Photos: Venezuelan man spends over £30K in a bid to look like Red Skull

Henry Rodriguez, a 37yr old dad of one from Venezuela has spent £30K in a bid to look like Marvel villain, Red Skull who is popularly known as Captain America's nemesis. Images show his transformation as he first gets his eyes tattooed black, has implants inserted into his head and then undergoes a painful operation to have part of his nose removed.

Despite his scary appearance, Henry who now calls himself Red Skull insists he is still a loving husband and dad to three-year-old son, Aaron and family photos show that this is very much the case. Pictures show Henry taking Aaron out for meals, carrying him on his shoulders and reading to him in bed.

 Speaking of his surgery, Henry’s friend Pablo Hernandez, said:

“He has loved comic books since he was a kid and always dreamed of being Red Skull, but never got round to doing it. “Then he met up with a brilliant surgeon who specialises in extreme body modifications and just knew that this was his opportunity.”
