Dusk (comics) - Peter Parker

Peter Parker

When Spider-Man was accused of murder during the Identity Crisis storyline, he donned several different costumes to continue saving lives without anyone knowing it was him. One of the identities he adopted was that of Dusk. As Dusk, he pretended to be a mercenary with a quiet, serious personality, and teamed up with Trapster, who had in fact framed him for murder under Norman Osborn's orders by using a duplicate of Spider-Man's webbing to kill a small-time crook called Joey Z. After helping the Trapster escape an attack from the Shocker, Trapster and Dusk became regular allies, taking out some of Osborn's various criminal activities across the city. Although Dusk failed to record a confrontation between Trapster and Osborn where Osborn admitted his role in the murder, he was able to convince the Trapster that the best way to hurt Osborn now was to admit his role in framing Spider-Man for Joey Z's murder. When he cleared his name, he abandoned the costume.

Although the hero called Black Marvel later gave Cassie St. Commons a duplicate Dusk costume, Spider-Man remained in possession of the original. It has not been worn/seen since.
