Publication history

[edit]

Hippo first appeared in Dark Reign: The Sinister Spider-Man #1 (August 2009), and was created by Brian Reed, Chris Bachalo, and Tim Townsend.

Fictional character biography

[edit]

Hippo is an ordinary zoo hippopotamus named "Mrs. Fluffy Lumpkins" (this was the name given to the hippopotamus despite the fact that it was a male) who was turned into a anthropomorphic form by the High Evolutionary. While Hippo is on a crime spree, his left leg is eaten by Venom, who was masquerading as Spider-Man as a member of the Dark Avengers.[1] After that experience, he joined up with the Redeemers alongside Dementoid, Doctor Everything, Eleven, and General Wolfram in a plan to redeem "Spider-Man".[2]

Hippo is later seen fighting New Avengers members Spider-Man and Ronin. During this appearance, Hippo is shown to have his leg restored, with no explanation as to how he regained it. Both heroes have a hard time taking down Hippo, who is ultimately defeated when Luke Cage falls on him.[3]

Hippo begins attending Super Villains Anonymous meetings at a church, which is also attended by Boomerang, Doctor Bong, Grizzly, Looter, Mirage, and Porcupine.[4] At another meeting, Grizzly and Looter tell Hippo about their run-ins with Spider-Man.[5]

Hippo later appears as a member of the Menagerie alongside Skein, White Rabbit, and a new villain called Panda-Mania. They were on a rampage stealing expensive eggs from an auction until Spider-Man arrives. Hippo throws cars at Spider-Man while claiming that the eggs would "secure his future." He and the Menagerie are defeated by Spider-Man.[6] Hippo and the rest of the Menagerie later reunite to commit a diamond heist, but they are once again defeated by Spider-Man.[7]

During the "Hunted" storyline, Hippo is among the animal-themed superhumans who are captured by Taskmaster and Black Ant for Kraven the Hunter's Great Hunt.[8] He is freed when Kraven has Arcade lower the force field around Central Park.[9]

Powers and abilities

[edit]

As a hippopotamus, Hippo possesses superhuman strength and durability. He is also shown to be very adept in the water.

Reception

In 2020, Comic Book Resources (CBR) ranked Hippo 4th in their "Spider-Man: 10 Weirdest Animal Villains From The Comics That We'd Like To See In The MCU" list.[10]
