History: (Mystery Tales #6, ga) As a publicity stunt for a horror movie "Skull-Face", the film's producer arranged for a skeleton said to be the remains of a demon which had been burned at the stake to be exposed to a steady stream of electricity, allegedly in the hope of reviving it to take part in the production. Unfortunately for them, this actually proved to be successful, and the animated remains slew the producer and the scientist who had revived it before venturing out into the world at large to continue the slaughter.

(What If I #9) Some time later Skull-Face was recruited by the Yellow Claw. Alongside other villains he attempted to kidnap the U.S. President, but was thwarted by a team of heroes assembled by Jimmy Woo. During the battle Skull-Face was smashed to pieces and apparently destroyed.

Comments: There is a far more in depth profile for Skull-Face here. I don't see the point in duplicating the excellent work there, so the above is just a basic run-down on the character.

CLARIFICATIONS: None.
