History: (Fantastic Four I#8)
- When the Puppet Master forced the trustee at State Prison to free the criminals
inside, Rocco took State Prison's Warden Williams hostage while the guards
at the prison attempted to talk him out of it. Rocco taunted the guards,
exclaiming that if they wanted Warden Williams then they could come and get
him. The Fantastic Four soon arrived on the scene and the Human Torch rescued
Warden Williams from right under the nose of Rocco. Rocco then attempted
to shoot his way out of the Prison, but the Thing slammed into the Prison
wall, pushing most of the prisoners back inside. Rocco managed to make it
out but the Thing grabbed him and threw him back into the Prison, causing
him to collide with many of the other prisoners that got pushed back inside.
The Thing then fashioned a cage by bending some of the prison bars that were
broken during the escape and captured Rocco and a group of convicts inside
the cage.
