11/21/2023 0 Comments Swarm queen 2As New York City is invaded by bees, the Scarlet Spider tracked the bees to their destination and - taking advantage of the fact that the swarms' instinctive memory of Raid caused the bees to automatically flinch away from Spider-Man - infiltrated the building to contact the scientists. He forced a group of scientists investigating energy fields to help him not only restore his original field, but expand it to grant him control of every bee on Earth. Eventually, Swarm was tired of waiting and returned to New York, after a psychic wave generated by Onslaught disrupted the psychic field that bonded him and the bees together. Doctor Druid convinced Swarm that mankind will exterminate themselves and the age of insects can begin. Swarm decides mankind should be exterminated so insects can rule the world. Swarm next appears when a Super-Collider from Rand Industries is activated and called his/their attention. Swarm lost his/their skeleton in this battle but returned to fight again (no longer having the skeleton but still possessing von Meyer's consciousness), first teaming with Kraven the Hunter against Iceman and Firestar, then against Spider-Man, but feedback from a weapon fired by the Rhino caused Swarm's bee body to disperse temporarily. In the first of many fights, Spider-Man prevailed against him when the web-slinger's costume was dosed in a new type of insecticide that hurt the bees if they got too close. After being defeated, Swarm resurfaced to battle Spider-Man. His consciousness merged with the hive to the extent that they are one being, calling himself/themselves "Swarm". The bees' unique qualities caused von Meyer's consciousness to be absorbed into them, allowing him to manipulate the hive to do his will while his skeletal remains are inside the swarm itself. Intrigued by their intelligence and passive nature, von Meyer attempted to enslave the queen bee but failed and the bees devoured him, leaving only his skeleton. Escaping capture after World War II, he was a beekeeper or apiarist in South America and discovered a colony of mutated bees. Fictional character biography įritz von Meyer was born in Leipzig, Germany and became one of Adolf Hitler's top scientists specializing in toxicology and melittology. He was created by Bill Mantlo and John Byrne. Swarm first appeared in The Champions #14 (July 1977).
