History:

(Spidey Super Stories#57/5 (fb) - BTS) - Leap Frog used his frog-themed suit to get into or escape difficult areas so that he could steal valuable art for resale. He targeted an art exhibition organized by J. Jonah Jameson.

(Spidey Super Stories#57/5) - Accompanied by Peter Parker, Jameson discovered the exhibition art had been stolen. Changing secretly into Spider-Man, Parker joined the Avenger called Beast in tracking down the thief and the two discovered his lair and stolen art stash, unaware they were being watched by the villain from the rafters. Leap Frog attacked them, then tried to flee, but further fighting ensued until Spider-Man and Beast successfully stopped him. Spider-Man took photos and left to develop them for the Daily Bugle newspaper. Beast returned the art and took Leap Frog to the police. Parker later showed Jameson the photo of Leap Frog being apprehended.
