Finn Cooley - as can probably be established by his name - is Irish and a fairly little-known comic book villain in the Marvel universe. He is a hideously disfigured criminal, a mob boss, a bomb and weapons expert, and an expert in hand-to-hand combat who had previous been heavily involved with the Irish Republican Army (the I.R.A.) as a soldier and terrorist and who went on to become an enemy of the anti-hero the Punisher. He must wear a mask at all times - one which helps the tissue of his face stick back onto his skull, otherwise it would just fall off - as half of his face was blown off in an explosives accident when he tried to demolish a police station as part of his terrorist activities.
