Taserface first appeared inGuardians of the Galaxy #1 (June 1990), and was created byJim Valentino. Valentino stated that his young son Aaron came up with the character's name. He believed that the name was "kind of lame...but no worse thanPruneface,Clayface,Two-Face, or any other character with the word face as part of their name."[1][2]
Taserface originates from a planet with a primitive culture and wields technology created byIron Man centuries prior.[3] He comes into conflict with the Guardians of the Galaxy and is transformed into a cyborg namedOverkill before being killed in a failed attempt to killWonder Man by self-destructing.[4][5][6]
Taserface appears in media set in theMarvel Cinematic Universe, portrayed byChris Sullivan. This version is a member ofYondu Udonta'sRavagers.[8][9] Additionally, he is depicted as being proud of his name, believing it strikes fear into his enemies despite others mocking it.
Taserface first appears in the live-action filmGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. After being officially named director ofGuardians of the Galaxy,James Gunn, who once called Taserface "the dumbest character of all time," jokingly shared a photo of him on social media. He later clarified that he would never feature the character in a film. Gunn later changed his mind, and while crafting this character, felt that Taserface had named himself. Hence, he described him as "a real dumbass", yet also "a very powerful guy."[10] Discussing the character's look inThe Art of the Film, visual development illustrator Anthony Francisco says, "Taserface was described to me as needing to be very scary-looking, but he wants you to think he is the absolute coolest. I translated this into conceptualizing various things he might wear or add onto his Ravager jumpsuit — things that he thinks are badass or interesting. But ultimately, he is just trying too hard."[11] Feeling that Yondu is "going soft", Taserface leads a mutiny against him and kills anyone still loyal to the former. AfterKraglin aids Yondu, Rocket, andGroot in escaping from their prison cells, Yondu kills the remaining Ravagers and destroys the main engine, causing the Ravager ship to explode. While the four escape in a smaller escape ship, Taserface contacts theSovereign to give them Yondu's coordinates before dying in the explosion.
