Max Rocker

Marvel

Max Rocker first appeared in Beauty and the Beast #1 (1984-12), published by Marvel. 13 appearances are indexed across 8 series.

Max Rocker is a mutant member of the Gladiators who has the face, mane, and hooves of a horse, while the rest of his body is human. He was responsible for drugging Dazzler, making her unable to control her powers, so that Flynn could use his power of hypnosis to convince her to join the Gladiators instead of leaving with Beast. It was Flynn's intent to use this group of mutants as part of his plan to take over the throne of Latveria, as he believed was his birthright, but Max Rocker was not keen on his plans. After the defeat of Flynn, Rocker and the other mutants band together to make a version of the Gladiators without death matches. Later, Max Rocker and the Gladiators fight against the New Mutants (who are under the control of Shadow King). Max Rocker's fate past M-Day has yet to be revealed.
