Taserface was a Ravager bounty hunter and a lieutenant in Yondu Ravager Clan. In 2014, following Yondu's exile established by Stakar Ogord, Taserface led an uprising against Yondu for not living up to becoming a Ravager. Taserface, allying with Nebula had Yondu's faction of Ravagers executed, and imprisoned Yondu, Kraglin Obfonteri and Guardians Rocket Raccoon and Groot onto the Eclector. When they made their escape, Taserface was killed but not before he had tipped off the Sovereign, culminating in the Battle on Ego's Planet.
Biography[]
Ravager Mutiny[]
Gaining Support[]
Taserface enacts his rebellious plans
Taserface along with Yondu's faction of Ravagers went to the Iron Lotus to relax. Taserface watched as Stakar Ogord exiled Yondu for breaking the Ravager code. Right as Stakar left, Ayesha arrived to hire Udonta and his faction to hunt down the Guardians of the Galaxy who had stolen Anulax Batteries from them. Udonta took the job.
Meanwhile, Taserface was sitting with Wretch and Kraglin Obfonteri, discussing that Yondu was becoming soft and began planning a mutiny against him.[1]
Attack on Berhert[]
Taserface betrays Yondu Udonta
- "No matter how many times Quill betrays you, you protect him like that none of the rest of us matter. I'm the one what sticks up for you."
"Damn straight lad, he's gone soft. Suppose it's time for a change in leadership." - ―Kraglin Obfonteri and Taserface[src]
The Ravagers managed to track down the Milano to Berhert. After Rocket Raccoon managed to take down many of the Ravagers with his booby traps, Yondu got the upper hand on him with his Yaka Arrow. When Yondu decided to just return the batteries to the Sovereign instead of bringing in Rocket, Taserface turned on Yondu, saying he has gone soft. The Ravagers then turned on each other and were about to engage in a fight when Nebula shot Udonta in the head, destroying his fin and knocking him out.[1]
Escape from the Eclector[]
Taserface celebrates his victory
- "Udonta, I've waited a long time for this...What?"
"Sorry, I'm so sorry, I just keep imagining you waking up in the morning, looking in the mirror and in all seriousness to yourself saying 'You know what would be a really kick-ass name? Taserface!'" - ―Taserface and Rocket Raccoon[src]
Taserface took Udonta, Rocket and Groot to the Eclector to collect the bounty that the Kree Empire had placed on Yondu and then the Sovereign to collect Rocket and Groot's bounty. Any Ravager members that had sided with Udonta were executed by being released into space.
Taserface is mocked by Rocket Raccoon
Udonta, being subdued, watched as Taserface took control of the Ravagers and beat him up. When Rocket heard Taserface's name, he broke out laughing, telling him how ridiculous his name is. Taserface put the three of them into a cell where he told Yondu that he deserves everything that is happening to him as he broke the Ravager code.
Taserface was sleeping in Yondu's quarters when Come a Little Bit Closer, playing from Peter Quill's Walkman started blaring through the loudspeakers. Taserface quickly woke up and realised that Yondu had retrieved his prototype fin. He quickly warned the Ravagers and ordered them to find and kill Yondu and the Guardians. As Taserface was walking through the Eclector's halls, he ducked as Yondu's Yaka Arrow whizzed past him. He then grinned at a security camera while snarling that Yondu had missed when he sees that the arrow had struck a large pile of flammable materials, causing a explosion.[1]
Death[]
- "I'm sending you the coordinates for Yondu's ship! And when you find him, let him know that the name the man who sentenced him to death is: Taserface!"
- ―Taserface to the Sovereign Chambermaid[src]
His body wracked by the explosion, Taserface crawled over to a monitor and called the Sovereign, telling them the coordinates to Yondu and the Guardians of the Galaxy. He told them to inform Yondu that he was the one who tipped off the Sovereign. When he told them his name however, the Sovereign just broke out laughing. Taserface could only listen to the Sovereign laughing at his name. Taserface dies when an explosion breaks out, and destroys the lower half of the Eclector.[1]
Personality[]
Template:Expand
- "Your name is Taserface?"
"That's right."
"So you shoot tasers out of your face?"
"It's metaphorical!" - ―Rocket Raccoon and Taserface[src]
Taserface is a brutal individual, beating Yondu whilst he was restrained and helpless in front of him. He is shown to be quite dumb at times, defending his nickname despite anyone who recognises how ridiculous it really is. He believes highly in the Ravager code, overthrowing Yondu for "going soft".
Abilities[]
- Enhanced Reflexes: Taserface was able to dodge and avoid Yondu's Yaka Arrow, a feat that none of the other Ravagers were able to do.
- Thief: Taserface is a member of the Ravagers, so he is supposedly a highly skilled thief.
