COMIC HISTORY 1

Jackson Weele was a corrupt businessman who embezzled money from his company. He hired the Rocket Racer to steal documents that could incriminate him. Racer delivered the documents to Weele but withheld the Minerva Document, the most damning piece of evidence, for an additional $10.000 or else he would turn the evidence over to the authorities. Distraught, Weele went to the docks to commit suicide, but was saved at the last second by the Racer, who still demanded full payment. The Racer told Weele that with his Tinkerer-built, jet-powered skateboard, he could continue to hound Weele until he paid up. The mention of the Tinkerer gave Weele an idea. Weele hired the Tinkerer to create for him a weapon powerful enough to take on the Rocket Racer. Inspired by Weele's name, as well as the disparaging nickname the Racer had given him, "Big Wheel," the Tinkerer created a giant, armored monowheel outfitted with machine guns and rocket launchers. Weele ambushed the Rocket Racer while he was in the middle of a fight with Spider-Man. The Racer tired to flee by weaving in and out of traffic but the Big Wheel just crushed all the cars in its path. The Racer skated up the side of a building but, despite its great size, the Big Wheel followed. Spider-Man arrived at that moment to apprehend the Rocket Racer. He managed to get Racer out of the way seconds before the Big Wheel crushed them. Unable to stop in time, the Big Wheel drove off the side of the building and fell into the Hudson River. Jackson Weele and the Big Wheel itself were presumed lost.

COMIC HISTORY 2

Weele survived due to the Big Wheel being watertight, and the fiasco made him realize the error of his ways. He went home to accept the consequences of his actions, and his wife Margaret walked out on him. Jackson went to prison, where he joined a twelve-step program for super villains called Vil-Anon. Step nine of the program involved making amends with those he wronged so he decided to help Spider-Man fight crime. After a failed attempt at capturing Stilt-Man, and a successful, if destructive, attempt at stopping the Shocker from robbing a bank, Spider-Man encouraged Weele to follow a different career path. Weele started performing at monster truck rallies crushing cars and became a spokesperson for Vil-Anon. By the time of the superhuman civil war, Weele had returned to a life of crime.[6] He also joined a black market network that specialized in super-tech. Iron Man became aware of this network during his efforts to thwart one of its clients, Ezekiel Stane.[7] Spider-Man tagged along when Iron Man set out to shut it down. Weele panicked when the heroes came after him, and bursted out of his home on the Big Wheel. The two heroes worked together to stop and arrest him. When Blackout assembled a team to kill both the two Ghost Riders, Johnny Blaze and his brother Daniel Ketch, Big Wheel was one of the super villains hired into the group.[9] Weele was the first to attack the two brothers, and eventually confronted Blaze alone. His Big Wheel was destroyed, and Blaze used the Penance Stare on Jackson to incapacitate him.

COMIC HISTORY 3

Afterward, Big Wheel became one of numerous super villains tricked into the service of Cat. Cat was the founder of a secret and secluded community named Moon's Hollow, a refuge for the maligned and mistreated families of super villains. Under the pretense that their families had been kidnapped, Cat coerced the villains into doing her bidding.[11] Spider-Woman's investigation into the apparent mass kidnappings led her to Big Wheel, who refused to admit he was being coerced and denied any knowledge. Big Wheel was later pulled into another hunt, having been one of numerous super villains hired by a rogue decommissioned Rigellian Recorder to abduct itself from Deadpool and his Mercs for Money, who were providing transport for it as an auctioned item. Jackson fell of a cliff after Foolkiller knocked the Orb off his motorcycle and it crashed into the Big Wheel.[13] He sustained traumatic injuries that left him in a coma. He suddenly woke up after the cosmically-empowered Iron Man temporarily boosted the collective brainpower of the entirety of New York City, due to his mind suddenly developing an idea to solve traffic congestion. Returning to his Big Wheel, Jackson equipped it with laser pulses capable of reprogramming vehicles with a super-computed algorithm that improved their transit. He went on a rampage to enact his plan, but he was stopped by Iron Man and his partner Hellcat, who only realized Jackson was intending to do good after disassembling his wheel. At some point, Weele found work as a security guard at a bar called The Rusty Nail.
