I want to rehash my A Puff of Responsibility/Irresponsible origin for Scorpion, just replace Mojo Jojo/Doctor Octopus with Norman Osborn.

Here, Mac Gargan is Peter Parker's biology class partner and Vice-President of the Science Club. He also happens to have a crush on Sally Avril, but is unable to capture her attention due to her relationship with Randy Robertson. He's also bullied extensively by Flash and Kong.

He eventually turns to taking a new type of steroid developed by Oscorp in order to try and impress Sally, stealing some of his dad's money and working his butt off as a copy boy at The Daily Bugle, where he gets yelled at constantly by J. Jonah Jameson, to pay for it.

Eventually, Norman Osborn decides to use Mac in a new super-mercenary experiment. With the Rhino armor proving to be more replicable than the Sandman sub-dermal armor process, Osborn decides to grant Mac a slimmed down and modified version of the Rhino armor, complete with a laser-shooting tail. Mac also becomes a recipient of the same kind of drug that granted Peter Parker his powers, but this time, Mac gains the abilities of that of a scorpion. Osborn then sends Mac to draw out and fight Spider-Man.

Mac sees this as an opportunity to kill 2 birds with 1 stone; get the girl of his dreams and get revenge on everyone who ever tormented him.

He first attacks Midtown High, attacking Flash and Kenny, only to be confronted by Spider-Man. Spider-Man ans Scorpion engage in a vicious brawl, wherein Spider-Man is soundly defeated in the streets outside. However, the mutagen inside Gargan's body begins painfully mutating him, causing him to triple in size and grow to be around 15 feet tall. Gargan then escapes into the sewers before he can unmask Spider-Man.

Spider-Man soon awakens and begins looking for the Scorpion. Meanwhile, Scorpion resurfaces and attacks the Bugle in an effort to get revenge on Jameson. Spider-Man arrives and the 2 resume their fight, which eventually leads right from Jameson's office to the streets below. Scorpion again escapes.

Realizing that being the Scorpion is what finally put the nail in the coffin of his life, Gargan turns his attention to Osborn. Attacking Osborn at his offices, Scorpion is once again confronted by Spider-Man. Their fight leads from the offices to the labs below Oscorp. Scorpion is on the brink of winning before he suddenly collapses due to a heart attack.

It's eventually revealed that the kind of drug Osborn gave Gargan was unstable and poisoned his blood, and that every heartbeat sent the toxin into his heart, which damaged his heart. This, plus the intense adrenaline rush, contributed to the heart attack.

As Gargan is rushed to the hospital, Spider-Man vows to not let Oscorp hurt anymore innocents, whether they be adults or children, and continues protecting New York City.
