History
Ace Spencer grew up in poverty in the slums of New York. His mother was forced to become bedridden while Ace was a teenager, and Ace raised his brother and sister on his own. At some point, Ace joined a gang called the Reapers, and later became their leader.[2]
Ace soon found out that he was mutant and quit the gang. Ace found work as a freelance security guard. Later, Ace witnessed a gang shooting by his brother, who had since joined the Reapers. Ace was sought by the New York police and Spider-Man. Spider-Man ultimately confronted and battled Ace, finally convincing Ace of his responsibility to help others, beginning with turning in his brother.[3]Attributes

Notes
- Artist Mark Bright designed the character based on his own appearance, but more restrained.[4]
- According to Peter David, Ace is also meant to resemble Prince. Although it turned out that the artist Mark Beachum, who illustrated Ace, based his appearance on himself much to David's surprise when he first met Mark that he looked exactly just like Ace.[5]
