Haymaker is a member of an obscure group of villains called the Furious Five alongside teammates Mr. Think, Fumes, Gossip Girl and Badger Teeth. Fumes would run into Spider-Man on Halloween when he tries to escape after a minor heist. One of Fumes' canisters pops in the air and hits Spider-Man in the back of the head. The wall-crawler suffers a concussion as he falls into the alley. A civilian named Rob was dressed as Spider-Man and collapsed nearby in a drunken stupor. Fumes picked up the wrong Spider-Man while Rob's friends take the real Spider-Man back to their apartment. Fumes didn't know what to do so he contacted the rest of the Furious Five. Badger Teeth wanted to kill Spider-Man because it would make the Furious Five the most notorious crew and they would gain respect from their mentors in jail. Some of his teammates didn't want to kill Spider-Man so Badger Teeth became enraged. Haymaker's hands turn into long strands of hay and tries to restrain Badger Teeth while Gossip Girl bites into him. Badger Teeth easily rips through the straw limbs and knocks Haymaker out. Badger Teeth goes after Fumes but he gets knocked out when he gets hit in the face by a metal pipe from Rob, the fake Spider-Man. Haymaker, Badger Teeth and Gossip Girl are laid out when the real Spider-Man shows up.
