|intro =
An organization of modern day pirates led by "Slaughter" Shaw. They use rocket-powered battlesuits and rayguns instead of boats and gunpowder.

|history = The Skullcrusher committed a string of acts of piracy on the Carribean. One of these coincided with [[Honor Guard]]'s fight with [[Kroseth the Intruder|Kroseth]], but the superheroes were nevertheless able to spare [[Samaritan]] for a few minutes. He repelled the pirates' attempt on the luxury cruiser ''Sea Princess''. ("[[Welcome to HumanoGlobal]]")

One member of the Skullcrushers, Padraig Rourke, entered into a relationship with Maria Navarro, a local woman who lived near their hidden base in Ecuador. When he turned physically abusive, Maria's daughter called Honor Guard's [[Emergency Contact Center]]. Not understanding just what Padraig was, the [[Marella Cowper|Center operator]] sent social workers instead of superheroes. Padraig murdered them, and from there it all escalated into out all-out battle between the Skullcrushers, E.A.G.L.E., and Honor Guard. After a period of siege, Honor Guard managed to invade the base. The Skullcrushers were shut down. ("[[Mistakes]]")

|speculations = The [[Skullcrushers (Street Gang)|Skullcrushers]] was also the name of the street gang that [[Steeljack|Carl Donewicz]] belonged to as a youth in [[Kiefer Square]]. It's unlikely, but unknown if there is a connection between the two.
