Hollis decided he could use his talents for driving and electronic know-how to help others. Then his sister Bobby Sue became involved with the Legion of Light cult and vanished after going to New York. Deciding to emulate the costumed crime fighters that the news made out to be all over New York State, Buford picked his native regions "hog county" reputation as his costume's theme and became Razorback. Once he reached New York he ran into Spider-Man, who was also investigating the cult, and worked with him to stop the Legion's supposed leader, Brother Power , and defeat the true manipulator Power worked for, the Man-Beast , before he used a hate ray at a televised rally to trigger countrywide rioting.

Later, when fellow trucker Ulysses Solomon Archer travelled into space and vanished, Razorback was recruited by Archer's former girlfriend, Taryn O'Connell , to help her find him.
