History:
William Taurens began his criminal career while he was still young, when he was arrested for petty theft. He continued to engage in numerous petty crimes, including grand larceny, arson, manslaughter and assault with a deadly weapon. Taurens was eventually hired by the crime boss known as Mister Klein.
Mister Klein hired Taurens, and a number of other thugs, to kidnap some people to be used as test subjects for a serum that Mister Klein had acquired. The serum was created from the extracted mutated enzymes of bulls. The serum was supposed to increase the strength of anyone injected with it.
Daredevil stopped Taurens from taking a young couple for the experiments. When Taurens reported his failure to Klein, the crime boss forced Taurens to be injected with the serum. The serum reacted strangely with Taurens’ physiology, causing him to turn into a bull-like man.
Taurens blamed Daredevil for his grotesque transformation. He tried to kill Daredevil, but Daredevil was able to defeat him. He has tried several times since then to kill Daredevil, but he has never succeeded.
Recently, he was beaten by the Hulk in a fight.
