Fictional character biography

The man named Ramrod was a foreman on an offshore oil rig. He was turned into a cyborg by corrupt attorney Kerwin J. Broderick and Moondragon, using the advanced technology of Titan. He was given a steel skeleton and superhuman strength. This steel-skulled mercenary was sent to battle Daredevil, Black Widow, and Spider-Man in San Francisco.[1] He then teamed with Dark Messiah and Terrex in Kerwin J. Broderick's attempt to take over San Francisco.[2] Ramrod later battled Spider-Man again.[3] He was later among the costumed criminals who attacked the Fantastic Four during a Congressional hearing.[4] Ramrod was also defeated in a match by Captain America, impersonating Crossbones, during an AIM weapons show.[5]

He also appeared in Brand New Day as one of the villains in the bar.[6]
