A vicious killer, he apparently died trying to prove himself against the wrong man (or god), the Mighty Thor. History: Michael Baer was an expatriate American in Europe who, while in his teens, opposed testifying against a fellow criminal. He picked up a radical political philosophy, worked as muscle for Street gangs in Germany, and eventually joined a terrorist group called the Fist of Victory. The rest of the group was killed by police, and Baer was recruited into the Marauders. Blockbuster assisted in their operations, holding the Angel while Harpoon impaled his wings, which resulted in their amputation. Later, when Blockbuster attacked Thor by surprise, the enraged Thunder God responded by hitting Baer in the face with Mjolnir, and Blockbuster appeared to die. |
