History
Peter Porkchops was a steel mill worker operating out of Piggsburgh, Pennsylvania in the parallel reality known as Earth-C. Several years ago in the Earth-One reality, the galactic conqueror known as Starro launched a de-evolving ray towards the planet Earth. The energy beam interacted with a meteor which Superman pushed through a barrier that inadvertently brought him to the Earth-C dimension. The meteor shattered and pieces of it landed across the United Species of America affecting several different individuals. Peter Porkchops was working in the steel mill one day when he was exposed to radiation from a meteor fragment. The exposure gave him superhuman strength, stamina and durability. Calling himself Pig-Iron (after the smelted ore process), he soon joined up with several more similarily affected creatures and became a member of the Zoo Crew.
