History: Years ago at a basketball game in Houston, Texas; a meteorite struck the basketball’s team mascot – Choke the Bear during the third quarter of the preseason game against Dallas. The meteorite had an impact on the costume, allowing it to grow to towering heights, standing over 15 floors. Not only had it enhanced it’s height; but gave it proportional strength depending on it’s height, as well as heat vision from it’s eyes. Choke the Bear had vanished after the Basketball game; but returned to Houston, Texas years later when it had heard that Scarlet Spider was in town. It had hoped to squish Scarlet Spider, which it considered a rival; but ended up fighting Scarlet Spider, and Justice of the New Warriors. Scarlet Spider revealed he had heard about Choke the Bear, but no one ever told him much about him. Choke the Bear explained that getting people “revved up” was his job; but soon realized, even at his towering height, with no rival, there was no use; so he had gone to Mexico, to see if he could find a fortune in the International League (and see if he could also find drugs). He saw the arrival of Scarlet Spider in Houston, Texas as a chance to get the people “revved up” again with his dramatic return. However, Scarlet Spider and Justice team up and were able to defeat the destructive Choke the Bear, and discovered that the man who wore the mascot outfit had not been changed by the meteorite strike; only the costume itself had. They destroyed the Choke the Bear costume and left the man for the police to arrest.
