History

The Headmen is a quartet of minor super villains (mostly scientists) who have banded together to seek world domination, apparently for no better reason than because they all have something freakish about their heads. Arthur Nagan, their leader, has had his head transplanted onto the body of a gorilla, while Ruby Thursday has replaced her own head with an organic computer capable of changing shape. Jerrold Morgan AKA Shrunken Bones accidentally shrank his own skeleton, including his skull, and Chondu the mystic's head has been transplanted by Nagan onto a number of bodies, none of which Chondu appreciated much. They have clashed repeatedly with the Defenders and other superheroes including Spider-Man and She Hulk.

Notes

• Ruby Thursday is seen tossing the Ringmaster's top hat to Gorilla-Man in Sensational She-Hulk #2. It wasn't shown whether She-Hulk and Spider-Man retrieved it after defeating the Headmen in Sensational She-Hulk #3, so it could still be in the Headmen's possession.
