History:

(Vengeance of the Moon Knight#3 (fb) - BTS) - Herman the German built himself a reputation as a murderous madman. He was eventually caught and put into the Ravencroft Asylum where he was kept in D Block.

(Vengeance of the Moon Knight#3) - After Hood, Bushman and Scarecrow broke into Ravencroft and lobotomized many inmates Scarecrow kicked open the door to D Block to free Herman the German and the Great Wall, two insane Ravencroft asylum inmates, who didn't need any convincing to join Bushman's forces against Moon Knight. At Bushman's side Herman and Great Wall left Ravencroft and went to NYC to wreak havoc on the city and lure Moon Knight to them.

(Vengeance of the Moon Knight#4) - The snuffling Herman showed the lobotomized inmates their target when Moon Knight flew in with the Mooncopter piloted by Jean-Paul DuChamp. Armed with two knives Herman did his best to cut open Moon Knight, but in the end he got his jaw broken. Moon Knight didn't kill him and left him behind for the authorities.
