History
Demolition John used to be a travelling circus strongman whose parade number was to lift a 2,400 lbs bull over his head, However, his income was lousy.

One day the circus got a rare blue tiger. John had previously heard that a corrupt museum director was prepared to pay 2 million yen for such a tiger, so later that night he snuck to the tigers cage, bent the steel bars and snapped the tiger's head. He got busted shortly afterwards and went berserk around the circus until was stopped by two A-Class heroes.
