History
Â
A criminal, Bashby is hired by newspaper publisher Rupert M. Dockery to execute a series of crimes and to always inform the paper before he sets out. Dockery hopes that the exclusive coverage of the crimes will boost sagging sales of the newly acquired Los Angeles Courier. To make things even more spectacular, Dockery provides Bashby with his incredible Grinder suit.Â

Bashby gets things off promisingly enough by robbing an antique coin exhibit. However, his criminal career is “cut short” when he runs afoul of Spider-Woman.
