Biography
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)
He approached Mayor Wilson Fisk stating that he would be taking over his position as Kingpin of Crime before departing. Parker was confronted by the Defenders who were provided the information on the Hood's location by Black Cat. Robbin's then assembled the various crime lords stating that they needed to rework their approach where he offered to make them each a Kingpin of a respective territory with himself as the Kingpin of Kingpins that managed them. It was then that the Defenders brought in numerous other superheroes to shut down the crime boss summit. (Defenders v5 #10)
