Roughhouse and Bloodscream!?

[bosshog7169]

I am a big Wolverine fan and these villains might have been my favorites growing up. I think they first appeared in Wolverine #6 and periodically thereafter. I haven't seen much of roughhouse at all since that issue, and the last time i saw Bloodscream was back in Wolverine #80-something. Roughhouse was a big strong guy with a beard, and Bloodscream was a really nasty vampire dude with a gaint gaping mouth filled with razorsharp fangs. They always laid a good smack down on Wolverine. Does anybody else remember them and know what happened to them? (side note: I might as well ask about Albert and Elsie Dee now too while I'm on the subject of obscure wolverine characters. And Silver Fox too. Any information of any of these old characters would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Spider-Man foe Black Tarantula hired RH and BS to do some work for him sometime in the nineties but I'm not sure where they went after that.

If I remember right their both dead now. I remember RH dying, then I heard later they finally killed BS off using some alien weapon/metal something or other.

I liked Roughhouse. They could have made him a mutant with bear powers or something since they never revealed the source of what he could do. He also turned good when Wolvie saved him from a twisted experiment. The guy could be a great addition to the X-Men IMO.

Last I saw of Elsie Dee was in the future with a Wolverine and Forge that broke away from the standard timeline after the Adversary battle. She was found in a box with only her head intact, but Wolverine apparently had a new body and dress ready for her. The last I saw of Silver Fox was when she was swallowed/killed off by Psi-Borg back in issue 64.

I thought I heard from somewhere he bore closer ties to the gods, such as the Asgardians, etc.? He was considered good when he teamed up with Wolverine during the incident of the Spores in Central America and which he later became Sister Salvation's lackey. But after that incident, in a much later Wolverine issue he is again seen teamed up with Bloodscream for "bad" reasons, which I never understood [the transition back].

It was stated in most recap pages that he was an Asgardian frost giant.

A Frost Giant? Wow, I didn`t know that. I like him ever more.
