Aleksei Sytsevich, commonly known as the Rhino, is a fictional character appearing in Marvel Comics, primarily as an adversary of Spider-Man. He's typically portrayed as a supervillain with immense strength and durability.

Born in Russia, Sytsevich volunteered for an experimental procedure that bonded a super-strong polymer to his skin, resembling rhinoceros hide. This process granted him superhuman strength, speed, and resilience, effectively turning him into a living battering ram.

Originally depicted as a dim-witted brute, Rhino has evolved into a more complex character over the years. While still possessing limited intellect, some storylines have explored his inner turmoil and desire to escape his life as a villain. He's occasionally displayed a degree of honor and loyalty.

The Rhino has been a member of various villainous teams, and his brute strength makes him a formidable opponent for numerous Marvel heroes, not just Spider-Man. His iconic rhino-like appearance and immense power have made him a recognizable and enduring figure in the Marvel Universe.
