10 Weird Marvel Heroes You Won't Believe Exist

A difficult and underrated part of any superhero's career is trying to pick a theme. Sure, it's easy for jerks like Spider-Man who can just name themselves after whatever radioactive animal bit them, but it can be a real challenge when your powers don't have an obvious inspiration.

That brings us to Buford Hollis, a mutant born with the power to drive, sail or pilot any vehicle he comes across. With that little to work with, can we really blame him for just giving up and going for a completely unrelated costume of just a giant pig's head?

Yes we can, because it is incredibly silly and again, has absolutely nothing to do with his powers.

Another question arises when you consider his truck, the Big Pig. Did he name it after deciding on the razorback motif or was his entire inspiration for a costume just that rig sounds a bit like pig?

Anyway, since the demand for truck and pig based comics isn't overly high, Razorback hasn't made that many appearances. He first teamed up with Spider-Man to free his sister and then later stole a spaceship to go help Marvel's other truck-themed superhero (because of course we needed two) Ulysses S. Archer, the space-trucker.

I was just a mild-mannered NCTJ accredited journalist until one day I found out the truth... that I could share my nerdy ramblings with people on the internet! It's just like mumbling to myself on the train, but without all the strange looks.
