List of Spider-Slayers - Mark V

Mark V

The first Spider-Slayer not created by Spencer Smythe, the Mark V was built by Dr. Marla Madison and J. Jonah Jameson. Tracking down Spider-Man, the Slayer engaged him in battle, as well as Will o' the Wisp who was at the scene at the time. Though powerful, this Slayer was destroyed when Spider-Man caused a statue of Prometheus to collapse on top of it, crushing it.

The Reanimator would somehow acquire the Mark V and use it against Wolverine, who destroyed it. Despite the fact that it was not created by either him or his father, Alistair Smythe had a duplicate of the Mark V in his Spider-Slayer army. This new Mark V was destroyed by Spider-Man, along with the rest of Alistair's Slayers.

Unlike previous Spider-Slayers, the Mark V was controlled through mental commands transmitted through a special helmet, meaning this Slayer had better reaction time than previous ones. Mark V also possessed super-strength, a web-shooter, and a laser-cannon which shot "Impulse Beams".

Famous quotes containing the word mark:

    It is the mark of a great man that he puts to flight all ordinary calculations. He is at once sublime and touching, childlike and of the race of giants.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    So unrecorded did it slip away,
    So blind was I to see and to foresee,
    So dull to mark the budding of my tree
    That would not blossom yet for many a May.
    If only I could recollect it, such
    A day of days! I let it come and go
    As traceless as a thaw of bygone snow;
    It seemed to mean so little, meant so much;
    If only now I could recall that touch,
    First touch of hand in hand—Did one but know!
    Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
