Background
Formerly an Engineer for NATO, Cyclone had a falling out with his former
employees, supposedly related to political decisions over implementing his
research, based on the development of a wind-generating weapon.
Cyclone took his invention, and used it for his own criminal ends, developing
his Cyclone costume and other weapons.
Like many criminal masterminds in Spider-Man comics, he decided to form a gang
and capture Robbie Robertson and J. Jonah Jameson. Like so many
criminal masterminds who follow this plan, he was defeated by Spider-Man.
He was subsequently employed by the Maggia, and was doing relatively well for
himself (in spite of a subsequent defeat at the hands of Spider-Man), when he
was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and met his death at the hands of
Scourge.
The Cyclone should not be confused with Cyclone II (Pierre Fresson) from
Thunderbolts.
