Gentleman, How Do We Fix Scorpion?

As seen here getting his ass kicked by All New All Edge Venom, this brings up a good question: What the fuck happened to this character? One of Spider Mans oldest foes (predating characters like Shocker and Rhino), this guy was intended to be the stronger, evil arachnid to challenge Peter Parker. And yet after so long, hes STILL a fucking joke who occasionally comes around to job. What needs to change? Or should Mac just be forgotten?

More like how do we fix all of Pete's rogue gallery

Let Scorpion kill Peter Parker. He stabs Peter in the brain with his tail and Peter Parker dies. Then dormant Doc Ock memories re-surface and we're treated to Superior Spider-Man Volume 2!

Scorpion gets his win, and we all win.

Fuck off Otto

Give the mantle to someone else. It worked wonders for Gargan when they made him Venom, it was the most interesting he's ever been as a character. So peel him out of the suit and give it and the powers to someone new. Because the problem with Scorpion isn't the concept, it's always been Mac himself. There's just not enough there to sustain an actually interesting character, look at Otto and Osborn, their powers aren't what make them interesting, it's their mentality, their personalities and egos. Gargan's just a hired thug JJJ used as a guinea pig. All you get with him is some thuggish mook who exists to job. Shocker pulls off pretty much the same shtick but Shocker is actually likeable, which is more than can be ever said for Gargan.

Well they did.. to a female and she sucked basically. Save for fap material. When she sucked for a different kind of purpose.

Bring back Carmilla Black

Scorpion has never really gone anywhere.
Thematically he's an evil arachnid but Venom replaced him because of cooler powers and all he's accomplished so far is just eventually becoming Venom... Who as a villain has accomplished squat. As a hero at least it developed a stellar Flash Thompson and a slew of new designs.

What we need is to divide these "evil spider" rogues in such a way that it makes sense for the enemies to be thematically different to the heroes.

Peter already has the Goblin and Doc Ock. Ocassionally Venom shows up to contrast, so he's covered.
Venom has Carnage and Jack O Lantern whenever he goes good.
But Miles doesn't have anyone, so let's throw the Scorpion at him. Miles is inexperienced, Gargan has been around and can act as the wiseguy sort that keeps the kid in check. Add more to it have Venom Blast not work on Scorpion's armor since it's synthetic and isolated.

Have Miles drop the web shooters/Spider mantle, make Miles the new Scorpion

Yea, what happened to that ? Slott in a span of one page made Otto irrelevant again?

ALRIGHT HERE'S WHAT WE DO WITH SCORPION:

We give him a family, have General Thunderbolt start a new task force called the Scorpions with the objective of jungle and desert advanced warfare, we have Scorpion talk with his family at home while dealing with missions and bonding with soldiers who feard him, nhance his tactical abilities.

Well Mac is already a directionless idiot, might as well make him a soldier and get some good use out of him. Or we could make Jay Jonah Jameson the new Scorpion

No reason, we want to fix the current one, not necessarily start over.

Let Ed boon write him than he will be the most overpowered character in any universe they throw him into. Also he will never fucking DIE

>"Hes a fucking ghost! He'll be back in like 10 minutes!"

I was expecting a better, sexier design.

This thread makes me want to start a "Comic book pitches" thread.

aybe you should

Scorpion only has two things going for him. He's a dark reflection of Spider-Man and he's physically stronger than him. The problem is that the dark reflection aspect is better filled by Venom and being stronger is best covered by Rhino, leaving Mac in an awkward position in Spidey's rogues gallery.

...holy fucking shit, yes

It actually works so much better with the Venom Shock than a spider theme.

Turn him into an actual scorpion.

Make Scorpion a woman. Give her a badass and sexy-looking Scorpion suit. Make her act SUPER sexual. Like so sexual that she thinks Spider-Man is hot and wants to fuck him. She would still be evil and she would consider him an enemy. But she also wants to fuck him.

>FemScorpion pins down Spider-Man in her sexy Scorpion suit

>".....are you this close because you're afraid you might miss with the tail or?"

This look is so much better.

Ever wonder how Scorpion even fights with that tail on his back? Hes always hunched over

Uhmm...

Shame Bendis will never allow it

I always thought this was the best design for scorpion. I like teenage scorpion, but I can do without peter clone.

Shitty costume.

Bad costume, not badass and not that sexy either.

I'd hit it

cool costume indeed

What happened to his mutated jaw?

Is it better or worse than her old look?

While we're at it why no make him a real threat like he was in the 90's cartoon?

That's kinda hot

>venom stronger than spider-man
>SpOck not holding back took off Gargan's jaw
>edgy Venom punching him in an intact face
No

Shocker doesn't need fixing. He's perfectly god damn serviceable and has been for years.

Several others need retirement+counseling, but we'll see how the Clone Wars shakes out. It's okay for characters to have arcs, god damn it.

Give him his own PI comic, like Jessica Jones but better. Maybe something pushes him back into supervillany, like some new hero recognizing him and attacking, fucking up an important case he was doing and he realizes he'll never catch a break and puts the suit back on

What has Gargan ever done to even remotely indicate he wants to go straight?

the fuck happened to her?
and was it ever confirmed that bruce banner was still her real father. or was that a left over from house of M only?

Who doesn't want to not go back to jail?

I'm thinking just of the time Smyth gave him his new suit with the claw hands, and he made a comment about being able to think clearly after so much time when he used his old detective skills to figure out Smythes plan or something

After that whole mess with the Spider-Slayers he went on to do what, work for Alchemex? How'd that work out?

He's currently a lieutenant for Black Cat's crime family and wants nothing to do with super human psychotics.

Ironic coming from the cannibal.

A good writer and focus on his hatred and insecurity.

Remember his conversation with Peter in Marvel Knights? Focus on how much he resents Peter, have him focused on tearing Peter down after learning his identity again and not just through brute force. No more just being a lackey, have him use his experience and improve himself.

...

Mark Hamill's voice was the threatening part tho

Both of these costumes do not cover her face or head at all. FemScorpion's face and head should be concealed, with only her eyes and mouth uncovered so she can kiss and lick Spider-Man.

bump

>venomfags complaining about edge

this will never not be hilarious to me

>he went on to do what, work for Alchemex? How'd that work out?
Unclear. After the 8 month time skip Miguel was suddenly working for Parker Industries instead of Alchemax so we don't know why Gargan stopped working there as well.
