Something of a throwaway joke character, Overdrive made a few inconsequential appearances throughout Dan Slott's run on The Amazing Spider-Man.

[1] Overdrive was hired by Mister Negative to steal an artifact from a museum, but was unable to deliver it because of interference from Spider-Man.

When Spider-Man smashed the windshield of Overdrive's car, it revealed dozens of pieces of Spider-Man-related merchandise such as bobble-heads, air-fresheners, and action figures.

Overdrive was then sent by Mister Negative to steal the Sonic Pulse Generator from a laboratory but he failed again when he met Spider-Man once again.

However, the Superior Spider-Man (Doctor Octopus' mind in Peter Parker's body) defeats Overdrive and the rest of the Sinister Six using a power-dampening field.

[8] The new Hijacker that fought Ant-Man and Captain America in Miami claimed that his superpowers were derived from Overdrive's nanites.

[10][11][12][13][14][15] Following Sin-Eater's suicide which caused those that he purged of their sins to regain them, James Beverley encounters Carlie Cooper and reveals that he is considering reforming.
