The Vulture (real name Adrian Toomes) is a supervillain from Marvel Comics. Sporting a vulture motif based on his namesake, Vulture is an opponent specializing in flight, and has established himself as one of Spider-Man's most notable adversaries.
He makes his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the 2017 film, Spider-Man: Homecoming as the main antagonist, portrayed by Michael Keaton.
Adrian Toomes was a gothic teenager who was experimented on by Doctor Octopus at Oscorp, where he was injected with a serum derived from vulture DNA and got his memories erased, allowing him to transform into a vulture-human hybrid. He was later found by Spider-Man, who declined his offer to join the new warriors. He was then found by Taskmaster and left his team, then once again he joined Doctor Octopus, who gave him Hydra armor. However, in the series finale, both he and Rhino were cured thanks to Spider-Man.
Vulture appears as the main antagonist of the film. Initially a damage repair worker for Damage Control, Adrian Toomes was present in the aftermath of the Chitauri attack on New York. While salvaging the remains of a Leviathan ship, Toomes' was halted from further work by Stark Industries who were assigned to finish the cleanup, despite Toomes' protests that the project was funding his workers' families. Unknown to the Stark representatives, Toomes and his personal crew stashed away some Chitauri technology before the rest was confiscated.
Because of Stark's businesses running out smaller ones like his own, Toomes developed a vendetta against Tony Stark. To carry out his schemes, Toomes used the Chitauri technology to develop a special flight suit and gadgets. With his lackeys, Toomes spent the next four years stealing technology and developing his company further.
