Parker Robbins
In the wake of the Superhuman Registration Act, Robbin's decided to give the call out to all criminals for them to organise under his control. He offered that they work together in the chaos of the Civil War that erupted in the superhero community. Parker offered each attendee seed money to start up their operations on the condition that they consult with him and report to him of any encounter with any superheroes whereupon they would act as a combined group against the hero by targeting their loved ones. As a demonstration for Jigsaw, he targeted Tigra in her civilian identity where he brutally beat her up in her apartment and threatened to kill her mother if she made a move against the criminal community with the entire event being taped as well as shown to his comrades. This caused the supervillain crime community to flock under his banner where they later launched a Deathlok as a distraction against Tony Stark whilst they robbed a bank. Afterwards, they witnessed a Symbiote attack on the Mighty Avengers with the Hood seeing this as another grand opportunity. (New Avengers v1 #35) They used this as an opportunity to make more money when they were attacked by the New Avengers who had gathered other superheroes to attack the Hood along with his allies. Despite their resistance, they were defeated but the Hood managed to escape where he began to free his captured comrades which was a demonstration that he operated differently as he did not intend to leave his allies in prison.
