Bushmaster may refer to:
Bushmaster is the name of two fictional supervillains appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The first Bushmaster (John McIver) first appeared in Iron Fist vol. 1 #15 (September, 1977) created by writer Chris Claremont and writer/artist John Byrne. He would later become a founding member of the Serpent Society until his death. The second Bushmaster (Quincy McIver), first appeared in Captain America #310 (October, 1985), created by Mark Gruenwald and Paul Neary. the first was a master criminal, while the second Bushmaster was given super powers as he had a long, mechanical snake tail grafted to his torso and bionic arms.
John McIver, known as John Bushmaster, became a Maggia crime boss in Europe and later expanded into the United States. In the United States he was confronted by Misty Knight, Iron Fist and Power Man. Due to an accident during a fight with Power Man Bushmaster was transformed into "Unliving metal", which later lead to his death.
Quincy McIver, younger brother of John, lost both his arms and legs in a boating accident while trying to avoid the police. The Roxxon Oil Company used their resources to graft bionic arms to Quincy's body and replace his severed legs with a long bionic snake tale, transforming him into Bushmaster. He became a founding member of the Serpent Society, finding acceptance among the team. He would remain loyal to Society leader Sidewinder when Viper took control of the Serpent Society. He was not shown to be a member of Serpent Solutions when the Society was reorganized.
