Publication history

Described by writer Mike Conroy as "famously one of Spider-Man's dimmest villains",[2] the character debuted in The Amazing Spider-Man #41–43 (Oct.–Dec. 1966) as a thug for hire working for an Eastern Bloc country.[3] He volunteers to participate in an experiment that bonds a super strong polymer to his skin and also augments his strength and speed. Rhino returned in Hulk, vol. 2, #104 (June 1968), and although he apparently dies at the end of the story, the character was revived in Hulk #124 (Feb 1970), becoming a perennial opponent for both Spider-Man and the Hulk.

The character achieved significant exposure in the 1980s and 1990s, appearing in both a solo capacity and as a villain for hire in over a dozen titles. Significant appearances included starring in the limited series Deadly Foes of Spider-Man #1–4 (May–Aug. 1991); the "Flowers for Rhino" storyline in Spider-Man's Tangled Web # 5–6 (Oct.–Nov. 2001), which is told from the character's perspective; and Punisher War Journal vol. 2, #13–15 (Jan.–Mar. 2008), in which Rhino begins to rethink his lifestyle.

Fictional character biography

Aleksei Sytsevich was a thug who worked for Eastern Bloc scientists. The scientists subjected him to a process that gave him an artificial skin covering, which granted him superhuman strength.[4][5] After being empowered, Aleksei Sytsevich rebels against the agents who gave him his powers and destroys their laboratory. He is subsequently hired to kidnap Colonel John Jameson in order to obtain extraterrestrial spores to which Jameson has been exposed during a space mission. Jameson is rescued and Rhino defeated by the superhero Spider-Man. Rhino is imprisoned and kept there with sedation but soon breaks out and continues to try to kidnap Jameson. Spider-Man uses a web imbued with a chemical developed by Curt Connors to melt off his Rhino hide and then knocks him unconscious.[6]

After serving his entire prison term, Rhino is approached by the same scientists, who bombard him with gamma radiation (exposure to which granted the character The Incredible Hulk his super-powers) to increase the Rhino's strength. The scientists also equip him with a more durable, acid-proof suit that "complements" the gamma ray procedure, granting the Rhino even more strength while he wears it. Rhino agrees to find and kidnap Bruce Banner (the Hulk's alter-ego) for his knowledge of gamma radiation; the Rhino then trains to fight the Hulk. However, the Rhino finds himself hopelessly overpowered in the ensuing battle, as the Hulk shrugs off his strongest blows, pummels him to the brink of death, and leaves him in a coma.[7]

The character is brought out of his coma by the Leader months later. The Leader plans to interrupt Banner's wedding to Betty Ross using a ray to transform him into the Hulk and make him kill Ross; he revived Rhino to protect him from the Hulk's inevitable desire for revenge. However, Rhino betrays the Leader by attacking Banner the moment he transforms. Rhino is still unable to harm the seemingly invulnerable Hulk, and he turns on the Leader after the Leader accidentally shoots him. Rhino is caught in the explosion of the Leader's ship and again left in a coma.[8] Leader, who was paralyzed after a previous encounter with Hulk, finds and takes mental control of the still-comatose body of Rhino and attacks Hulk. The battle eventually leads to an alien world, where Leader abandons control of Rhino and flees. Bruce and an unconscious-but-now-recovered Rhino travel back to Earth via a rocket.[9]

Rhino reappears with Abomination, and the pair activate a gamma bomb at the Hulkbuster base in an attempt to destroy Hulk. Jim Wilson deactivates the bomb, and Hulk tricks the villains during combat, forcing them to collide and knock each other unconscious.[10] Rhino reappears as a member of the supervillain team, the Emissaries of Evil (consisting also of Egghead, Solarr and the Cobalt Man), in search of a rare jewel.[11] Opposed by superhero team, the Defenders, Rhino and Solarr initially hold their own until defeated by Doctor Strange, who has been possessed by the jewel and become the Red Rajah.[12] While in hiding, Rhino is found and outwitted by scientist Doc Samson and is eventually defeated.[13]

