Trivia[]
- Scorpion's suit is based on it's appearance during the Big Time story of the Amazing Spider-Man comic books.
- It is also very similar to his purple and green Roxxon suit from the comics, but with green being the primary color and the purple being omitted.
- In the Marvel Comics, Scorpion was originally a private investigator, Macdonald Gargan, who Jameson hired to figure out how Peter Parker was able to get quality photos of Spider-Man. When Gargan failed to bring Jameson's results, he paid for $10,000 for Gargan to be part of an experiment that would give the individual characteristics of an animal. This resulted in Gargan losing his sanity and the birth of another one of Spider-Man's foes.
- While his origins in the show have not been revealed, it is obvious Scorpion does not share the same history as his comic book counterpart.
