## Biography

### Battle at the Guggenheim Museum

*"Ooh, let me guess. You were having an espresso in some old-timey, Leonardo da Vinci dimension, then suddenly a portal opened up, and you wound up here. Am I wrong?"
"Yes, that's pretty much it."*
―Spider-Woman to Vulture[src]
Adriano Tumino resided in a Renaissance-inspired universe, where he'd much later enjoy an espresso as the Vulture. But due to a dimensional disruption, he found himself transported to Earth-65, specifically within the confines of New York City's Guggenheim Museum. Overwhelmed by the unfamiliar sights and colors of this new reality, the Vulture became disoriented and panicked, resulting in a destructive rampage. This chaos attracted the attention of both local law enforcement and the resident Spider-Woman, each believing the local Vulture was responsible for the havoc.

As Spider-Woman, also known as Gwen Stacy, entered the museum, she confronted the Vulture. A confrontation ensued between them, during which Gwen deduced the circumstances of his interdimensional transfer, prompting the Vulture, whose real name is Adriano Tumino, to reluctantly confirm her assumptions. Throughout the skirmish, Gwen aimed to limit the destruction caused to the museum's artwork, but the Vulture remained uncooperative due to his renaissance-themed villainous identity.

Gwen's efforts received reinforcement with the arrival of Miguel O'Hara, who sought to contain this dimensional anomaly. Despite their combined efforts, they found themselves struggling against the Vulture's might. Consequently, Miguel reached out for further assistance from Jessica Drew. As the battle raged on, the Vulture managed to flee the building.

Aerial combat ensued between the Vulture and Miguel, however, the Vulture's focus was disrupted by the appearance of a police helicopter. During the commotion, Miguel attempted to exploit the situation by removing his mask to bite the Vulture, but their engagement was interrupted by the presence of the police helicopter. This interruption snapped the Vulture out of his trance-like state, prompting him to launch rockets that damaged the helicopter. In a daring effort, the Spider-People managed to save both the helicopter's crew and the pedestrians below from the ensuing crash.

Finally, the Vulture was subdued and detained with appropriate restraints. Miguel then employed a portal to send the Vulture to Earth-928, where he would ostensibly be transported back to his original reality using the Go Home Machine.
