While The Prowler has been in comics since the very late 1960's, not much has been done with him until the past few years. As a potential side-kick for Spider-Man, he actually took on the Spider-Man roll for awhile, for no other reason than to let Peter Parker roam free as CEO of Parker Industries. That has not worked out as well as Hobie had hoped, so he's returning to the Prowler mantle soon.
