History: (Marvel Two-in-One I#76 (fb) – BTS) – Bodybuilder Iron Jack Baker joined the Circus of Crime as a strong-man.

(Marvel Two-in-One I#76) – The Circus of Crime pilfered riches and belongings from a crowd after Ringmaster hypnotized them but soon, super heroes Thing, Iceman and Goliath attacked, defeating the Circus before the police arrived. During the fight, Iron Jack Baker grabbed a huge weight and tried to attack the Thing but the hero easily grabbed the weight and tossed Iron Jack aside.

Comments: Created by Tom DeFalco, David Michelinie, Jerry Bingham and Chic Stone.

Looks like Thing scared Iron Jack off, as he never showed up with the Circus of Crime again.
