History

Wilson Fisk was the Mayor of Timely, who sent Turk Barrett to hang Red Wolf for trying to blow up Roxxon Dam. A boy tipped off Ben Urich regarding the imminent lynching and the intrepid reporter notified Sheriff Steven Rogers, who arrived just in time to save Red Wolf's life, taking him into custody, so that he could stand trial before a judge for the crimes for which he was accused. Back at the jail, Red Wolf explained his motives, and Sheriff Rogers told him he would do his best to assure a fair trial, over the objections of Mayor Fisk. Fisk's men then attempted to kill Anthony Stark, in order to silence his drunken singing, forcing Sheriff Rogers to intervene and save his life as well; however, the encounter had been a distraction to lure Rogers out of the jail while Fisk had sent Turk to kill both he and Red Wolf. Red Wolf managed to disarm him, despite being behind bars though, and shot him dead with his own gun, just like the rest of Fisk's men.[1]

Governor Roxxon then sent in Bullseye, Grizzly, Elektra, and Otto Octavius to help intimidate Judge Nelson into leaving town rather than presiding over Red Wolf's trial; meanwhile, Natasha Barnes confronted Sheriff Rogers for protecting Red Wolf, as she believed the Cheyenne killed her husband, Deputy Barnes; however, Rogers assured her that the Native Americans were framed by Fisk's men for that death.

Fisk's new quartet then ambush them in the streets of Timely, forcing Sheriff Rogers to remove Red Wolf's leg shackles so that he could run for his life. As Rogers engaged Bullseye, Red Wolf grappled with Elektra, before Otto intervened, causing Red Wolf to flee, leaving Sheriff Rogers to fend for himself. Rogers incapacitated Bullseye and killed Otto, as Grizzly and Elektra gave chase to Red Wolf.

The Sheriff dragged Bullseye to the street in front of Mayor Fisk's Office, calling upon the people of Timely to take back their town, but the residents cowered in fear, and Rogers was soon distracted by Grizzly and Elektra cornering Red Wolf. He fired a shot that grazed Grizzly, saving Red Wolf's life; however, it cost him his own, as Bullseye drew a hidden firearm and shot Rogers through the heart. Their attention diverted, Widow Barnes then helped Red Wolf hide, while notifying Bullseye that she had seen him run off.[2]

Following the death of Sheriff Rogers, Red Wolf and Widow Barnes conspire against Mayor Fisk with the help of the apothecary Bruce Banner. Red Wolf infiltrated Mayor Fisk's saloon while Widow Barnes and Bruce Banner headed to Roxxon Dam. He used a rally for women's rights as a distraction in order to get into Mayor Fisk's saloon. When Red Wolf was spotted, he went outside with Mayor Fisk and his enforcers exiting as well. Red Wolf was able to take out Grizzly, Bullseye, and Elektra. Red Wolf was then saved by the inventor, Tony Stark, in battle armor.[3]

Mayor Fisk tried to send people to attack Red Wolf and Tony Stark only for them to be subdued by the pair. Red Wolf then fought Mayor Fisk, but was defeated, though Red Wolf managed to get free from Mayor Fisk's grasp and stab him in the eye with Sheriff Rogers' badge, then point a gun at him. Although Red Wolf hoped to have Mayor Fisk convicted and executed, his plans didn't happen due to the fact that Widow Barnes killed the Mayor instead.[4]
