History

The Specialist was a samurai warrior working as Stark-Fujikawa's corporate headquarters in 2099 AD.

Powerful Alchemax Vice-President Tyler Stone contacted Stark-Fujikawa to employ the Specialist in order to kidnap a woman named Kasey Nash, who owed the MegaCorp. a debt. When Nash escaped from Alchemax the Specialist was honor bound to recapture her, and got into a confrontation with the new Spider-Man. During the fight, Spider-Man inadvertently slit the Specialist's throat with his talons, accidentally killing him.

All this was anticipated by Stone, who had hoped to manipulate Stark-Fujikawa into a debt of honor to avenge themselves against Spider-Man, leaving Stone free to concentrate on other matters while Spider-Man was dealt with.

Specialist later resurfaced, trying to stop the Superior Spider-Man from raiding Stark-Fujikawa's North American headquarters, but Spider-Man was able to escape.
