This Man Has Spent £30,000 To Look Like Marvel Super-Villain Red Skull

This Man Has Spent £30,000 To Look Like Marvel Super-Villain Red Skull

Fair enough.

My mate, when he was tiny, wanted to be a squirrel. Now he works as a climbing instructor, so he's close. But he hasn't quite realised his one childhood dream, because it's not possible. As much as our parents tell us we can be whatever we want to be, a lot of the time, that's just bollocks.

However, Henry Rodriguez from Venezuela is hoping to make his dream of becoming the fictional Nazi super-villain Red Skull come true and he's doing a pretty good job, tbf.

The 37-year-old dad has spent £30,000 and 130 hours having implants put into his head, his eyeballs tattooed, a forked tongue, his ears reshaped, and part of his nose cut off. The main question I have here is, why?

Henry said: "Since I was a child, I've always liked what was different, extrovert and I am a comic fanatic and I love the Marvel Universe. I started this project around seven years ago. I wanted to turn myself into this amazing comic character who I've really admired since I was little.

"I feel like there are similarities between this character and I regarding personality and attitude.

"It is important to say that the only thing I don't have in common with him is his Nazi ideology." Yeah, mate, that is quite important to say.

Red Skull first appeared in Marvel comics in 1947 as the Nazi enemy of Captain America. He was played by Hugo Weaving in Captain America: The First Avenger.

Before he underwent this extreme makeover, Henry says he had several physical and psychological tests. He also added that his family have accepted him, including his three-year-old son, which is nice.
