History: (Web of Spider-Man I#100) - When the Blood Rose broke on to the grounds of the New Enforcers' base, the Vanisher teleported Tangle, Thermite, Plantman, Eel and Blitz to confront him. Tangle snared Blood Rose with her filaments, but before the other Enforcers could deal with him, Spider-Man arrived on the scene, wearing special armor designed for the battle. Thermite and Tangle boasted that he was unprepared to deal with them because they were new adversaries, but Spider-Man simply observed they were both amateurs, and hit Tangle in the face with a web-club.
When she revived, Tangle wound her filaments around Spider-Man, but he grabbed the filaments and snapped them from her fingertips, causing her to fall unconscious. Spider-Man later turned her over to the police.
SECRET WARS III HAPPEND (Moon Knight IX#23) - The Life Foundation hired the New Enforcers (Blitz, Thermite, Tangle, Eel) to kidnap Venom (Dylan Brock), who ran to the Midnight Mission and Moon Knight for help. The Enforcers rushed into the Mission, which turned out to be the haunted House of Shadows, and Moon Knight and Venom systematically defeated them. Comments: Created by Terry Kavanagh, Alex Saviuk and Joe Rubinstein.
The New Enforcers are working for Hydra in the Sega 32X game Spider-Man: Web Of Fire. I wouldn't bother mentioning established characters' appearances in video games, but I thought it was an interesting place for a second Thermite-616, Blitz and Tangle appearance. It's a pretty awful game, though.--Graham Weaver
