Powers/Abilities: In case he was a werewolf he possessed enhanced human strength, speed, stamina, agility, reflexes, and senses. His claws could rend anything from flesh to cinderblock and even soft metals. He was immune to most forms of conventional injury; though he could be injured or stunned, he healed rapidly (approximately ten times normal) from most assaults. However, assaults involving silver or Hellfire could cause permanent and/or fatal injuries. His skin was also dense enough to withstand a direct hit by the Hellfire shotgun. Unfortunately it could be pierced by a Hellfire-infused dagger and his insides were vulnerable to Hellfire.
Height: 6'6" (by approximation)
Weight: 280 lbs. (by approximation)
Eyes: Yellow
Hair: Reddish-brown
History: (Blaze: Legacy of Blood#1 (fb) - BTS) - The monstrous monstrosity tracked down Johnny Blaze, slayer of monstrous monsters, to do what no other monster could do before him...kill Johnny Blaze. (Blaze: Legacy of Blood#1) - The crimson-furred monster howled for Blaze outside a bar. Inside the bar a drunken Blaze told the monster to get out of the shadows. Jumping through the bar's window the monster mocked Blaze how easy it was to track him down and promised he would kill Blaze. Blaze was not impressed and shot the monster with the Hellfire shotgun, but it didn't pierce the monster's thick hide. The monster slashed Blaze with his monstrous claws, but Blaze had a claw of his own, actually a knife. Blaze channeled Hellfire through the knife and stabbed the monster in the gut, piercing the monster's hide. The monster dropped to his knees and then was shot by Blaze again. With the shot going through the wound, inflicted by Blaze's knife, the monster was burnt from within, leaving nothing behind except for his skeleton. Comments: Created by Howard Mackie (writer), Ron Wagner (pencils) & Howard Rourke (inks). An unidentified werewolf-like (looks like one, walks like one, growls like one) monster killed off within two pages. At least it showed how hardcore Blaze was at this point.
