When Hammerhead incited a gang war, Agent Gao called in the Cape Killers to keep the peace in Brooklyn. Gust was the newest member of the squad. Frost Pharaoh and The Bumbler were leading gangs against each other, and they have already gotten the attention of Miles Morales. Because Miles was deputized by the mayor, the Cape Killers couldn’t arrest him, so they reluctantly worked with him. After defeating Frost Pharaoh and Bumbler, they turned to the Enforcers and their new leader, The Prowler, who were all upgraded with mysterious new tech.

The Prowler had led the Enforcers into a trap, hoping that Miles and his allies would be able to stop them. He then recruited them all to help him take down Hobgoblin, who was trafficking Beyond Corporation tech to the street gangs of Brooklyn. Gust would sneak into Hobgoblin’ lab with Miles and Kamala, while the others take on the goons securing the building. Unfortunately, Hobgoblin hired Rabble to upgrade his tech. They were nearly overwhelmed but Scorpion managed to convince the goons outside to join the Cape Killers.

In the ensuing fight, Hobgoblin’s cache of explosives are triggered causing a massive explosion. Hobgoblin is assumed dead, and with Brooklyn safe again, Agent Gao reminds Miles that his truce with the Cape Killers is over.