When Rhino robs a bank and a security guard is accidentally killed, he is humiliated by the Punisher and saved by Spider-Man before being killed. Rhino is then captured by Alyosha Kravinoff (the son of Kraven the Hunter). Kravinoff, who is collecting a zoo of animal-themed superhumans, is defeated by Punisher, with a despondent Rhino and other villains being freed. Feeling remorse from the accidental killing, Rhino sends a letter and money to the security guard's widow.[25] Rhino decides to make amends and repay the Punisher for the previous rescue by aiding him on a case. At the conclusion of the story, Rhino is allowed to leave and is told to "be good",[26] eventually returning to aid the vigilante.[27] Rhino later persuades Punisher to not kill Michael Watts, the third Stilt-Man.[28]

During The Gauntlet storyline, Rhino decides to give up his life of crime entirely. He surrenders to the police and pleads guilty to all charges against him. S.H.I.E.L.D. removes his Rhino costume, and he is sentenced to 25 years in Ryker's Island. The Russian Mafia and other criminal gangs try to recruit him, but he denies them, even going so far as to completely avoid a breakout at one point. For his good behavior and cooperation, he is released early on parole. Upon release, he is met by Doctor Tramma, who wants to re-invent Rhino. Sytsevich declines Doctor Tramma's offer and tries to begin a new life, dating (and eventually marrying) a waitress and residing in a small apartment in Yonkers. Doctor Tramma eventually uses someone else to create a new and improved Rhino. Sytsevich feels he needs to face and kill the new Rhino to get rid of him, but Spider-Man convinces him to promise otherwise and helps Sytsevich keep his new life by defeating the new Rhino.[29] The new Rhino attacks Sytsevich at one of J. Jonah Jameson's press meetings. Feeling he could not break his promise to Spider-Man, Sytsevich lies to the new Rhino, telling him he will agree to fight him in his suit, but he instead goes into hiding with his wife Oksana. Before they arrive at their safehouse, the new Rhino attacks again, and Oksana dies as a result. Sytsevich redons his old Rhino suit and attacks the new Rhino. With one hit, Sytsevich completely destroys the new Rhino's suit. Spider-Man begs Sytsevich to stop, but the grief-stricken Rhino disregards him and kills the new Rhino.[30]

As part of the All-New, All-Different Marvel event as part of the lead-up to the Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy storyline, Rhino resurfaces months later having survived his apparent demise. He has remained in hiding in Tahuexco, Guatemala. A mysterious red-suited man approaches Aleksei and persuades him to do the red-suited man's bidding. Although Rhino was not up to it at first, he takes up the red-suited man's offer when he has a somehow-revived Oksana by his side.[37] The red-suited man later has Rhino spring Lizard and a depowered Electro from Andry Corrections Facility.[38] It is revealed that the revived Oksana is a clone that red-suited man had gathered to grow clones with false memories that span all the way to their deaths. Rhino and the Francine Frye version of Electro assist New U Technologies' security force into stopping Spider-Man only to be defeated.[39] When Jackal's police contact Chief Anderson tells him about where the clone of Gwen Stacy is, Jackal sends Rhino and Electro to Horizon University. When they retrieve the Gwen Stacy clone, she tells them to bring Kaine due to his encounter with the Carrion Virus might help in Jackal's research.

In a prelude to the "Hunted" storyline, Rhino is among the animal-themed characters captured by Taskmaster and Black Ant on Kraven the Hunter's behalf. He is among those who Arcade publicly reveals as the Savage Six.[44]

Powers and abilities

Mutagenic chemical and radiation treatments, including gamma ray bombardment, provides Rhino with superhuman strength, heightened levels of speed and stamina and a high degree of durability. Rhino's superhuman speed allows him to run and/or exercise at high velocities, especially over short distances. He frequently "charges" his opponents in this manner, enabling him to cause great harm to most enemies and the surrounding area. Rhino is notorious, however, for his lack of agility and slow reaction time. This makes it nearly impossible for him to change direction when running at such high speeds and causes him to miss his target and collide with the wrong object.

