Notes

• He's big, big, big.
• And he's red, red, red.
• And that's how he got to earn the name Big Red.
• Big Red is a bit of a mash-up of parts from other character models. His legs from the knees down are from Trailbreaker, while his head is very much Hound's.
• His pose in the Ultimate Pop-Up Universe book is basically a direct match for his pose in the Marvel Comic. The only thing different is the position of his head.
