Man Cuts Off His Nose to Look Like Marvel Super Villain

How far would you go to look like someone you admire? How about cutting off your nose? Truth is stranger than fiction, because one man has done just that to look like a Marvel super villain: Henry Damon of Venezuela has undergone extreme body modification to look like the arch rival of Captain America, Red Skull.

According to Mail Online, the 37-year-old father "chopped off" his nose, added "subdermal implants to his forehead" and had his face tattooed extensively to achieve the look. Up next, according to his "surgeon," a medical school dropout, are "silicone implants on the cheekbones, chin and cheeks" and a final red tattoo covering his entire face.  Click here to see the shocking photos.

The Marvel super villain Red Skull made his debut in 1947 and next appeared in the Captain America film of 2011.

We hope Mr. Damon doesn't change his mind about his new look, because from all appearances, there's no going back.
