THE ZODIAC: NEW PICS ADDED!

little is known about the zodiac, but it is believed he is the same zodiac responsible for a series of killings in the late 60's.
never caught, he went from serial killings to become an assassin which is how he came across the cobra organisation.
he was too hard to control & eventually cobra commander decided he was too dangerous to work with & knew too much about the organisation to be left alive so he had him shot. he was fatally wounded, shot in the face by firefly but dr. mindbender brought him back from death. he wears a mask over the lower part of his ruined face & cannot talk.
now he is under cobra commanders control, following his every command & no longer really an assassin, more of a one man hit squad. just point him in the right direction & nothing seems to stop him! he has been shot numerous times & he takes it in his stride when any normal person should not survive.
little is known about the procedures dr. mindbender used in bringing the zodiac back from the dead (if he is infact really "alive) or if the zodiac has any memory of his former self but he still scrawls his infamous logo @ the scenes of his killings.

that guy is so f*cking awesome!
up until the point i posted him zodiac had no name or story, i just made it up on the spot! the 1st one i typed out he was a serial killer version on serpentor, made from the dna of infamous serial killers, would that be better?
im up for new ideas or stories if anyone has a better idea!

yeah, have had enough of 25th, most of the detail isnt in the sculpts, it's all accessories (belts, webbing etc) so i had gotten lazy as far as my painting goes!
