Brian Hibbs is the second person to take on the Kangaroo identity. He was first mentioned as an active operative of the crime-organization Corporation opposed by a variety of superheroes including Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Captain America, Hulk and others. Although not from Australia, Hibbs idolized the original Kangaroo, going so far as to spend years studying Frank Oliver's exploits and begin imitating his predecessor's speech and style. Hibbs adopted Oliver's costume and appearance, but decided against confronting Spider-Man. To better prepare himself to avenge his idol, Hibbs secured a job working for the Corporation as one of their agents, based out of Taylor, Mississippi. Hibbs's success against non-costumed adversaries led to his break from the Corporation and his genesis as a menace to costumed enemies. While bounding through New York City and shouting for people to get out of his way, Hibbs was knocked out by a single punch from Spider-Man who swung away literally laughing about the situation.[9]
