History

Nick "Lucky" Lewis was a mob boss who tried taking over all the mobs of New York. Lewis was responsible for granting super powers to Terrier, who blackmailed J Jonah Jameson into selling the Daily Bugle for Lewis. He also released Vulture from jail, so he could kill Wilson Fisk before Fisk became a threat.

Later Lewis assumed the Crime-Master identity, inspired by another super criminals, and kidnapped Dr. Carson, who created the cerebra-chip (that turns people into mindless slaves with superhuman strength, speed, and endurance) and his daughter, but Spider-Man saved both of them and destroyed the chips with his Spider-Tracer-Tracker.

Then Crime-Master started a partnership with the Green Goblin. They tried to steal a Seismic Ray Device from Empire State University, but their plan was frustrated by Spider-Man. After the incident Lewis broke the partnership with his Green Goblin, safe in the knowledge that they both knew each other's secret identities so no one could ever reveal them (unaware that Green Goblin impersonated J Jonah Jameson).

He tried to kill Spider-Man, but was gunned down on a rooftop directly across from the Daily Bugle Building, and died before he could reveal to the police the true identity of the Green Goblin.
