While I haven’t had the opportunity to play the new Spider-Man:
Miles Morales, I thought it might be a nice idea to take a look at the most
well-known of Miles’ rogues gallery, The Prowler. As Aaron
Davis didn’t exist during the publication history of the MC2, I’ll
be detailing the sparce information we have on the original Prowler, Hobie
Brown in the MC2.
This is going to be super quick! Unless I’m mistaken the
only mention we have of Hobie Brown’s alter ego is in Amazing Spider-Girl
#4 where the television celebrity Bounty Hunter Julius ‘Mad Dog’
Rassitano notes he is using ‘The Prowler’s steel-tipped claw’ along
with various other gadgets formerly belonging to different super villains.
However, it should be noted that Julius also admits later on
that much of his equipment and gadgets come from his television program’s prop
department. I say most because he does also appear to possess some genuine
articles, such as confiscating the retractable legs of Stilt-Man when he
captured the villain or purchasing the suction-grippers of The Beetle on
eBay (Amazing Spider-Girl #5).
It’s unknown what the status of Hobie Brown is in the
MC2’s present-day, but the appearance of his alter ego’s gauntlet gadgets
does leave the potential for a future appearance someday should the MC2
ever grace the comics world again.
Until I develop my own battle suit and clawed gauntlets only
to become the second most recognizable version of the identity I originated, I
remain
frogoat
