One was a private investigator, the other a gangster. Both concerned with the costumed crusaders that would interfere with their plans. The answer was simple... don the costume of your favorite eight-legged creature which has a tendency to draw its prey into an intricate web from which it cannot escape. As the Tarantula, each man came equipped with guns and special weaponry.
Frank Lester of Earth-One shot radioactive pellets, Frank Lester of Earth-Two shots real bullets. After striking out solo, they each crossed paths with two established superheroes, Superman and Doctor Mid-Nite. From this occasion, both threatening innocent civilians, Frank shooting Lois Lane to draw the Man of Steel away from his trail, and his counterpart capturing Dr. Charles McNider to draw Doctor Mid-Nite into a trap.
Lester-One had been relentlessly pursuing the Masher Mob in Metropolis, after he was left unemployed, inspired by his son's favorite television superhero. Lester-Two sought to free the Ramey Gang from police custody while
Dr. McNider was tied up by him. Tarantula-One sought to clean up crime from his city’s streets through ruthless means. Tarantula-Two sought to uncover Mid-Mite’s secret identity and McNider. Both men failed when faced with the Caped Crusaders protecting their cities.
