From the previous version (originally created by Pav back in June of 2017):

Hello, friends!

One of the things I've been thinking about lately is the depth that Dan Slott has given to the character of the Rhino! It's nice seeing a character whose motivation was always kinda shaky be given some definitive characterization.

And yet, the Rhino's past has kinda been all over the place. He's been super-smart. He's been dumb as a brick.

What's your favorite version of the Rhino? Favorite story? And how do you tie together all the various interpretations we've had over the years?

I look forward to reading your thoughts!

-Pav, who never thought he'd care so much about the Rhino...

Always glad to see an adaption of Rhino that doesn't make him a mutated Rhino-man.

I seem to remember getting a copy of this in my Easter basket one year:

Marvel Tales #30 (April 1971), which reprinted stories from:

* Amazing Spider-Man #58 (March 1968)
* Amazing Spider-Man #41 (October 1966)
* and an 11-page story with The Angel

I actually like him being a mutated Rhino since it ties in with Spider-Man’s other animal hybrid criminals.

huh? him not being mutated ties in to Spider-Man's animal themed rogues gallery ex. Vulture, Kangaroo, Beetle, etc.

I'm more thinking of a metaplot. In a lot of adaptations, animal hybrids all come from the same source. It gives Rhino a literal connection to Spider-Man's other rogues, like in Ultimate Spider-Man.
