Darkhold, until his mother learned the truth and explained this to the titular group. Kornfield grew up off
Broadway in
New York City raised by his mother, with his father having been killed at an unknown time period. He had a very active imagination and idolized all superheroes, even writing letters to as many as he could. After his mother is brutally assaulted and mugged, Brian becomes obsessed with being a superhero so he could find and take down the muggers. Brian was met by the Dwarf (an agent of
Chthon) offering him the power to be like his idol Spider-Man via a page of the
Darkhold. Brian accepted the offer and was transformed into Spider-X. His desire for vengeance was twisted by the
Darkhold's magic and Brian saw himself as the ultimate arbitrator of justice, willing to mete out punishment that no one else would.
