Guff
Context
Guff is a mediocre character who appeared once on one page, in a terrible 1973 Iron Man issue (vol. 1 #57, if you must know).
So obviously he gets a writeups.org profile whereas *your* favourite character still has zero coverage. 🙁

Powers and Abilities
Guff is a big brawler. His fists do not feel pain, and are further reinforced by brass knuckles — allowing him to hit like a piledriver. He’s very good at punching people.
His buddy, Mack, is a tough thug with a metal bar.
History
Guff, a legbreaker for hire, was employed by the Mandarin. The Mandarin was then using his “Gene Kahn ” identity. “Kahn” was an union leader who triggered considerable trouble within and without Stark Industries by accusing Stark of being in league with communists.
When Iron Man assaulted “Gene Kahn”, the “union leader” called Guff and his buddy Mack in. Guff punched Iron Man something good, but was taken out with one blow.
All the other thugs and union men then fled, leaving the Mandarin to confront Iron Man alone.
Maybe Guff knows Manslaughter Marsdale, who is much more famous. I mean, relatively speaking.
