A member of the super-hero team the
Avengers published by
Marvel Comics.
Elvin Holiday is the name of the hero Rage. At 13, Elvin was
exposed to toxic waste while hiding from a group of bullies.
Returning to his grandmother's home, Elvin was nursed back to
health. The chemicals caused Elvin to grow in strength and
invulnerability, until he appeared to be a muscular man in
his mid-30's. Encouraged by his grandmother to use his new
found abilities for good, Elvin adopted a costume and name:
Rage.
Elvin attempted to join the Avengers, but his attitude and
actions caused him some difficulty initially. Eventually, he
became a member in good standing, and went on several missions
until it was discovered that he was a minor. His status was
then changed to Avenger-in-training.
Rage eventually joined the team known as the New Warriors.
