Maxwell Markham (Earth-7045)


 * This article refers to the Spider-Man villain. For the mutant mercenary, see Theodore Winchester.

Maxwell Markham a.k.a. Grizzly brutal man with a huge ego, who has been living for decades in the shadow of his broken career. He still dreams that he could have been a contender and a star, but everybody has forgotten about him. His attempts at recapturing his glory and fearsomeness are pathetic and desperate, and he’s obviously in need of counselling and therapy to let go of his past. Grizzly is chiefly a hired goon, but will be interested in ways to become more fearsome. Still, beyond power and money, what he wants is to be the champ.

He wants to win back his self-respect by winning fights, or even just by giving a good account of himself as a supervillainous fighter. He seems the see the world as a wrestling ring performance. Grizzly swears like a sailor, and is obviously not that educated. His ability to plan ahead and decide on beneficial strategies is disastrous. He’s also quite determined, and the combination of the two makes him liable to paint himself into a corner by doggedly pursing plans that don’t make sense.

However, years of supervillainy seems to have somewhat done wonders for his personality. By the time of the 2021 Decepticon invasion, Grizzly has become much more calm and amiable, at least in friendly conversation, and seems to have adopted loyalty as one of his virtues. He will dissuade from making deals with his employer's enemies, even after said employment is over with. He's also considerably nicer than he was before, treating his peers & superiors with respect and dignity, even if he still has that old wrestler spark within him. Still comparatively undeducated, though.
