Story: David Gorelick was a petty thief, drug dealer and smalltime hood. While trying to steal computers from the government research facility Bio-Tech, he ran into Frank Darling. Trying to escape, Gorelick fell into a vat of chemical that transformed him. He became super-strong and his skin became transparent and toxic so he had to be sealed in a special body armor [4].

Taking the name Skullface, Gorelick joined the Vicious Circle where he soon became one of Overlord's most trusted lieutenants [4]

Skullface died trying to catch Frank Darling of Chicago PD. During the chase Skullface fell on a rig carrying gasoline. The impact opened the tank and Darling threw a lit lighter after him. Skullface was burned to a crisp in the explosion [1-3]
