Rhino is a Marvel Super Heroes minifigure that first appears in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. He makes his first physical appearance in the set 76037 Rhino and Sandman Super Villain Team-up. Rhino has a brickbuilt mech suit, similar to his portrayal in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Background[]
Comics[]
As a thug, Aleksei Mikhailovich Sytsevich was a hire worker, until he was tested for an experiment that bonded a super-strong skin to his body. This skin gave him super strength and speed. He was primarily an enemy of Spider-Man.
In Ultimate Spider-Man[]
Alex O'Hirn was a normal kid going to Peter Parker/Spider-Man's school, who was tired of being bullied every day by Flash Thompson. Eventually, he stole a rhino serum made by Doctor Octopus and became Rhino.
In his new born appearance, Rhino attacked Flash Thompson at his home, apparently a gas station. Spider-Man fought him and nearly won, and he later becomes a member of the Sinister Six, which also consists of Doctor Octopus, The Lizard, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, and Scorpion (Might have been a one-time-only deal).
In Amazing Spider-Man 2[]
Aleksei Sytsevich was a Russian thug who stole Oscorp plutonium. He was thwarted by Spider-Man, which caused him to seek revenge. He was eventually allowed into the Sinister Six, and was given a large, weaponized rhino mech and terrorized New York. His rhino mech can walk on hind legs and run on all fours.
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes[]
Rhino was one of the villains that escaped Ryker's Island during the breakout.
Mystique (disguised as Magneto) unleashed Rhino on Asteroid M to stall Thing, Captain America, and Storm.

Notes[]
- Robin Atkin Downes, who voices Rhino, repeatedly asked the creators of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes to make him voice Rhino before gaining the part.[source?]
- He has the same head as a Clone Trooper.
- Despite coming from a comic-book inspired set, Rhino's design resembles his appearance in the 2014 film, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, rather than in the comics.
- The classic version of Rhino appears on a newspaper in 76178 Daily Bugle.