Rhino's enhanced musculature is much more efficient than that of a normal human and generates considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity. At his peak, he can exert himself physically for up to 24 hours before the build up of fatigue toxins in his blood starts to impair him.

Rhino has some experience in hand-to-hand combat, though he is generally much more of a brawler. Even so, his extreme levels of strength, stamina and resistance to injury make him a formidable opponent regardless of a foe's superior fighting skills.

Rhino possesses a thick polymer mat suit that resembles the physique of a rhinoceros and covers his entire body except for his face. The suit is highly resistant to damage and extreme temperatures, and it is also equipped with two horns, designed to mimic the general shape and function of actual rhinoceros horns, capable of penetrating two-inch plate steel. His first suit, more crude in overall design, was originally bonded to his skin, and he was unable to remove it. This suit was eventually destroyed and a second, removable suit, more form-fitting in its design, was created by Justin Hammer. This suit was given to Rhino after he underwent additional gamma ray treatments that further heightened his powers. The new suit was also designed to enhance some of his powers, using gamma ray treatments. Without the suit, Rhino still possesses great superhuman strength and is highly resistant to conventional physical injury, such as most high-caliber bullets, extreme temperatures and impact forces. While wearing the suit, his strength is slightly increased, while his durability is enhanced to a much more significant degree. The suit also allows him to withstand high-caliber bullets, exposure to temperature extremes of cold and heat without the suit cracking or melting or his own bodily tissues suffering damage, falls from great heights, light anti-tank weaponry, explosive concussions and potent acids without sustaining injury.

While lifting a makeshift dumbbell made out of a pole and two trucks, the second Rhino is called up by a mysterious person telling him where he can find Aleksei. Rhino attacks Aleksei at one of J. Jonah Jameson's press meetings. Aleksei lies to the second Rhino, agreeing to fight him in his suit but instead going into hiding with Oksana.

In other media

Television

  • Rhino made two appearances in the first season of the 1967 Spider-Man animated series, voiced by Ed McNamara. In the episode "Horn of the Rhino", Rhino steals some military equipment to try to make an explosive weapon which Spider-Man is blamed for, but Spider-Man realizes he is hiding in the rhinoceros enclosure of a zoo. Rhino is defeated with pepper and Spider-Man baking some mud with a heating device. In the episode "The Golden Rhino", Rhino steals a shipment of gold in order to make a gold statue of himself, which he succeeds in after stealing more gold, but is captured by Spider-Man's new webbing: instant steel. He later 'returned' in a third-season budget-saving 'mishmash' episode called "Rhino" which uses footage from his other episodes and where he also attempts to make another gold statue of himself, but is again webbed up.
  • Rhino appears several times in Spider-Man: The Animated Series, voiced by Don Stark. While his origin is not detailed in the series, he still retains his abilities from the comics. Here, he is shown as very unintelligent. First appearing in the episode "The Alien Costume" Pt. 1, he is hired by the Kingpin to steal a mineral from John Jameson's space shuttle after crash landing to Earth. Kingpin later sent Rhino to obtain another item where he fights Spider-Man in the black suit. Spider-Man fights the suit's urges to finish off Rhino. In the episode "The Alien Costume" Pt. 3, Spider-Man encounters Rhino on the rooftops and fights him where Rhino commented how he missed the black suit previously wore in their last encounter. Rhino was assisted in battle by Shocker managing to bury Spider-Man in rubble. By the time Spider-Man emerges from the rubble, the web-slinger finds that Rhino and Shocker have been webbed up by Venom. In the episodes "The Insidious Six" and "Battle of the Insidious Six", Rhino later becomes a member of the Insidious Six after he, Doctor Octopus, Chameleon, Mysterio, Scorpion and Shocker are sprung from prison by Kingpin. As in one episode, Spider-Man easily fools him into thinking that he is Chameleon and tricks him into attacking the other Insidious Six members (because of this Rhino unintentionally damages Shocker's electrical suit). In the "Six Forgotten Warriors" episodes, Rhino was brought back together with the Insidious Six with Vulture acting as Mysterio's replacement. When looking for the keys for Red Skull's doomsday device, Rhino attacks Robert Frank and later, when it appears the villains are victorious, boasts he will soon be "the new Duke of Jersey" (in response to which Spider-Man mocks Rhino's lack of ambition). After Kingpin was badly hurt by Electro (Red Skull's son Rheinholdt Kragov), Rhino left with Doctor Octopus, Scorpion, Shocker and Vulture as they are not going to get paid for their services and went back to their own lives.

