Major Story Arcs

Gang War

The Bumbler had gang territory in Brooklyn when Hammerhead incited a gang war across New York. Bumbler led his new gang, the Buzz Boys, into a fight with the other Brooklyn gang The Ankh-Colytes, led by Frost Pharaoh. Their fight was broken up by Miles Morales, who took out the Buzz Boys.

Trial By Spider

The Bumbler is first seen breaking and entering a building. Miles finds him while webbing around the city and quickly defeats him with extra brutality, though the Bumbler does manage to get a good hit or two in, thanks to the upgrades that 'she' gave him.

His gun later gets into the hands of Misty Knight, who uses it to defeat a similarly upgraded Scorpion.

Retribution

Bumbler is first seen escaping from Miles Morales, Kamala Khan and Shift, as they are attempting to probe information of the whereabouts of Raneen Rashad Aka Rabble. Bumbler swears he knows nothing while flying away shooting his honey rifle at Kamala ruining her new suit. As Miles finally corners Bumbler a unit of unstable drones dispatched from Rabble arrives in attempt to silence Bumbler, permanently. Miles of course sense's this and destroys the drones with the help of Kamala and Shift, saving Bumbler's life in the process.

In the midst of the explosive drones being destroyed Bumbler escapes to the Bar with No Name. Miles attempts to follow him in but gets promptly kicked out due to being underaged and decides to brainstorm. Miles decides to use his uncle the prowler Aaron Davis connections to help find Bumbler in the bar. Prowler enters the bar and sees that Bumbler is working as a barback for a part time gig. Bumbler upon seeing Aaron panics and attempts to escape again only to be caught and cornered by Aaron in alleyway by the bar.

After roughing up Bumbler a bit for information Prowler notices a piece of Rabble tech attached to Bumbler's suit and takes it much to his expense. Prowler after realizing they can track her with this piece of tech ultimately lets Bumbler go as he is no longer "useful". Bumbler is then seen complaining about having to explain how he lost his job already to his partner and fellow villain Vespa.
