He's basically the anti-Tony Stark and a disgruntled blue collar type. He and the other villains in the movie basically salvage tech and scraps from the Avengers' battles to make their own weapons and tools.

USA Today has an extensive look into the mindset of supervillain Vulture, played by Birdman star Michael Keaton. He’s described as an “everyman”, blue-collar worker running a salvage company that cleans up the destruction after superhero battles. In the MCU, “Being a supervillain isn’t necessarily your full-time job,” explains director John Watts, who was discussing his inspiration for villain Adrian Toomes, a.k.a Vulture:
“My whole approach for this movie is that we’ve seen the penthouse level of the (Marvel) universe. We’ve seen what it’s like to be a billionaire inventor and to be a Norse god. We’ve seen the very top of this world. But we’ve never seen what it’s like to be just a regular joe.”
According to co-producer Eirc Hauserman Carroll, this regular joe “has a bone to pick” with none other than Tony Stark after a new government organization founded by Robert Downey Jr.’s character takes over his work. Toomes “sort of becomes the dark Tony Stark,” with Bokeem Woodbine’s Shocker and Michael Chernus’s Tinkerer on his side. They salvage alien artifacts and advanced technology to put together and sell incredible weaponry. This allows John Watts to use the “neat junk from all the other movies,” giving Homecoming a unique way to bind itself to the MCU:
“It’s a really great starting point for the villains to have the Vulture picking over the stuff and finding the valuable exotic elements and having the Tinkerer assemble into something that could be used.”
