Before being thrown out of business by Norman Osborn and Oscorp, Toomes was apparently a hard-working man who supported his family honestly. However, after being thrown out of business, he developed a dislike for the wealthy and privileged, believing that they do not care about the working class. Needing money to support this family, he became a ruthless and calculating man who was willing to commit crimes to do whatever it takes to support his family. Outside of his new criminal career Toomes continues to be an ordinary family man.
Despite his criminal career, Toomes makes it a point not to get his wife involved in any of his business nor does he want her to find out.
