I’m sure that perhaps to the average person, they’re saying to themselves, who is Pepper Martin and what does that have to do with DC?
Well, besides being a pro wrestler, he has a particularly memorable appearance as the character of Rocky in Superman II. RIP Good Sir.

Sorry Too Hear Pepper Martin Has Passed Away!
Another, Death In the D.C. Universe!
I Think He Made A Great Rocky!
From the end of Superman II:

“Oh, I’ve uh…been working out.”
I didn’t know Mr. Martin had passed away. His DC legacy will always endure in one of the best comic-based sequels there is.