Although he proves to be one of Spider-man's most physically powerful foes, the costume has a major weakness in that it obstructs his pores. Now only able to perspire through his face, Rhino must periodically stop fighting and drink water, lest he overheat, a weakness Spider-Man utilizes to defeat him. The costume also inhibits his ability to manipulate small objects such as elevator buttons. The character appears as the Rhino in the episodes "The Invisible Hand", "Group Therapy", "Reinforcement", "Accomplices" and "Opening Night".

  • Rhino appears in the Spider-Man 2 video game, voiced by John DiMaggio.[62] This game's version of Rhino has spikes on parts of his costume and claws on his fingers. In the main version of the game, the player briefly engages Rhino in a "boss fight" after he steals a powerful chemical weapon and terrorizes the people on the streets of Manhattan. Serving as the game's first boss, Rhino is easily defeated by Spider-Man and left for the police, whearas the weapon is destroyed during their battle.
    • In the PC version of the game, Rhino is also the first boss, who is fought after escaping from a maximum security prison. The police trap Rhino in an energy cage, which serves as the arena for the fight between him and Spider-Man. Rhino is easily defeated by tricking him to ram into the cage's walls, which electrocute him, but he escapes from the cage, only to ram into a gas station. The explosion knocks Rhino unconscious, but he is rescued from the police by Doctor Octopus, whom he then begins working for. Later, during Doctor Octopus's heist at Oscorp, he dispatches Rhino to fight Spider-Man inside a room with six generators, while he escapes. Rhino is defeated in a manner similar to the first fight, by tricking him to ram into the generators, but this doesn't stop him and he fights Spider-Man again immediately afterwards, in a room with four tubes of liquid nitrogen. Spider-Man is able to release the liquid nitrogen and then escapes the room as it freezes, leaving Rhino completely frozen.
    • In the PlayStation Portable version of the game, Rhino is hired by Doctor Octopus to release Shocker from prison, so that they could then steal together a piece of high tech equipment, but Rhino accidentally releases Mysterio and Vulture as well, who go on with their own plans. After defeating Vulture, Spider-Man learns from him that Rhino and Shocker are at a warehouse at the docks and goes there, where he first fights Rhino alone, before facing both villains at the same time. Spider-Man manages to defeat them by tricking Shocker to attack Rhino with his vibro-shock gauntlets and by tricking Rhino to destroy the platform that Shocker is standing on, which collapses on him, and leaves both of them for the police, not before Shocker reveals to him Doctor Octopus's plan.
  • The Ultimate Marvel version of R.H.I.N.O. appears in the 2005 Ultimate Spider-Man game, voiced by Bob Glouberman. He first appears rampaging through Queens and Spider-Man is forced to chase him and save the civilians he endangers, before eventually cornering him in a parking lot, where the two fight. Spider-Man defeats R.H.I.N.O. by hitting him in a weak spot located on his back and then discovers his pilot to be a short man named Alex O'Hirn, whom Spider-Man leaves for the police. O'Hirn speaks mostly in Latin, appears to be very intelligent, and works for Bolivar Trask, as his company made the R.H.I.N.O. armor; strangely, this makes this version of R.H.I.N.O. the exact opposite of the original version. On the game's web site, it is revealed that the R.H.I.N.O. armor was originally designed to be controlled by a computer, before O'Hirn concluded that his own mind was more powerful than any computer and decided to use the suit for himself.
  • Rhino appears in the touch screen app Spider-Man: Total Mayhem. He is a boss in the level "Rhino - serious rampage". Rhino first appears in level 1, throwing a car at Spider-Man after he has defeated Sandman. Although the game appears to be set in the Ultimate universe, this version of Rhino is shown to be far less intelligent, suggesting that it may be a slightly different universe.
  • Rhino appears as a mini-boss in the video game Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, voiced by Peter Lurie. He is a member of Doctor Doom's Masters of Evil. Rhino and Shocker first appear working with Arcade, before later being tasked with guarding a defeated Heimdall. He has special dialogue with the Thing and Venom. Rhino also appears in the Thing's simulation disk, which takes place on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Omega Base and has the Thing protecting a frozen Mister Fantastic.
  • Rhino appears as a playable character in Spider-Man: Friend or Foe, with John DiMaggio reprising his role.[62] In the game, Rhino is one of the many villains placed under mind control by Mysterio and dispatched to various locations around the globe to guard the meteor shards used by Mysterio to create his army of P.H.A.N.T.O.M.s (a combination of holographic technology and symbiotes). Rhino is sent to the mythical Tangaroa Island and is fought at an ancient temple arena located there. After being defeated and freed from the mind control, Rhino joins Spider-Man for the rest of his quest and, thus, becomes a playable character.
