Hands

Intro Hands is a distant cousin of the TCM Family. Hands specializes in securing areas using his homemade electro traps, which can be used to booby-trap barricades, crawlspaces, and other metal objects. His intimate knowledge of machinery allows him to utilize the Ripstall ability, enabling him to physically remove valves and fuses and quickly start generators or batteries. In defensive situations, Hands can adopt a defensive stance, and any adversary foolish enough to approach him risks being knocked down by a well-timed barge. A distant cousin to the TCM Family, "Hands" pushes seven feet tall and weighs nearly three hundred fifty pounds. He's a drag racing legend in Texas, but his darker side is much more violent and gruesome. During one grisly altercation at a sleazy, run-down biker hangout, he beat a man to death, ripped his face off, and proceeded to wear it as some kind of sick joke. Uncle “Hands” then gave the human "mask" to Leatherface, inadvertently creating a lifelong obsession for the kid. He's massive, extremely powerful, and can kill you with his bare hands in a matter of minutes. Hands is a multifaceted character whose backstory as both a skilled drag racer and a member of the TCM Family provides a compelling contrast between his public persona and his darker tendencies. Known for his skill behind the wheel, Hands' reputation as a biker and racer grants him a sense of notoriety, but it's his violent, unpredictable nature that truly defines him within the family. His pivotal role in Leatherface's transformation into the grotesque figure he becomes is a chilling one. Hands' act of ripping off a man's face and giving it to his young nephew, Leatherface, sets the stage for the latter's lifelong obsession with masks. This event not only establishes Hands as a catalyst for Leatherface’s descent into madness but also ties him directly to the family’s twisted legacy of violence.
