Fictional team biography
After the fall of the Kingpin, the New Enforcers were one of the groups contesting for control of the remains of his empire. Their main adversary was Spider-Man, but they also contended with Blood Rose, a.k.a. Richard Fisk, son of the Kingpin. The New Enforcers consisted of a hired task-force referred to as the Outer Circle, and a secret Inner Circle who were the actual schemers. The Inner Circle included the Controller, Fixer, Madame Menace, Mentallo, and Mister Fear. The Outer Circle/Field Agents contained such employees as Blitz, Dragon Man, Dreadnought, Eel, Plantman, Tangle, Thermite, the Vanisher, and a different Super-Adaptoid.[1]
The New Enforcers debuted by hiring the Foreigner to assassinate Blood Rose. Blood Rose survived the attack, so the New Enforcers trashed the Foreigner's office to cover their trail.[2] Donning his grey spider-armor, Spider-Man trailed them back to their mansion hideout, where he arrived to find Blood Rose already in battle with the Outer Circle of the New Enforcers. The Outer Circle was defeated and taken away by the police.[1]
The Inner Circle was then shown gloating in secret that the Outer Circle had taken the fall, leaving the Inner Circle to take over the criminal underworld.[3]
