A hero published by
Marvel Comics.
Razorback first appeared
in
Peter Parker the Spectacular Spider-Man #13 in 1977.
Buford Hollis was born and raised in Texarkana, Arkansas and
was a trucker for a living. Known for being inventive as well as
unusually strong, Hollis decided to become a super-hero like those
that he had heard of in big cities. Creating a costume that resembled
a wild boar (an animal native to and much loved in Arkansas),
Hollis became the hero, Razorback. Hollis's costume allowed
him to create an electrical shock that would disable his opponents and
he traveled in his 18-wheeler named Big Pig.
When Hollis's sister Bobby Sue became involved with a cult in New York,
Hollis followed to bring her home. He encountered Spider-Man and
the two investigated the cult, finding out that it was controlled
by the villains the Man-Beast and Hate-Monger. The two heroes
broke up the cult and Hollis returned to Arkansas.
Years later, Razorback was involved in a plot to steal a
space shuttle, called the Star Blazer. Razorback was approached by a woman named Taryn
O'Connell, who informed Hollis that he was a mutant with the ability
to operate any vehicle. O'Connell sought to help her friend
Ulysses Solomon Archer, who was best known for his role in the
Marvel series U.S.1. Hollis aided O'Connell and came into conflict
with She-Hulk. The three stopped a plan of the alien villain
Xemnu the Titan to take over the body of the infant child of Archer's
wife. Hollis returned to Earth to face charges, but was given the
shuttle as a gift which he renamed Big Pig II. He and O'Connell
now travel the universe, in search of adventure.
