Skullslasher

"I've seen many heroes saving the innocents, but they also leave other criminals behind. For me however, I don't appreciate those things happening in the streets. The criminals around don't deserve to live, and the law doesn't give a damn about taking care of the situation. So I decide to step in, make sure that every single bad guy around gets to be eliminated for good. Surely for heroes they save the people and let a criminal live...but that's not who I am. for me...I just take them down for good."

 * He has inspiration and similarities to other characters like Punisher and Red hood since he would have vengeance, tragic moments, and believing that whenever he kill criminals this would solve everything into the right way but of course in a wrong way, even for him since he thinks killing criminals can make the world in peace, but is quite a lie.
 * Whenever The Skullslasher is with Katrine while they fight crime together, it sort of feels between how Punisher and Spiderman work together since you have a pure good hearted superhero who is best friend with a lost soul vigilante anti hero that are always sticking out for each other, and making sure that both of them are in the good way.
