Raoul Bushman was a former mercenary working in the Sudan along with Marc Spector (later to become Moon Knight). When Bushman came across Dr Alraune and his daughter Marlene his greed got the better of him and he tried to kill them over the gold the Dr had discovered. Marc Spector,aghast at Bushmans behaviour, attempted to save the father and daughter team. For this insubordination Bushman beat Spector senseless and left him for dead. Hovering close to death Spector encountered Khonshu and adopted the identity of Moon Knight.Spector in his new identity rescued the Alraunes and defeated Bushman.

Bushman later became dictator and ruler of the African country Burunda.He was heavily funded by drug cultivation and its profits. After another defeat by Moon Knight Bushman had his ruling status taken away. Bushman was taken away by authorities after a failed assassination attempt on some Russian ambassadors.

However between this time and the present Bushman has seemingly either been released or escaped from his captors. It was after this that he was killed it seems once and for all by Moon Knight in a gruesome alleway fight.
