Griffin was originally Johnny Horton, a small-time criminal who was captured by agents of a secret organization called the Secret Empire and was surgically and genetically transformed into a monstrous beast bearing a similar resemblance to the griffin of mythology. At first, he retained his human intelligence, following orders to attack the X-Men. In prison, he mutated further, giving him a tail and enchanced strength. He broke free and hunted down the surgeon who had changed him. After the surgeon was rescued from him by Spider-Man, Griffin battled Spidey and Beast of the X-Men.
