Time to go hog wild. Introduced in Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man #12 (1977) by Archie Goodwin, Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema, Buford Holis was a mutant with the ability to be able to drive any vehicle. Inspired by the heroes of New York, he became a local hero as Razorback. When his sister joined a cult, he went to rescue her and encountered Spider-man, who he teamed up with to defeat Man-Beast. He would later meet fellow trucker Taryn O’Connell, who was searching for US Archer. They stole a NASA spaceship, the Starblazer, and accidentally broke She-Hulk with them. This team would travel across the galaxy, and he would aid She-Hulk defeat Xemnu, who tried to turn people into his own people.

They would return to Earth, where She-Hulk managed to persuade NASA that Razorback was the perfect pilot for them, and they dropped the charges against him. He would begin a relationship with Taryn and renamed the Starblazer the Big Pig 3. He would go to aid Rocket Raccoon and would travel with him for a while. He would return to Earth and would later fight the Human Torch, though he had lost his mutant powers after M-Day. At some point he was abducted and replaced by the Skrulls in their Secret Invasion. This Skrull would join the Initiative, but Razorback was rescued after the invasion failed. He would receive counselling and took the Skrull’s impostor’s place in the Initiative under Tigra’s lead.

Razorback is a very little-known character but was one of theFwoosh’s Robo’s most requested figures. So, it was great when during the SDCC 2022 Hasbro Marvel Panel that the team allowed Robo to reveal the figure to the public. It was part of an Amazon Exclusive Spider-man set.

  • Background:
    • Razorback’s costume is rather simple with a green jumpsuit (that shades have been different for every appearance) with yellow gloves, boots and belt and a big Warthog head.
  •  Why do you need it for your collection?
    • This is an obscure character. You can get it for your Spider-man and She-hulk ally collections. If you have Frogman and Squirrel Girl, you can start making the second version of the Misfits with only 3d Man remaining.
  • Does it need a remake?
    • No.
