boosted to superhuman levels.
Trivia[]
- Jackal appears in a few episodes of Spider-Man: TAS.
- He also appears in Spectacular Spider-Man.
- Raymond Warren / The Jackal (voiced by John DiMaggio) appears as a recurring antagonist in Marvel's Spider-Man.
