This reminded me of that storyline where Betty Brant is indoctrinated into a cult, so I went to get scans from that. Then I saw that it was written by Peter David.

Man, I'm disappointed.

Boy, the Spidey comics of that era were mostly not very good. But I never missed an issue. The power of the character's essential appeal, I guess.

It's kinda nice to see a villain who's using remarkable powers for something as petty as stealing wallets without hurting people.

In these days of legend-destroying, mass murdering, city ravaging bad guys I miss villains like this.

Kamala tends to fight guys like this. Granted, not whenever she's on a team or fighting Inhumans, but still.

Kind of like the Circus of Crime.

In general, I've always been a fan of "Bank robber with a gimmick" type villains. And I'm even more of a fan of "doesn't want to kill the hero, just wants to make a quick buck" kind of villains. You don't see that as much anymore. The threat levels just keep escalating.
