Description

The man known as Ramrod was the foreman of an offshore oil rig where he earned his nickname for being an abusive boss who pushed his men to work harder than was necessary.

Ramrod was crushed when a full barrel of oil either fell or was pushed on top of him from a high platform. Ramrod miraculously survived but ended up comatose in a hospital with most of the bones in his body broken.

When the Titaness Moondragon returned to Earth to stop Thanos she allied herself with attorney Kerwin J. Broderick who convinced her he could help her build an army of superhumans to fight Thanos. He then convinced her Daredevil was one of Thanos’ agents on Earth and had to be killed.

Broderick picked three men they would use Titan technology to augment with super powers including Ramrod. Teleported from his hospital bed Ramrod was rebuilt as a superhumanly strong cyborg.

Ramrod was grateful for his transformation but was horrified that his benefactors expected him to murder anyone that opposed them claiming they were under the influence of Thanos.

Moondragon convinced Ramrod there was a remote-controlled injection device inside his body filled with a lethal poison that she would activate if he failed to obey her orders though this later proved to be false.

Ramrod was sent to San Francisco to retrieve important papers from Natasha Romanov’s apartment which brought him into conflict with Daredevil, Black Widow and a visiting Spider-Man. After a running battle across the rooftops of the city Ramrod panicked and fell off a tall building putting him into another coma.

Ramrod awoke later and teamed up with another Broderick agent called The Black Messiah in an attempt to destroy the city. Moondragon realized Broderick was misleading her and attempted to stop his minions while Broderick himself merged with a superhuman agent he found on Moondragon’s ship called Terrex.

When the battle moved to Golden Gate Park Captain Mar-Vell showed up and split Broderick from Terrex killing them both and ending their rampage.

Ramrod survived the conflict and moved to New York where he auditioned to be a country music singer at the popular honkey tonk Mickey’s Bar but was rejected. Furious over this he vowed revenge on Mickey and his patrons.

Ramrod went to Empire State University and forced a chemist to make him a poison to add to the beer at Mickey’s that would drive anyone who drank it insane which would make their metabolism’s speed up and cause the poison to kill them within an hour of consuming it.

Ramrod waited outside the bar while the singer who was hired in his stead, Lonesome Pinky, sang to the crowd. Realizing Pinky’s singing was the only thing keeping them calm and preventing the poison from killing them Spider-Man convinced Pinky to keep singing while he rushed across town to the university to get the antidote for the poison and bring it back to the bar.

Ramrod savagely attacked Spider-Man when he attempted to enter the bar. The two fought one another until Spider-Man tricked Ramrod into a junkyard and used a crane magnet to immobilize him. Spider-Man then administered the antidote to the patrons and saved them before Pinky’s voice gave out.

Later Ramrod was among the army of villains influenced by Doctor Doom’s aggression enhancer device to attack the Fantastic Four. In his mania to attack the team Ramrod tripped, fell and knocked himself unconscious leading to him being arrested.

Ramrod later ended up at the A.I.M. Weapons Expo and fought Captain America, who was disguised as the villain Crossbones, in an exhibition match and he was beaten unconscious.

Since then Ramrod has kept a low profile and became a frequent patron of New York’s various Bar with No Name, a secret drinking establishment for super villains.
