Mosh was called to the offices of Dennis Golembuski, an emerging crime boss, who informed him that a liquor store Mosh had robbed two days prior was under his protection. When Mosh refused to give the money he stole back, Golembuski opted to make an example of him and had one of his enforcers, Madam Rapier, kill him. Rapier sliced Mosh’s eyes out with a katana and then served his genitals and stuffed them in his eye sockets.
Powers and Abilities
Mosh has superhuman strength and claims he can lift 1000 tons, although this isn’t proved. He also claims to have begun developing “night vision” as a side-effect to his exposure to unidentified chemicals.
