Origin
The man known as Boar is a young street thug that nearly runs over Simon Walters during a storm on Yancy Street. The thug crashes his car into a street pole and comes after Simon Walters when he mutates into the Boar. Simon is smacked into the wall and Boar decides to leave the scene before the web-head gets up in his business. Simon recovers and sees the Boar punch an innocent kid who was taking pictures of the entire fiasco. Boar comes after Simon but he evades the attack and transforms into Beta Ray Bill after slamming his fist into the ground. Boar is sent flying towards the sky after one punch and he crashes into Spider Man as he swings by. Boar tells Spider Man that he doesn’t want to fight anymore and Beta Ray Bill is one crazy dude. Boar is tackled by Beta Ray Bill and Spider Man prevents him from smashing his skull in with his mystic hammer. Boar recovers during the distraction but he gets punched out by Beta Ray Bill and Spider Man. Boar is webbed up while the two heroes walk away after the confrontation.
