Grizzly

First Appearance - Amazing Spider-Man #139

by Ross Andru, 1974

The Grizzly attacks the Daily Bugle in an effort to get his revenge on J. Jonah Jameson. During the course of his rampage, he is confronted by Spider-Man. Unable to harm the Grizzly using brute strength and knowing that bystanders were endangered, Spider-Man feigns unconsciousness in order to get the Grizzly to leave, but not before tagging the Grizzly with a Spider-Tracer.

Tracking the Grizzly to some upscale townhouses, Spider-Man approaches the scene as Peter Parker. However, his Spider-Sense doesn't warn him soon enough to avoid a double-team ambush by the Grizzly and the Jackal. The Jackal attaches a booby-trapped homing device on Peter in an effort to learn Spider-Man's secret identity before releasing him, and later Peter is able to deactivate the device.

Finally, the Grizzly returns to his old gym and begins terrorizing his former co-workers and wrestling partners. Spider-Man catches up with the Grizzly with and instead of duking it out directly, Spider-Man beings tearing the Grizzly's outfit off piece by piece until he is able to leave a de-powered and delusionary Max Markham for the police.
