Venezuelan Man Removes Nose to Look Like Red Skull from Captain America

A Venezuelan man has gone to extraordinary and shocking lengths to look like Red Skull, Captain America's nemesis.

The Daily Mail reports that 37-year-old Henry Damon has had plastic surgery to remove the bottom half of his nose in order to more closely mimic the appearance of Red Skull, who has a deformed nose and face.

Damon has also had a number of facial implants so that he will more closely resemble the distorted facial structure of Red Skull. To complete the look, he has also had his pupils tattooed black and is in the process of tattooing his whole face red so that even his hue will match that of the comic book villain.

Damon is a resident of Caracas and father of two. He now calls himself Red Skull in addition to looking horrifyingly like him. The Mail says that Damon is married but does not mention if Damon's wife approves of the changes to his appearance. It is also unclear what the children think of Damon's new face.

Damon's surgeries were performed by Emilio Gonzalez, who dropped out of medical school. Gonzalez claims that he had Damon undergo a battery of psychological and physical tests before agreeing to and carrying out the operations that dramatically altered Damon's face.

Gonzales regularly gives tattoos and performs extreme body modifications such as those Damon is undergoing. In talking to the Mail, Gonzales said that it can take years for someone on his waiting list to get their surgeries and modifications.
