Marvel Universe .The Locksmith was a lock designer and escape artist who believed that the feats of super-powered beings have overshadowed the achievements of ordinary humans. For this reason, he captured super-powered beings in
San Francisco and imprisoned them within specially designed cells.The mutant
Tick-Tock assisted the Locksmith in capturing various super-heroes and villains and keeping them in the Locksmith's prisons. Among their captives wasTigra , Poltergeist,Angar the Screamer , Flying Tiger, Gypsy Moth,Killer Shrike , Needle, Tatterdemalion, the Werewolf, Daddy Longlegs,Nekra , The Enforcer, Hangman andDansen Macabre .Locksmith and Tick-Tock eventually captured Spider-Woman herself, imprisoning her with their other captives. Tick-Tock used his power to help prevent break-outs, anticipating the prisoners' attempts before they could happen. Spider-Woman had
Tigra insult Poltergeist enough to start a fight, in which they shorted out their specially designed prisons. Spider-Woman then had Gypsy Moth use her powers to swap their costumes. Tick-Tock did not foresee this change. Once placed in Gypsy Moth’s specific prison, Spider-Woman broke free and released everyone else. After everyone was free, Gypsy Moth entangled Locksmith and Tick-Tock in their own clothing, and left them out in the open for the police to find. Locksmith collapsed, having a nervous breakdown.External links
