History: 
(Spider-Man! in Will Power) - Simon's origin is largely unknown. He encountered Spider-Man after his enslaved followers attempted to kidnap Mary Jane Watson while the two were on vacation in a small town. Spider-Man intervened and using the power of Hostess fruit pies was able to save her and break Simon's spell over the mentally enslaved townsfolk.
(Fin Fang Four Return!#1/5) - He was arrested and later showed up as part of a group of obscure Spider-Man villains in the S-Wing of an unknown prison located somewhere in New York. While playing cards with fellow inmate Demolition Derby, he rambled on about how he once trapped Spider-Man inside an anti-matter bubble. When the robot Elektro attempted to break out, he participated in an attempted mass escape only to be stopped by prison guards using sedation foam putting them to sleep before they even made it to the doors.
Comments: Created by unidentified writer & artist.
In his first appearance he had normal ears while in his Fin Fang Four Returns! appearance his ears were elf-like and pointy. So, what was he, a normal human, mutant, mutate or a quasi-mystic?
I wonder since most of Spider-Man's Hostess villains were imprisoned in the S-Wing of an unknown prison, are there also other prison sections Such as D-Wing for Daredevil and H-Wing for Hulk foes, etc., etc.?
His real name was revealed in Elektro's profile in OHotMU A-Z Update 2010#2.
