Doctor Benjamin Rabin is a mathematician, who developed a computational system using abstract symbols resembling Mayan glyphs. During the Uayep, a five-day cycle when dimensional barriers were weakened, Rabin used the glyphs to contact a particular Wayep, who besieged Manhattan with a horrendous blizzard as a demonstration of its great power. The Wayep deity promised Rabin the power of a "god-king" if he would provide it with human sacrifices. Rabin's attempt at becoming a "god-king" was foiled by the "amazing"
Spider-Man.
