History

Manfred Ellsworth Haller was once a promising hydraulic engineer and generous philanthropist. As the founder of Haller Hydraulics, he designed and developed an exoskeleton armor that used his hydraulic technology to gift the user superhuman capabilities. Under the name Man-Elephant, he used the suit to battle and nearly defeat the fugitive She-Hulk in hopes of gaining publicity and endorsements, but ended the fight when she was found innocent.[1]

Years later, Tony Stark discovered Haller was clandestinely supplying unregistered, tech-based heroes with parts and services. Haller Hydraulics was closed and Haller's assets were frozen. Haller fled to Timbuktu, Mali, in search of enlightenment, but instead found an elderly devotee of the Hindu god Ganesha who foresaw his arrival and bestowed upon him the vastly powerful Sy-Torak Gem, which warped Haller's mind and transformed him into the pachyderm-like Behemoth.[2] He returned to the US to seek vengeance upon She-Hulk, but was defeated by her allies the Lady Liberators.[3]
