Edward Whelan was genetically altered by Arnim Zola, who was in league with the second Baron Zemo, as part of a failed plot to destroy their mutual foe, Captain America. He later went on to battle the combined forces of Captain America and Spider-Man, the latter of whom needed help from Captain America to defeat him. In order to prove his superiority over his hated foe in the Kraven's Last Hunt story-line, Kraven the Hunter(Who was impersonating Spider-Man in a version of his black costume) went on to personally confront Vermin and single-handedly defeated him. After Spider-Man freed himself from a coffin which Kraven buried six feet under, Kraven released Vermin so Spider-Man would be forced to chase after him in order to prevent him from harming anyone. It was then that Kraven took the opportunity to end his own life. Vermin went on to menace Spider-Man a number of times since being recaptured, as well as frequently being an inmate at theRavencroft Institute for the Criminally Insane .
