Who is Ricochet?

Origin The first person to wear the jacket and discs of the Ricochet identity was none other than Peter Parker, better known as Spider-Man . At the time, there was a price on the head of Spider-Man, so Peter had to create some new identities to clear his name and fight crime at the same time. One of these was the Ricochet identity, which was designed by his wife Mary Jane . After finding an old leather jacket and shirt, both with a large "R" on them in a second-hand clothes shop, Mary Jane managed to create the Ricochet identity for Peter, which spotlighted his agility. The character also represented the joking, funny side of Peter Parker. Whilst Ricochet, Peter had a role as a sort of anti-hero. After he defeated some of Black Tarantula 's thugs, Peter teamed up with Delilah , an assassin who held a grudge against Black Tarantula. Peter agreed to team up with her because he wanted a bit of revenge against Black Tarantula, who had recently defeated him as Spider-Man.
