Mac Gargan was a private investigator that J. Jonah Jameson hired to keep tabs on Peter Parker and Spider-Man, to see if the two had any connection with one-another. But Peter's spider-sense alerts him to evade Gargan. Eventually J. Jonah Jameson paid Mac Gargan to undergo a procedure to gain the proportionate abilities of a scorpion in order to defeat Spider-Man. But the experiment later came to affect Mac Gargan's mind, forcing insanity. Later, The Venom Symbiote passed on to Mac Gargan, the Scorpion, and offered him additional powers. He agreed and Mac became the next host of the Venom symbiote which he thought will give him the advantage he needs in defeating Spider-Man as well as being apart of the Sinister Twelve. But he was still defeated by Spider-Man with the help of other heroes. When Norman Osborn became head of the superhero community, he form a new team of Avengers called the Dark Avengers, where he recruits Venom to be on the team. He first fed Venom with a skrull impersonating Spider-Man and fed him a medication that turns his monstrous form in to more humane look and named him the Spider-Man of the group.
