Despite his lack of super-powers, Foolkiller proved moderately successful in his crusade, even against super-heroes. An encounter with the Defenders ended with Foolkiller completely demolishing their headquarters. (Defenders v1 #75)
Salinger later enrolled in Empire State University. He needed a science credit for his major, and developed a sincere liking for his T.A., Peter Parker, who Salinger felt had a gift for explaining science in a poetic manner. Salinger and Parker soon crossed paths as Foolkiller and Spider-Man, however. While on the run from the web-slinger, Foolkiller hid in an alleyway with a homeless woman. When she heard what was going on, she remarked that "only a fool" would try to fight Spider-Man. Realizing she was right, Salinger almost disintegrated his own head before Spider-Man stopped him. (Amazing Spider-Man v1 #225)
Foolkiller started working together with another vigilante named Yodman. Following Yodman's death during a mission to defeat the Grain Riper, Salinger began experiencing something akin to a midlife crisis, realizing he was no longer young and that could get sidelined or entirely out of comission. Greg started visiting psychologist Andrea Mansoor, who helped him find his vocation of helping people as a volunteer, specifically to help rehabilitate criminals. Inspired by Mansoor, Foolkiller decided to study psychology. (Deadpool v6 #7)
