Biography
Richard Deacon was a male human born in Newark, New Jersey where he came to be a small-time criminal who was shot by the police and left for dead after an unsuccessful kidnapping attempt which was foiled by Spider-Man. He came to stumble into the laboratory of Dr. Harlan Stillwell whose brother Farley Stillwell created the Scorpion for J. Jonah Jameson. Deacon coerced the scientist into saving his life. Overhearing an offer Jameson made with Stillwell to fund the creation of a new superhero, Deacon insisted he be the subject of the experiment. Stillwell imprints the genetic coding of a housefly onto Deacon, empowering him and healing him of his bullet wounds. Deacon then kills Harlan Stillwell after he served his purpose and uses his newfound powers to further his criminal ambitions. He first uses Jameson as bait to get revenge on Spider-Man. Due to his inexperience, the Fly was no match for the hero and was defeated. (Amazing Spider-Man Annual v1 #10)
