History

Raniero "Blackie" Drago was Adrian Toomes' prison cellmate. He tricked Toomes and stole the Vulture harness and costume. He used the suit to make money through air piracy, which ended up in a three-way battle against Spider-Man and Kraven the Hunter, which Spider-Man won. Toomes later helped him escape from prison, but that was merely so that Toomes could prove himself the true Vulture once again. Once free, he was subsequently defeated and humiliated by Toomes who regained the recognition he deserved. A humbled Blackie was taken away by the police, vowing "I'm through!! I'll never put these wings on again!"

Years later, he was spotted by Spider-Man while still incarcerated at Ryker's.
