## Biography

### Criminal Career

#### Working with Flint Marko

At some point in his life, Carradine became a criminal who went ahead and did petty crimes. During his criminal career, he met and partnered up with another crook by the name of Flint Marko. The pair worked together on small crimes.

#### Robbery at the Wrestling Ring

Following Peter Parker's victory against Bone Saw McGraw, Carradine invaded the wrestling ring, taking all the prize money (which wasn't given to Peter) for himself, and ran off, assaulting the event organiser in the process. Fortunately, Parker was still bitter about not receiving the money, and let him escape. As Carradine ran off into the elevator, he thanked Peter for letting him escape.

#### Murder of Ben Parker

After securing the cash, Carradine ran off, telling Marko to run. However, Marko had a man called Ben Parker at gunpoint, and seeing Carradine startled him, so as a result he accidentally shot Ben, killing him. Carradine then told Marko, to get in Ben's car, but Marko just stood there, shocked at what he had done. As a result, Carradine drove away in Ben's own car.

#### Escape

As he drove off, Carradine was then pursued by the police, who believed him as the killer of Ben Parker. As it spread around, Peter Parker then also believed this, and using his newfound webbing abilities, he swung round the city, attempting to catch the killer. Peter jumped infront of the car, and proceeded to break the front window of the car. Seeing Peter distracted Carradine, and he drove into the gates of abandoned warehouse, breaking them. After this, Carradine hid inside of the warehouse.

#### Confrontation with Peter Parker and Death

After hiding in the warehouse, he then came to his senses that someone else was with him inside the warehouse. As he looked around, he was attacked by Parker, who then hung him against a wall. After getting a better look at Carradine's face, Parker then realised that it was the same man who had escaped. As Parker got distracted, Carradine then pointed a gun at him, only to have his gun thrown away. As Carradine walked back at an apporaching Peter, he tripped over a pipe and fell to his death.

### Legacy

#### False Killer

A few years later, the police found out that Flint Marko was the man responsible for Ben's death and not Carradine. As he was told this, Parker, now the superhero known as Spider-Man, sought vengeance against Marko. However, he learned to get rid of his anger and show forgiveness.

Many years later, Parker then told one of his multiversal counterparts that despite him getting what he wanted, it didn't make him feel happy about it.
