History: (Inhumanity:
Superior Spider-Man I#1 (fb) – BTS) – Arthur
Schweibe struggled as he watched his wife Susan dying of cancer. The
city of
Attilan crashed into New York City, scattering technology everywhere,
and some
delicate machines landed on the Schweibe's apartment building. Schweibe
discovered some of the Inhuman tech that would absorb the life force of
others and he
realized he could perhaps save Susan's life by taking the life of
others. Susan
refused so he dosed her with sleeping pills then he put on the tech and
began
redirecting life forces.
(Inhumanity: Superior Spider-Man I#1) – Spider-Man
(Otto
Octavius) and the fire department arrived at the building to
investigate and
Arthur attacked them, draining their life forces as well. Spider-Man,
determining that the Inhuman tech had been developed to strengthen
soldiers on
the battle field by draining the lives of others, realized that Susan
had been
dosed with pills. Lt. Coyle confronted Schweibe, helping him realize he
was
being selfish and not respecting Susan's wishes. After Arthur
surrendered the
tech, Spider-Man shocked him, promising to connect Susan with Dr. Elias
Wirtham
(Cardiac)
for treatment, and by not arresting Arthur, letting him stay with his
wife.
