History

The Ox was a member of the criminal gang known as the Enforcers, although he was very strong he was never particularly bright. While under the employ of the Big Man, Ox was involved in one of many clashes with Spider-Man. The Enforcers continued to be hired by various crime bosses vying for power of the New York crime scene, including the Green Goblin. The Ox also worked with Mr. Fear with the Eel against Daredevil.

While breaking out of prison with his cell make Karl Stragg, Stragg -- a brilliant scientist -- offered to increase the Ox's intelligence. However this was a trick and Stragg instead switched bodies with the Ox, leaving him in a puny body while Stragg rampaged across New York, eventually stopped and killed while fighting Daredevil.

Raymond, now trapped in Stragg's body was arrested and put into prison, and upon his release residual radiation caused him to mutate into a form much like that of his original body. Fighting Daredevil once again, the Ox eventually exploded due to the build up of radiation in his body. Raymond was believed to be dead for some time afterwards, and his brother Ronald took his place as the new Ox for some time.

However, Raymond survived, and was living in the alleys of New York until he was found and revitalized by the Kingpin.
