The Hog of Steel


The superhero Wonder Wart-Hog, an 8 foot tall 800 pound humanoid warthog and has been around since 1962.

In his everyday life he is reporter Philbert Desanex whom the Hog of Steel becomes by becomes by squeezing himself into a 5 foot 7 inch Philbert suit, or at least that seems to be the case most of the time. At others they are two separate entities with Wonder Wart-Hog from time to time commenting on Desanex’s life from his stomach.

Whatever the case may be when the need is called for Wonder Wart-Hog either bursts out of Philbert blowing him to bits (he puts the bits back together later) or crawling out of Philbert’s mouth, “wow I feel great, Its like I’ve lost 800 pounds!”

The Hog of Steel then applies universal solution to all of life’s problems… extreme violence.

Wonder Wart-Hog’s only weaknesses are wood, steel and Portland cement, and he’s allergic to strawberry rhubarb, which nullifies his powers if immersed in it.
