Mr. Skeleton

Mr. Skeleton is a huge, demonic, undead creature standing approximately 20 feet tall, thin, with bone-white skin. It’s hands are giant and claw-like. It charged into a military base and killed soldiers by the dozen. It exhibited normal intelligence, and was probably once human, but it seemed motivated by little more than a lust for death and destruction. At one point, it sent a thug to assassinate the President of the United States. Later, it personally went about capturing U.S. generals and other military personnel, which it brought back to its den and dipped in an acid bath, reducing them all to skeletons. It was eventually broken into a pile of bones by the Minute-Man, though it proved more than a match for him on their first encounter. It possesses superhuman strength, invulnerability (nearly), and is extremely difficult to injure, much less kill, and is bulletproof to conventional firearms.
