The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Leatherface

Leatherface

Leatherface is a chainsaw-wielding cannibalistic killer and the primary antagonist in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise. He is depicted as a large, mentally challenged individual who wears masks made from his victims’ faces and serves as the muscle for his depraved, murderous family in rural Texas. Across multiple films, comics, and a game, various iterations of Leatherface exist in disjointed timelines, ranging from sympathetic family protectors to malicious predators, often following family orders while displaying immense physical power, resilience, and rudimentary skills.
