He studied Cloak's abilities and opened a portal to the Darkforce Dimension, but the portal became unstable and changed its destination. Desperate, Ohnn jumped through the portal and ended up in Spotworld, a white void with black spots that act as gateways. He eventually found a portal back to Earth and emerged as a white humanoid covered in black spots, which he could control for transportation. Drunk with power, changed his name to the Spot and fought against Spider-Man, winning their first battle but losing the second. After that, the Spot became a reality warper who often works alone or for crime bosses.
