Virtually nothing is known of the past of the man known only as Blow-Hard before he joined the underground community of mutants known as the Morlocks who lived in "The Alley", a huge tunnel located beneath Manhattan. Blow-Hard came to be a member of an offshoot of the Morlock community known as the "Tunnelers", who despised the other Morlocks, whom they called "Drain Dwellers".
Seeking to escape the massacre of the Morlock community by the superhuman team of assassins known as the Marauders, the Tunnelers escaped to the surface world. While resting on one of the Hudson River's dilapidated piers, Blow-Hard was shot and killed by a member of the notorious Savage Wolf gang.
