I have noticed that many examples on this page include, as fact, that Toomes was not financially compensated when Damage Control took over his work contract with the city. In re-watching the opening several times, I'm finding that the movie does not fully justify this interpretation.

A good part of the problem is the sudden 8-year TimeSkip that occurs after Toome's decides to keep the Chitauri equipment he had already salvaged. This skips over any potential grievance resolution that may have occurred regarding Toomes' contract with the city.

All we see in the opening is several DOD/Damage Control field agents and one female supervisor showing up at the site Toomes is working on essentially telling them to \"cease and desist\". The scene felt more like an armed crew showing up to insure a \"peaceful\" vacating of the area and not a bunch of bureaucrats ready to negotiate the details of contract compensation.

There\'s certainly no doubt that Toomes and his crew were treated callously and without respect by the DOD/Damage Control team. It\'s my assertion that it\'s this lack of respect/loss of control shown to him as being just \"a little guy\" that is the major cause of his FaceHeelTurn and not the unverified lack of compensation. Although this certainly played a part, I\'m not convinced it was the driving force.
(If someone has WordOfGod or similar confirmation that Toomes was purposefully screwed over regarding re-compensation, I\'d love to hear it)

I wanted to put this out for discussion and if there\'s consensus, I\'d propose updating the examples to focus on Toomes wanting to strike back for the little guy, regain his sense of control, and protect his family\'s future as the main reasons for his becoming the Vulture and engaging in alien-tech gun-running.
