Grappler is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
Publication history
The Grappler first appeared in Savage She-Hulk #18 (July 1981), and was created by David Anthony Kraft and Mike Vosburg.
Fictional character biography
The Grappler became a master of leverage, both in a physical and financial sense, when advised to study leverage as a youth. His attempt to put leverage to criminal use by stealing an armored car filled with gold was halted by She-Hulk. [2]
Later, the Grappler tries to steal coutroom files in order to gain blackmail material. He again confronts She-Hulk. In an attempt to escape, he almost kills her father. The She-Hulk creates a shockwave that stops and stuns him. [3]
The Grappler is approached by the villain Firebrand to meet at the "Bar With No Name" to discuss the Scourge of the Underworld, a person who has been killing villains. The Grappler joins with several other villains at the facility. However, the bartender is the Scourge, who kills everyone. [4]
Equipment
The Grappler carried a flexible steel rod used as a battle staff, the blunt end of which contained a coil of cable which could be used to entangle an opponent or serve as a cable to be reeled in. He also used a radio-controlled plane for transportation.
