Sneak Peek a close up look @ actor Paul Giamatti, as Marvel Comics' super-villain 'Rhino', on the set of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2".
'Rhino' aka 'Aleksei Mikhailovich Sytsevich' was created by writer Stan Lee and illustrator John Romita, Sr., debuting in Marvel Comics' "The Amazing Spider-Man" #41 (Oct. 1966). According to the origin story, as a thug for hire working for an Eastern Bloc country, Sytsevich volunteered to participate in an experiment...
... bonding a super-strong polymer to his skin.
The bulletproof rhino-like hide, with two horns capable of penetrating plate steel, gave 'The Rhino' resistance to physical injury, explosions, anti-tank fire and temperature extremes.
A second comic book version of the character featured him wearing high-tech armor wielding a battle-axe with blades in the shape of rhinoceros horns.
