Phineas Mason (Earth-6531)

"We could have made some pretty cool stuff with all that alien junk."

- - Phineas Mason to Adrian Toomes

Phineas "Tinkerer" Mason is an expert engineer and mechanic who worked alongside Adrian Toomes at the Toomes Salvage Company before both of them turned to a life of crime. As a master inventor, the Tinkerer provided Toomes, now known as the Vulture, with new technologies and products they could sell in the black market.

Toomes Salvage Company
Following the Battle of New York City during the Second Invasion of Earth, Phineas Mason worked for the Toomes Salvage Company, helping to remove the Parademon technology left scattered through New York City. After cleaning the Grand Central Station alongside Herman Schultz, he found a Parademon Energy Core when their boss, Adrian Toomes, offered them to become rich and start a new business after Anne Marie Hoag, leader of Department of Damage Control, took over their operations. Hiding the alien technology, the three of them would rise to become criminals.
