Grasp had a personal vendetta against Johnny Storm when his son Ted Bannion committed suicide and blamed it on the Human Torch. The Seekers were ultimately defeated by the combined forces of the Human Torch and the mutant Rusty Collins. Spider-Man: Round Robin
Sometime later, they were hired by the Secret Empire to provide reinforcements for Midnight but they were defeated by the combined forces of Spider Man, Night Thrasher, Moon Knight and the Punisher. Powers & Abilities
Grasp's armor provides him the ability of flight and a degree of superhuman strength. His main weapon are his electro-gauntlets which he can shoot from his suit. The electro-gauntlets can clamp onto a victim and hit them with a surge of energy or can grow in size and constrict anyone caught in its clutches. He also uses an electro-net to subdue or strike enemies. ![Grasp and his electro net.](https://comicvine.gamespot.com/a/uploads/original/0/5586/816957-gra2.jpg)
