"The world has more than its share of troublemakers, tormentors and terrorists! And perhaps not quite enough forces of courage, strength and justice to combat them. But now - a new force against evil is about to make its presence felt. A unique power, embodied in a remarkable character, and dedicated to the defeat of the destroyers. A man thrust accidentally into a dynamic destiny - and who accepts the explosive challenge. For it is he who will defy those destroyers, and make them Beware the Creeper! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

The Creeper has had a number of different origins over the years but originally Jack Ryder, an outspoken television newscaster, became the Creeper when he was powered with a serum given to him by Doctor Vincent Yatz, a scientist being hunted by the mob. The serum gave him enhanced strength and agility, and a second mechanical device allowed him to phase his costume in and out from his surroundings, so he could become the Creeper almost at will. Ryder chose a cackling and maniacal facade to frighten criminals.

The Creeper was created by Steve Ditko with scripter Don Segall and first appeared in Showcase #73 (April 1968) and then went on to star in his own six-issue series, Beware The Creeper.
