Fan Casting Ox in Joe Carnahan's Daredevil: The Man Without Fear

A career criminal, Raymond Bloch was hired muscle for Wilson Fisk, the self-proclaimed Kingpin of Crime, when he was selected by the Kingpin for an experiment in granting superhuman abilities. (It is believed that Bloch was already known as "Ox" to his fellow criminal enforcers even before gaining powers.) To this end, Ox was sent to a secret lab owned by Dr. Karl Malus and subjected to a number of chemical and stem cell growth experiments. Already a large man, Bloch grew about half a foot and nearly a hundred pounds of extra-dense muscle. Determining the process a success, Malus attempted to use the Ox against the Kingpin, an action which drew the attention of the costumed vigilante Daredevil, who convinced Ox he was being used by both and to stop the fighting. Ox was later seen involved in the four-way gang war between the Kingpin, the Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, and the Hammerhead Maggia family, again working for the Kingpin. During this conflict, Ox teamed with Daredevil and Spider-Man against Doc Ock and the Goblin. Because of this aid, and because there were no outstanding warrants on Bloch, the two crimefighters were forced to let him go. Even later, Ox and the costumed mercenary Eel were coerced by the criminal Mister Fear into serving him, which again pitted him against Daredevil. Ox was then arrested and taken to prison. Some months later, he was among the criminals who escaped during the mass breakout led by the Rhino. He was last seen at one of the so-called Bars With No Name, a drinking establishment for superhuman criminals, being approached by the criminal Owl for reasons unknown.
