History
Vulture's history is identical to that of his Earth-616 counterpart up until Juggernaut was launched into space by Skaar. He began trailing Sandman after the latter teamed up with Juggernaut. Juggernaut noticed that they were being followed, but did not know it was Vulture, nor did he say anything.
After Sandman, Carter Ghazikhanian, and Juggernaut set out to find Cerebra to attempt to resurrect Squidboy, Vulture decided to confront them. Sandman denied that he was a villain any more, and offered Adrian the chance to reform and join them. He refused, and attempted to kidnap Carter. He was opposed by Juggernaut, who defeated him.
Powers and Abilities
Powers
Temporary/Limited Levitation: It has recently been revealed that, due to his prolonged use of the harness, the Vulture can levitate or float his body even without the harness, however at a very slow speed. Like his other abilities, it is probable that this ability too would fade with time away from the harness.
Super-Strength: With the use of his magnetic technology, Toomes can provide himself with super-strength, being able to lift a water tank easily.
Abilities

Paraphernalia
Equipment:
- Electromagnetic Wing Harness: Utilizing his harness the Vulture is able to fly with a natural winged flight limit (95 miles per hour). The anti-graviton generator attached to his flight suit enables him to take to the air by flapping the bird-like wings he wears under his arms. When wearing his electromagnetic harness, the Vulture possesses superhuman strength, vitality and athletic prowess. The harness increases his physical strength to the absolute human maximum enabling him to lift roughly 700 pounds. When he removes the harness his enhanced abilities slowly fade, although the rate at which his abilities fade remains unclear. The harness also (according to some sources) increases his lifespan. The Vulture can reach speeds of up to 95 miles per hour and attain a maximum height of 11,000 feet.
The Vulture has a new version of his flight harness that has supposedly been augmented by the Green Goblin. Though Vulture claimed that it made him several times stronger than his previous version (500% stronger) it appeared to be a bluff to frighten the Black Cat, who proceeded to beat him half to death. Considering she has no real superhuman powers and the severity of the beating she managed to give him it is very unlikely he was being entirely truthful. Vulture's harness also lets him fly virtually soundlessly.
- Wing Projectile Capability: His feathers are as sharp as swords and can be used as projectile weapons. They will replenish themselves so he can maintain flying abilities.
