Boomerang has had a long career and has crossed paths with many heroes, the first of which was the Hulk. He eventually went up against Spider-Man in Marvel Team-Up #83-85 working for Viper but made his mark against Spider-Man when he joined the Sinister Syndicate along with several other Spidey villains. The Syndicate were featured in Deadly & Lethal Foes Of Spider-Man after their introduction in Amazing Spider-Man #280 and appeared again in Webspinners #17 & 18 as well as a couple of Spider-Man Annual. Boomerang also flew solo in the Spider-Titles with stand-out appearances in Spectacular Spider-Man #144 & 145, Amazing Spider-Man #345, and others. It's when Boomerang is working with others that he is at his deadliest though. Most recently he has appeared in the limited series Lifelines working for Hammerhead.
