man who underwent extreme facial surgery to look like the Marvel villain Red Skull

Henry Damon not only had facial surgery, but he also underwent subdermal implant operations, tattooed his eyeballs, tattooed his face, and lopped off the tip of his nose.

The 37-year-old hails from Caracas, Venezuela, and despite his taste in extreme body modification, Damon is a loving father and married husband. He says he's dreamed of being Red Skull since he was a young child, stemming from his love of comics and in particular, Captain America. (Red Skull is the Nazi arch-nemesis Captain America, and first appeared following the second World War in 1947.)

Damon admits he “just never got around" to fulfilling his childhood dream, but after meeting med-school dropout Emilio Gonzalez, who specializes in tattooing and extreme body surgery, he knew he had found his opportunity. Gonzalez performed the surgeries, saying that Damon underwent several physical and psychological tests before any needle ever touched his skin.
