Who is Moondark?

Origin Moondark is a mystic that placed his audience in a trance when they watched his occult magic act along Market Street in San Francisco including Jack Russel and his sister, Lissa Russel . Jack realized his sister and the entire audience was in a trance within minutes into the show when he suddenly felt overwhelmed and overpowered. Jack looked into Moondark's eyes and everything went black. Jack woke up inside Moondark's dressing room and the mystic brought out the Werewolf within. Moondark showed an image of Spider Man in his mystic mists and told the Werewolf to destroy him before he could interfere with his plans. Moondark's swirling smoke was also a portal enabling the Werewolf to instantly travel to Spider Man on the Golden Gate Bridge. The Werewolf attacked the wall-crawler but Spider Man managed to escape when Russel fell into the water.