  • Rhino appears in the Spider-Man 3 video game, voiced by Steven Blum.[62] This version of the character does not don a full costume, but rather a large part of his body is scaly and bumpy like that of a rhinoceros, while his helmet resembles that of his traditional costume. Dr. Stillwell, the head scientist of the evil MechaBioCon corportaion, dispatches a mind-controlled Scorpion to release Rhino from a police van (who was defeated by Spider-Man and caught by the police in the Spider-Man 2 game). After being released, Rhino accidentally knocks out Scorpion, who is taken away by MechaBioCon, while Rhino runs off. Witnessing the event, Spider-Man decides to look into MechaBioCon and eventually releases Scorpion from their control. Later, Spider-Man teams up with Scorpion to help him exact revenge on MechaBioCon and the two witness Rhino, whom Stillwell hired to act as her personal bodyguard, kidnapping Dr. Andrews, Scorpion's love interest. When Spider-Man and Scorpion confront Stillwell, she unleashes Rhino to kill them. Spider-Man and Scorpion work together to fight Rhino and eventually manage to defeat him, with Spider-Man tying him up with web lines and dropping several enormous ceiling blocks on top of him, knocking him unconscious.
  • Rhino appears in Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, voiced by Fred Tatasciore.[62] He is imprisoned at Ryker's Island and Spider-Man runs into him while there on a mission to break out the Tinkerer to help with the current symbiote invasion at hand. Spider-Man decides to use Rhino's strength to his advantage and releases him from his cell to help him free the Tinkerer. Rhino proves to be a very useful ally, as Spider-Man needs to get through a large door in order to get to the Tinkerer, which is powered by several generators that only Rhino can destroy; however, Rhino is still very dangerous and will sometimes launch indiscriminate attacks that can hurt both the enemies and Spider-Man. After making their way past the security system and finding the Tinkerer, Spider-Man and Rhino arrive at a lift leading out of Ryker's Island, where the player is given two choices: trick Rhino into returning to his cell, or activate the lift and allow Rhino to escape, so that he could also help deal with the symbiote inavsion. Regardless the choice, Rhino then becomes one of the seven allies in the game that the player can summon him at any time during gameplay to help them fight enemies; unlike the other allies, Spider-Man will manually ride Rhino through the swarms of enemeies.
    • In the game's PlayStation 2 and PSP versions, Rhino is a boss fought at the end of the fourth level, where he was hired to guard Spencer Smythe's and A.I.M.'s secret underground lab. In the previous level, it is also revealed that Kraven the Hunter was hunting Rhino, having placed numerous traps through the subway that Spider-Man needs to get past in order to find the lab.
  • Rhino appears exclusively in the Nintendo DS version of Spider-Man: Edge of Time, voiced again by Fred Tatasciore.[62] Rhino takes Anti-Venom's place as the one who fuses with Walker Sloan and Doctor Octopus to become into the monster Atrocity (voiced by Fred Tatasciore).
  • Rhino appears in The Amazing Spider-Man video game, with Fred Tatasciore reprising his role.[70] This version of the character is a hybrid of a man and a rhinoceros.[71] He was created by a corrupt Oscorp scientist using gene-splicing technology to be sold to a Russian crime syndicate as a living weapon. Alongside the other cross-species creted by Oscorp using Curt Connors' old research, Rhino escapes from Oscorp and begins terrorizing the people of New York. When he wreaks havoc in a parking lot, Spider-Man finds and defeats him, leaving him for the authorities. However, Rhino escapes before the police arrive and returns in a side mission, where he attacks the city's water treatment facility, causing all water in the city to be poisoned. When Spider-Man arrives in the sewers to help fix thet facility, he once again battles Rhino and defeats him by tricking him to ram into some electric wires, which eletrocute him, before throwing him into the facility's main generator, which subdues Rhino for good.
    • He is also featured as a playable character in the Rhino Challenge DLC pack, which sees the players taking the role of Rhino and trying to destroy as many vehicles through the streets of Manhattan as possible, under a time limit.
  • Rhino appears as a boss in Marvel Heroes, voiced by Benjamin Diskin.[62]
  • Rhino appears as a playable character and a boss in Lego Marvel Super Heroes, voiced by Robin Atkin Downes.[72] In the game storyline, Captain America, Storm, and the Thing fight Rhino and Mystique (posing as Magneto) in Savage Land, where Magneto's Asteroid M is about to be launched into space. The heroes defeat Rhino and Mystique, but Magneto manages to launch Asteroid M .
  • Rhino appears as a boss in the mobile version of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 video game, voiced again by Robin Atkin Downes.

