Mark XIV
A robot designed by Max Young, but built by Alistair Smythe, the Mark XIV possessed artificial intelligence and three distinct personalities (based on aspects of Max himself) in each of its three heads. Attacking Spider-Man and Black Cat at a prison, the Mark XIV seemed to have the upper-hand, until Spider-Man caused the robot's minds to quarrel with one another; in the end, the Slayer blew up its own head.
Another Mark XIV, this one lacking a mind, was created by Alistair to be a soldier in his Spider-Slayer army and was destroyed by Spider-Man.
The Mark XIV could fly through the use of a jetpack, could shoot energy beams out of its fingers, and possessed super-strength. It also had several hook-ended tentacles.
