|
The transformation of Doug Williams, a hardworking but discontented construction foreman, into the supervillain known as Dozer was both spectacular and terrifying. For years, Doug worked on construction sites, feeling overlooked and underappreciated. He took pride in his physical strength but was often frustrated by the limitations of his job and the people around him. |

The incident that changed his life occurred during a demolition project. A massive, high-performance bulldozer became dislodged from its crane, plummeting toward the ground where Doug was working. Though he tried to get clear, the heavy machinery landed squarely on top of him. Onlookers assumed the worst, but after a tense silence, the bulldozer began to groan and lift. Doug emerged from the rubble, not with fatal injuries, but with a new, incredible sense of power. The traumatic stress of the event triggered a sudden mutation, unlocking his latent abilities of superhuman strength and toughness. |

Initially, Doug tried to return to his normal life, but the world no longer felt like it had a place for him. His resentment and newfound power proved a potent and dangerous combination. He embraced a life of crime, adopting the name 'Dozer' in an ironic nod to the accident that created him. Dozer quickly became known for his brute-force approach to villainy, effortlessly robbing banks and clashing with heroes who stood in his way. He has operated both alone and as muscle for various criminal organizations, with a reputation for loyalty to the highest bidder. |
| Capabilities and Motivations |
|
Dozer can easily lift enormous weights, demolish buildings with his bare hands, and deliver devastating blows. His body is extraordinarily tough and resistant to injury. Standard bullets ricochet off his skin, and he can withstand high-impact explosions and blunt force trauma with little to no damage. The same abilities that grant him immense durability have also made his bones, muscles, and flesh significantly denser and stronger than a normal human's. |

Additionally, Dozer's prize possession is an armored van. It's a real sweet ride, with a supercharged engine. He uses it on jobs, since he has no travel powers of his own. |
