Menace is a supervillain foe of Spider-Man. His first appearance is in The Amazing Spider-Man #549, which is the start of the second story arc in the Brand New Day overarching storyline that follows the events of One More Day. Preview images of Menace were released in The Amazing Spider-Man #546. He bears a strong resemblance to the Green Goblin and Hobgoblin, especially since he flies on a glider that looks very similar to what they use.
[edit] Fictional character biography
Menace's back-story, including his real name, remains largely unknown, the only thing known is that he's been hunted down by Jackpot since his escape from robbing a bank truck. During her search, she meets Spider-Man and reluctantly takes his help. Menace then attacks a council meeting and kidnaps a council woman, and Spider-Man and Jackpot attack him.
