Demolition Man (Dennis Dunphy), also known as D-Man, is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
Dennis Dunphy first appeared in The Thing #28 (October, 1985) and was created by Mike Carlin and Ron Wilson. He first appeared as Demolition-Man in Captain America #328 (April 1987).
Dennis Dunphy was born in Lincoln, Nebraska. Dennis became an aspiring athlete who received the strength augmentation treatments offered by Power Broker, Inc. Finding himself too strong now for normal sports, he became a professional wrestler and member of the Unlimited Class Wrestling Federation (UCWF) along with other superheroes and supervillains such as the Beyonder, the Thing, and Screaming Mimi. He refused to throw a fight with the Thing, and was defeated. He was later mentally compelled by the Puppet Master to attack the Thing. Dunphy refused the Power Broker's order to help kill Ms. Marvel. He revealed his addiction to the Power Broker's drug to the Thing, and went through a painful withdrawal when the Power Broker cut off his drug supply.
After the fall of the UCWF, Dunphy became the Demolition Man and teamed up with Captain America to investigate Power Broker, Inc. His costume was intentionally designed so the body of it was a duplicate of Daredevil's first costume, and the hood was a knock-off of Wolverine's. He was successful in rescuing Captain America from Karl Malus and helping Captain America catch him. Dunphy was captured by the Power Broker and subjected to further treatments which augmented his strength further but damaged his heart. While under the influence of the stimulant, he went mad and attacked Captain America. Dunphy suffered a heart attack, his second augmentation was reversed and he was hospitalized. Dunphy took a step back from superhero activity to take over Captain America's hotline.
