Blockbuster gives the Marauders their most direct kind of muscle. He is huge, powerful and quite willing to use that strength against someone who is already hurt. His introduction in X-Factor #10 places him in the attack on the Morlocks, and he is part of the group that leaves Angel trapped in the tunnels. There isn't any attempt to make this a sporting contest. Warren is trying to protect other people, and the attackers take advantage of every limitation that puts on him. The encounter with Thor in the Massacre crossover gives Blockbuster a bigger opponent without making him any more honorable. When the first attack fails, he comes back. He ambushes Thor while Thor is trying to get Angel and Artie out, and manages to break the Thunder God's arm. That moment needs its context. Thor is suffering from Hela's curse, which has made his bones vulnerable. It isn't a clean demonstration that Blockbuster can casually overpower an uninjured god. What it does show is how dangerous the situation has become for a rescuer carrying other people's lives along with his own. Even Angel tries to intervene despite what has happened to him. Blockbuster keeps attacking, and Thor ultimately kills him with Mjolnir. There is no grand final explanation of who Blockbuster might have been under different circumstances. The scene is about getting the wounded out alive and stopping the person who won't let that happen. He doesn't need the largest place in the history of the X-Men to matter here. For the people stuck in that tunnel, he is the immediate obstacle between them and daylight.
