![]() ![]() Spider-Man easily defeated him and Fester was sent back to prison. Living in the streets of Forest Hills, Queens, he fought Spider-Man again, blaming him for all his disgraces. Months later Fester started drinking and soon became homeless. However, when the transmitter device malfunctions, the resulting overload of power causes the Meteor Man to seemingly be destroyed in the resulting explosion. This causes him to grow to gigantic size, and give Giant Man and Spider-Man a good fight. Spidey and Giant Man went after him where they have found that he has built a device that channels the powers of stolen meteors into his body. Fester managed to escape, however not before he was tagged with a Spider-Tracer. Giant Manįester attacked the Empire State University Colosseum in order to steal a device on display to boost his powers, attracting the attention of Spider-Man, and Giant Man (Bill Foster) who was giving a lecture at the time. Norton joined Sagittarius' team but they were defeated by the true Defenders and the Defenders for a Day. Sagittarius and Libra form a band of criminals to commit crimes, claiming to be Defenders in order to ruin the group's good name. The Defenders' existence is exposed to the general public when Dollar Bill's documentary airs on television. He survived the fall thanks to his powers of invulnerability, but would spend months in hospital recuperating from his injuries. The Meteor Man again got the best of Spider-Man, but Valkyrie threw her sword, Dragonfang, through his balloon, causing him to plummet to the ground below. The two heroes chased him as he floated away under the power of his balloon. He was opposed by Spider-Man and the Valkyrie, but was able to get away from the antiques store. Later that same day, the Meteor Man robbed an antiques store of a famous statue made from the stone of a meteorite that landed in Russia two hundred years ago. He quickly defeated Spider-Man and dumped him into the East River, warning him to leave him alone. The Meteor Man came across Spider-Man yet again later that week and attacked him for probing into his whereabouts. Fester, now calling himself the Meteor Man, ambushed Spider-Man, nearly sending him plummeting to his death, before using his modified parachute/balloon to escape. Nighthawk warned Spider-Man of his old foe's return, so he went to Fester's old hideout to find clues as to his whereabouts. Richmond walked in on the theft dressed in his alter-ego of Nighthawk, but Fester caught him off-guard and knocked him out, stealing a valuable meteorite specimen that Richmond had purchased from the science museum. He was next seen again in his Looter costume stealing a meteor specimen from the New York City penthouse of Kyle Richmond. Now, however, Fester used his fantastic strength to crash through the prison wall and escape. Fester claimed that he was such a law-abiding citizen before he got his powers that he never thought to break out of prison. Gordon immediately began ostracising Fester, claiming that he was a phony who possessed no real power, because if he did he certainly would have used it to break out of prison. Meteor ManĪfter spending years as a model inmate in the State Penitentiary, Fester was reassigned to Bill Gordon's cell. ![]() After making a narrow escape, he tried again, but was caught once again by Spider-Man. He tried to steal one from a science museum, hoping it had another gas pocket, but was thwarted by Spider-Man. He was actually a very successful thief, until he got worried when the meteor he had ran out of gas. Looterĭeciding on a life of crime, Fester became the Looter. Suddenly a gas was released from the meteor and Norton Fester gained incredible strength. Similarly the bank wasn't interested and he resolved to find out the secrets by just chipping away at the meteor. Unfortunately, when he went to some scientists to help him in his funding, he found that they are more interested in finding new formulas for hair tonic and they told him to try a bank. He believed the meteor would have contained microscopic living matter which would solve the riddle of the universe. A meteor fell to earth in an unnamed region and was found by Norton G. ![]()
