Description
Real Name: Gregory Salinger
Greg Salinger became the second Foolkiller after Richard Rory told him about the first one, Ross G. Everbest. While Everbest focused on "fools" from an extremist Christian perspective, Salinger was more secular. He found that "fools" were people who lacked poetry in their souls. Despite his lack of super-powers, Foolkiller proved moderately successful in his crusade, even against super-heroes. An encounter with the Defenders ended with Foolkiller completely demolishing their headquarters. Salinger later enrolled in Empire State University. He needed a science credit for his major, and developed a sincere liking for his T.A., Peter Parker, who Salinger felt had a gift for explaining science in a poetic manner. Salinger and Parker soon crossed paths as Foolkiller and Spider-Man, however. While on the run from the web-slinger, Foolkiller hid in an alleyway with a homeless woman. When she heard what was going on, she remarked that "only a fool" would try to fight Spider-Man. Realizing she was right, Salinger almost disintegrated his own head before Spider-Man stopped him. Salinger was committed to an institution for his crimes, and slowly overcame his suicidal tendencies, if not his hatred of fools. His doctors encouraged him to express himself, and he began writing about fools to newspapers and television programs. He eventually landed a TV interview from the institution, which led to secret correspondence with Kurt Gerhardt. With Salinger's encouragement, Gerhardt became active as the new Foolkiller. Salinger had limited access to a computer at the institution, and the pair exchanged messages regularly through a private message board.
