Fictional character biography
The Grappler became a master of leverage, both in a physical and financial sense, when advised to study leverage as a youth. His attempt to put leverage to criminal use by stealing an armored car filled with gold was halted by She-Hulk.[2]
Later, the Grappler tries to steal courtroom files in order to gain blackmail material. He again confronts She-Hulk. In an attempt to escape, he almost kills her father. The She-Hulk creates a shockwave that stops and stuns him.[3]
The Grappler is approached by the villain Firebrand to meet at the "Bar With No Name" to discuss the Scourge of the Underworld, a person who has been killing villains. The Grappler joins with several other villains at the facility. However, the bartender is the Scourge, who kills everyone.[4]
