Crucible:Chopper

He had a better home, new friends, and a whole new outlook on life, although he still retained some of a dog's patterns of thought. He decided to give back to the city he loved by fighting crime and injustice. Taking on the identity of a vigilante crimefighter, Chopper took to the streets! In his adventures, he has worked with Omen, Avenger, Overcoat, and other denizens of the New York crimefighting scene.
