Origin: Irving Plotnick, a CPA living in New York, decided to take a hiking trip through the Borgo Pass in Hungary for his birthday. Ever since he was a boy, he longed to see the forests and villiages where his family came from. It was in one such villaige that Irving found out about his family’s curse: every fifth generation, the heir to the Plotnick name would be stricken with the curse of lycanthropy. This would happen in their 26th birthday. Yup, Irving was due.
After Irving was found naked in a barn he was told of his rampage through the villaige. We’ll, it wasn’t really a rampage; more like a night on the town, boozing it up at the local tavern and tipping cows. Seems that he caroused with a couple of the locals and they put him in their barn to sleep it off.
Now, every time he’s under stress he turns into a bear. But the weakening of the curse over centuries and Irving’s habit of watching catoons all the time had an effect on what he became: a big goofy bear with a derby and jeans, going out and having a good time. In addition, he seems to have whatever he needs at hand in his pockets. Hammer dynamite, you name it. Several club owners like to have him around (he’s better than a bouncer) and a few ladies think he’s cute too.
Irving heard about superheroes and now got a hankerin’ to see what they’re about. He got his wish one night when he stumbled upon The Amazing Snipe fighting the minions of Baron Von Wedgie in an alley. Wading in, he was effective-a bit too effective: one lay dying and another is now confined to a wheelchair.
The Snipe took him under his wing, taught him how to fight and instilled in him the notion of Fighting Evil. Now Grizzly Irving, as he’s known, patrolls the streets of the city at night-as long as he can still have a drink, shoot some pool and generally have a good time. Keeps him out of trouble with the police , too. Nothin’ like trying to arrest an eight-foot-tall bear on a D&D…
Appearance: Irving Plotnick looks like a nondescript human male, a bit on the nerdish side. Grizzly Irving looks like a large, upright, somewhat goofy-looking bear with a derby and jeans. He has a stunned look and mumbles, hums and sings to himself.
