Title: DEADLY FOES OF SPIDER-MAN#1-4 by Danny Fingeroth
(writer) and Al Milgrom(art)
Synopsis: The Shocker has recurring nightmares about Scourge
and
is obviously extremely scared about being hit by him. Taking advantage
of the Shocker's fears the Kingpin send a Scourge imposter to kill the
Shocker but the Shocker survives. There is also a more minor Scourge
subplot discussed below.
Is it a key part of the overall Scourge storyline? Yes and
no. No Scourge
actually appears in this story, but we dio get to see the effect Scourge
has on other villains
Does it tie into the main story in these issues? Not too
much. It's an interesting
character bit whoich enhances the overall story, but doesn't really
impact on what the other villains are doing. It almost makes some nice
contrast with the Ringer's wife, who becomes a villain in tribute to her
husband who was apparently killed by Scourge.

Beyond discussing how the Ringer survived (with a flashback to the
massacre site), no real Scourge material. See
my review of the massacre in Captain
America#319 for a look at the
implications of
this.
