065 Pierce

Pierce is basically a Pinhead parody.

Hellraiser is a 1987 horror film by Clive Barker.  The main antagonist, Pinhead, is a supernatural being summoned from an extraterrestrial realm.  He is articulate and intelligent, unlike other contemporary horror icons that are either silent (like Jason Voorhees) or wisecracks (like Freddy Kruger). Nine films are currently in the Hellraiser franchise.

Pinhead's design was inspired by the fashion associated with the industrial music scene of the late 1980s.  A person involved with the industrial scene is sometimes called a rivethead.  The aesthetic includes para-military attire, dark colors, fetishwear, and of course, lots of piercings. Pierce fits right in with this subculture.

Ultimately, Pierce gels with both the contemporary horror parody dudes, as well as, those representing various musical genres.  It is also worth noting that Craig Jones, who plays synths for the band Slipknot, also wears a Pinhead-inspired mask.  Slipknot was massively popular when Pierce first hit the market in 2002. In the 2004 PC Game Bare Knuckle Grind, it is revealed that Pierce speaks with a strong German accent. This suggests another link -- this time to the German industrial-metal band Rammstein -- also very popular in the late 90s and early 2000s.

Anyway, Pierce was issued in G1 and G2 phases.  He was re-designed and re-issued in G3 only in the accessory-rich Scuba Squad series.  Here he has a magnetic hand and a magnetic back for his various gear.
