“Your pitiful display is nothing to my new-found power!”
Emil Blonsky was attempting to steal secrets from a military base when he was hit by a massive dose of gamma radiation that was supposed to destroy the Hulk. An unknown mutation saved him from certain death but turned him into the Abomination, a grotesque and massive creature of immense strength and durability able to rival the Hulk himself. They have fought many times over the years leaving a trail of destruction across the planet.
Dirk Garthwaite was the Wrecker before his defeat at the hands of Thor and his power sealed into a crowbar. In prison, he met Dr. Eliot Franklin, Henry Camp, and Brian Calusky who worked with him to escape and recover the enchanted crowbar. The four men together held the crowbar during a thunderstorm until a bolt of lightning struck and unsealed the power within it. That power was distributed to them, restoring the Wrecker and creating Thunderball, Bulldozer, and Piledriver. The four men are now known as the Wrecking Crew–a team of Super Villains capable of great destruction and mayhem.
