—The Wall

Joshua Waldemeyer, a.k.a The Wall, is a former student and part-time brick/cement mason who became a living wall after a tragic construction accident. After an ordeal with Spider-Man, he stopped his life of crime.

History

While happily working at his part time job one day, laying bricks and pouring cement, Joshua Waldemeyer was caught in a sudden explosion. The blast sent one of the walls Joshua had been working on tumbling down on top of him. Instead of crushing Joshua, the accident bound him with the bricks, turning him into a living wall.

Soon after his accident, Joshua found himself wreaking havoc, stumbling into a New York Mets game, interfering with the players and manipulating the umpires, and ultimately killing an ump named Morgan Freeman. Spider-Man, who just happened to be at the game taking it in on an off-day, stepped in to save the day.

Spider-Man's webbing was powerless against the Wall, and he did not feel any pain from Spidey's physical attacks. Morgan Freeman then revived himself and got mad, stating that non-players were not allowed on the field, forcing Spider-Man and the Wall to leave promptly.

Spider-Man and the Wall then retreated to a nearby park bench and talked things out.

Personality

Joshua Waldemeyer was a happy student, working an after school job, though his accident left him obviously angry and upset. Spider-Man appears to have been able to talk him down to a reasonable level.
