Scorpion question

I was reading the Civil War: Chosing Sides one shot the other day and in the New Thunderbolts preview with Venom (Gargan), it heavy implied that Gargan had killed a lot of people.

This got me thinking because I’ve read the majority of his appearances and I can't remember Scorpion ever killing anyone.

So am I right and is this just a continuity error or is Gargan a killer?

As the Scorpion I don't recall an actual killing that he made. But being the typical Marvel "Thug" villain. It's always been implied that he'd have no problem killing someone.

None I can think of. I know he attempted to kill a bunch of people at the end of the Last Stand arc, but Spidey saved all of them. He also thought that he killed Spider-Man in Beyond, but that turned out to be the Space Phantom.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Scorpion start his career as a villain off with a murder? I thought he killed the guy who performed the experiment on him, Dr. Stillwell (Ironic name.).

Scorpion didn't kill him. Stillwell, trying to take away Scorpion's powers before he became too dangerous followed him by climbing up a building. Stillwell lost his grip and fell to his death.

As to Red X's question, his career as Venom is just starting so he hasn't done any killing yet (unless its happened since his tenure on the Thunderbolts).

I think he's killed some guards over time during break outs and some terrorist guys when he was working for Roxxon.

In Civil War: Choosing Sides, Venom kills a bunch of government guards working for the Thunderbolts before joining them.

He knew simply because the Goblin told him who Peter was in MKSM, before he became Venom.

Apparently, Venom killed Typeface in Civil War: Frontline #10 by throwing him in front of a bus. There's our confirmation.

Nope.
Gargan never killed anyone (Not for lack of trying, though.)

He knew that beforehand actually. Norman Osborn told him.
