Who is Bushman?

Brief History Bushman kills Dr. Alraune "You must be bloodthirsty... ruthless to survive in our profession! Fear is the key! You must strike total fear into the hearts of your enemies... and your followers as well! That is why I had my face tattooed into a mask of death! I have become an almost mythical figure of terror!" -- Bushman (Raoul Bushman). Terrorist Raoul Bushman was a former mercenary working in the Sudan along with Marc Spector (later to become Moon Knight). At some point in the past, Bushman had had his face tattooed skull white with some red markings, to instill fear in both his enemies and followers besides his steel teeth.
