BUSHMASTER
A self-proclaimed villain, Bushmaster uses any means necessary to climb the Maggia gang's ladder and to manipulate others into doing his dirty work. His lust for power is matched only by his cruelty—from beating up his brother and killing innocents, Bushmaster’s will stop at nothing to get revenge on those who've crossed him.
Professional Criminal
Born in the Caribbean, John McIver and his younger brother Quincy grew up on the street. John was faster and savvier than his brother when it came to escaping trouble, and John often beat Quincy for his failures. He once even killed a shopkeeper.
Years passed and John worked as muscle for Herve Argosy, a gun runner, but when he recruited Quincy on a job, it costed his brother all four limbs after falling into a motorboat propeller. Mocking his brother’s misfortune, John relocated to Europe to run Argosy’s trade under the name Bushmaster.
Mutated Strength
Bushmaster is an experienced streetfighter. When he works for the Maggia, he often employs costumed agents, such as Shades and Comanche, as well as numerous conventional gunmen.
Once Bushmaster received a variant of the Super-soldier Serum treatment, he grew to possess great superhuman strength and durability, greater than that initially possessed by another recipient of the Serum, Luke Cage.
