Role-Playing Notes:
Stone is a rough and ready individual, willing to take on even the toughest job, such as killing Spider-Man, if the price is right. He often becomes irritated at his partner when Styx cannot control his urge to snuff the life of anything he meets. Stone is the leader of this villainous duo, providing direction for Styx's deadly touch.
History:
Virtually nothing has been revealed about Stone's background. At some point in his life, Stone became indebted to his partner, Styx.
Currently, Styx and Stone are a two-man assassination team employed by Jonathon Caesar, a psychotic who has an obsession for Peter Parker's wife, Mary Jane. Caesar once kidnapped her, then hired Styx and Stone to eliminate a troublesome Spider-Man. As Mary Jane Parker and Jonathon Caesar watched the sunset, they saw Spider-Man web-swinging toward them. Caesar called his two new operatives, and Styx and Stone went into action.
Standing on their turbo-hopper, the pair of killers swooped down upon Spider-Man, but the web-slinger's spider-sense warned him, and he dodged a chain fired from Stone's cannons. But Stone was undaunted, and next fired gas pellets and a sonic blast, which brought Spider-Man to the ground in Central Park. Before the web-slinger could get in any good licks, Stone blinded him with a strobe burst.
Meanwhile, Mary Jane escaped from Jonathon Caesar and took his gun. After hitting Spider-Man with his nova beam, Stone captured him with a glob of adhesive gel. Styx was about to touch the mask of a blind and weakened Spider-Man, when Mary Jane opened up with Caesar's automatic pistol. Running from the spray of bullets, Styx and Stone retreated to their turbo-hopper and fled the scene. Caesar was sent to prison, but he has recently been released on parole.
Once again a free man, Caesar has turned his attention from Mary Jane Parker to Spider-Man, wanting revenge for the web-slinger's interference. Again, Caesar hired Styx and Stone to kill Spider-Man.
Styx and Stone caught up with Spider-Man in an abandoned subway tunnel, where the wall-crawler was fighting a desperate battle against Venom. A three-way fight ensued, in which Stone's shoulder cannons were crushed by Venom before Styx's rotting touch apparently killed Venom's symbiotic costume. With Stone weaponless and Styx stunned from the pleasure of his kill, Spider-Man easily captured the duo and turned them over to the authorities. Apparently, Styx and Stone are still in custody.
