Maxwell Markham is first introduced as a professional wrestler using the nickname of Grizzly. His overly violent styles of fighting bought him the attention of the ever vigilant J. Jonah Jameson who wrote an article eventually getting Maxwell expelled from the world of professional wrestling. Ten years later, he met with criminal mastermind the Jackal, who gave Grizzly his exoskeleton harness and grizzly bear suit, granting him his super strength. Markham attempted to use the suit to gain vengeance on Jameson, but was defeated by Spider-Man.

After his release from prison, he stole his equipment back and brought it to the Tinkerer for repair. After the repair he used his regained powers to seek vengeance on Spider-Man. During the battle Spider-Man feigns defeat and Grizzly leaves the scene feeling as though his revenge is complete.

Feeling satisfied, Grizzly joins with Gibbon, Spot, and Kangaroo to become the Legion of Losers. Planning only to continue damaging Spider-Man, Grizzly and Gibbon are shocked to see Kangaroo and Spot planning bank robberies. The Legion is successful in a capture of Spider-Man, but later released him as they decided that he is "an all-right guy". Grizzly and Gibbon team up with Spider-Man to assist in bringing the rest of the Legion to justice.

Grizzly continues to attempt to turn his life around. However, his desires for power, and several accidents involving his connections to criminals make his reform incredibly hard. Grizzly would be a captive of Al Kraven, the son of Kraven the Hunter when he began to collect super-humans with animal themed powers and abilities. Kraven would release all his drug induced captives and let them run amok. Grizzly gets into a fight with Man-Bull and snaps off his left horn.

 
Grizzly has recently been recruited by Norman Osborn to join the Thunderbolts. Grizzly's first mission as a Thunderbolt led into a confrontation with the Agents of Atlas.
