 The original “Schizoid Man” is Chip Martin, a graduate student who suffers from psychological instability and has the power of building and animating solid constructs with his mind. When Spider-man began mutating into the Spider-Lizard, the primal, savage part of his mind took over during a battle with Chip, possibly setting his therapy back indefinitely. It was this action that caused Sen. Martin, Chip’s father, to hate Spider-Man so deeply.Â
His father is Senator Robert Martin, who was once suspected of being the Hobgoblin. Afterwards, Schizoid Man joined Vil-Anon, a twelve-step program dedicated to helping individuals overcome their criminal tendencies.
