Fictional Character Biography
Miles Warren was a professor of biology at Empire State University. There, he met Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy. During his tenure there, Warren secretly fell in love with the much younger Stacy. After Stacy was murdered by the original Green Goblin, Warren swore vengeance on Spider-Man, falsely believing it was the superhero who caused her death, not realizing that the Green Goblin had the motives to kill her. Gwen's
death drove Warren into depression and despair, which drove him further
into insanity as a mad geneticist who eventually became the Jackal.
Miles also had a brother named Raymond, who was a science teacher at
Peter Parker's high school and introduced Peter to Miles.
Origin of the Jackal
The day after the death of Gwen Stacy, Warren's lab assistant,
Anthony Serba, revealed that he had successfully cloned a frog using
their Research technology. Warren secretly gave Serba tissue samples of
Gwen Stacy and Peter Parker, stating to Serba these were only rat cells.
Sometime later, Serba confronts Warren, stating that the tissue samples
he was asked to clone were indeed human and that they must be destroyed
immediately. Panicking, Warren attempts to cover Serba's mouth to shut
him up, accidentally suffocating him. Unable to accept responsibility
for his action, Warren resorts to his alter ego dubbing himself "The
Jackal", which he took after overhearing a professor describing a jackal
as a "cowardly predator". This also was something Warren further
develops his alter ego by fashioning a green suit and training himself
athletically. It was later revealed that Kaine was the first successful attempt at
cloning Peter Parker, despite suffering from a slow cloning degeneration
and having regenerative abilities to elude death several times.
The Jackal's hatred for Spider-Man manifested by his belief that he
is solely responsible for allowing Gwen Stacy, whom he loved, to die at
the hands of the Green Goblin. He initially harasses Spider-Man numerous
times, setting him up against various other adversaries and
manipulating these Spider-Man foes into his plans. Warren allied himself
with the Punisher
against Spider-Man, but his alliance with the Punisher was quickly
dissolved when it was revealed that Jackal was manipulating him. Jackal's next attempts were to incite a gang war between Hammerhead and Doctor Octopus. Later, the Jackal equipped wrestler Maxwell Markham with the costume and powerful exoskeleton of the Grizzly and sent him to assassinate newspaper publisher J. Jonah Jameson. The Jackal then held Peter Parker hostage in a scheme to trap Spider-Man. Sometime after, he became aware of Spider-Man's identity and set out in his next major agenda.
Meanwhile, his early cloning experiments had a variation of
results—out of his numerous attempts to clone Peter Parker, only one was
a perfect copy of the original. He also created two clones of himself,
one a direct copy, the other a modified clone harboring the Carrion
virus who would surface later. His most prized creation, however, was
what he perceived was a perfect copy of Gwen Stacy. Realizing the end of
his plan was near, the Jackal battled Spider-Man with the assistance of
the original Tarantula. The Jackal beat and drugged Spider-Man unconscious and transported him to Shea Stadium, where he was set to do battle with the perfect Spider-Man clone while holding Daily Bugle reporter Ned Leeds hostage. The two Spider-Men fought, until the Gwen Stacy clone tore off the Jackal's mask and confronted him on his crimes. A subsequent explosion of a bomb the Jackal had placed killed the Jackal and apparently the Spider-Man clone.
Powers and Abilities (Jackal)
After regeneration, Miles Warren had the strength, speed and agility of a
jackal, amplified to super-human levels. Miles Warren was a genius in
the fields of biochemistry, genetics, and cloning, and was a talented
gymnast and martial artist. As revealed in Spider-Island, he is unaffected by the worldwide mind purging (comics) of Spider-Man's identity.
In Other Media (Video Games)
Jackal appears in the PlayStation 2 and PSP versions of Spider-Man: Web of Shadows voiced by Greg Baldwin. He is in alliance with Spencer Smythe and is his double agent when Spider-Man encounters Jackal on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.
After being defeated, Jackal gives Spider-Man a serum that will enhance
his symbiotic suit before he gets away. Jackal later steals the Sonic
Emitter from the top of Fisk Tower and gets away as Spencer Smythe
unleashes Black Cat
on Spider-Man. Spider-Man encounters him in Central Park where he has
made modifications to the Sonic Emitter so that he can control the
symbiotes. Spider-Man defeats him and programs the Sonic Emitter to
destroy the symbiotes.
