Power Level:
Game system: DC Heroes Role-Playing Game

Context

The Enforcers were early Spider-Man enemies, back in 1964. Though the characters were unremarkable and soon to be dated, featuring during these halcyon days made them a small but recurrent part of the Marvel mythos.

Our Enforcers notes are rough sets of stats that were essentially done during the late 1980s. Overhauling them would be nice, but it means poring over innumerable appearance for a debatable payoff.

Powers and Abilities

Ox is real strong. He was a match for the early Spider-Man. Although Marvel insists that his strength is not superhuman, I don’t buy it for a second. He might be one of those low-powered, low-signature mutant.


History

The Enforcers are a small band of mob, well, enforcers. They each have their own combat method, and have proved a threat even to superhuman adversaries like Spider-Man.

Originally, the group was made up of Fancy Dan, Montana and Ox I. The first Ox died and the others were sent in prison, but they later reformed, along with the brother of the first Ox, Ox II.

Later, when working for the Kingpin, they were joined by Hammer Harrison and Snake Marston.

More recently, another group calling itself the Enforcers has emerged. All of its members are third-rate supercriminals – about the same motley sort as Scourge’s victim.


Description

See illustration.


Personality

Ox II is real strong, but real dumb and slow-witted. He’s a follower.