  • Rhino appears in Marvel's Spider-Man,[75] voiced again by Fred Tatasciore.[62] This version of the character is a former enforcer for the Russian Mob whose powers come from a massive rhino-themed experimental combat suit, which increases his strength to new levels, but he is unable to remove. As one of Spider-Man's oldest adversaries, Rhino fought him on numerous occasions over the course of the hero's past eight years career; in his character biography, Spider-Man states that Aleksei hates being called "Rhino", and that he needed a couple of weeks to recover after their very first battle, with Rhino destroying several city blocks in the process. At the beginning of the game's storyline, Rhino is imprisoned at the Raft, a maximum security prison designed specifically for super-powered individuals. Later, during a prison break at the Raft caused by Otto Octavius, Rhino escapes and joins his Sinister Six, as Octavius promises to help Rhino remove his armor. After the Sinister Six easily defeat Spider-Man, they split up to attack different properties owned by Oscorp, with Rhino being sent to the docks. Miles Morales accidentally encounters Rhino and Scorpion (who joined forces after Spider-Man foiled the latter) while at the docks, but manages to escape without them noticing, and later Spider-Man arrives to defeat them. After turning them against each other, Spider-Man locks Rhino and Scorpion inside a shipping container, just as the police arrive to take them back into custody.

Also, Rhino points out that he hates his costume, but must wear it because it's what his clients expect.
