History:
(Spidey Super Stories#6/5) - Angered that the
Electric Studios' Rita the Director was shooting a film about him
fighting Spider-Man, but not using him as an actor, Rhino went to the
dressing room and knocked out the actor playing him, J. Arthur Crank.
Rhino then entered the set, causing destruction while vainly trying to
hit Spider-Man. Realizing it was the real Rhino but unable to
communicate this, Spidey webbed Rhino up but the villain kept creating
havoc. Rita soon identified the brute as the real one and tricked him
into running into a stage prop of giant jelly. Rhino was encased and
trapped in the giant jelly block.
(Spidey
Super Stories#50/2 (fb) - BTS) - Rhino was imprisoned for his rampage. With a reputation for lying, Rhino was
brought to trial, accused of "being bad!" Jennifer Walters (secretly She-Hulk), a lawyer
dedicated to equal justice and due legal process, agreed to represent
him.
(Spidey Super Stories#50/2) - Hiding his guilt and
angered at prosecutor Foggy Nelson, Rhino stormed out of the
courtroom. Walters gave chase and secretly changed into the She-Hulk as
Spider-Man joined the pursuit. Rhino duped She-Hulk into fighting
Spider-Man, but then turned and attacked her and Spidey, refusing any
further trial attendance. The two heroes tricked Rhino and he was
literally knocked out by their teamwork. Later back in court again,
Walters denounced Rhino and he was sent to jail (making front page in
the Daily Bugle newspaper).
Comments: Created by Jean Thomas (writer), Win Mortimer (pencils), Mike Esposito & Tony Mortallaro (inks).
His face is enlarged and distorted beyond usual human proportions, so I'm guessing he's a mutate/mutant.
Height and weight stats are taken from the Earth-616 version (Sytsevich), as they look very much alike.
Yep, he wears a collar with his name in his first appearance.
