Taserface first appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy #1 (June 1990), and was created by Jim 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 than Pruneface, Clayface, Two-Face, or any other character with the word face as part of their name."
Taserface originates from a planet with a primitive culture. One day, a cache of armor and technology created by Tony Stark wound up on the planet. The inhabitants quickly adapted themselves to the new technology, calling themselves the Stark after their idol, and proceeded to use the technology to conquer other planets.
Taserface is deployed to the planet Courg to keep an eye on it and ends up fighting the Guardians of the Galaxy. After his defeat, he is tortured by his species and has his name taken from him. Now known as the Nameless One, his hatred for the Guardians grows.
The Nameless One pleads mercy to the High Sister for redemption. He is converted into a cyborg and given the name Overkill. He fights Hollywood, an alternate version of Wonder Man, and is easily defeated. He attempts to detonate himself in a last minute revenge scheme, but Hollywood absorbs the blast, killing only Overkill.
Taserface's cyborg body gives him enhanced durability, an array of weapons, and the ability to absorb and redirect energy.
Taserface appears in Lego Marvel Super Heroes - Guardians of the Galaxy: The Thanos Threat, voiced by Travis Willingham. This version is an ally of Yondu's Ravagers.
