The genders of his face masks are variable depending on the occasion. Known for taking lives with both a hammer and a chainsaw, Bubba is responsible for the deaths of three youths named Kirk, Jerry and Franklin Hardesty, the latter of whom is the only one he killed with a chainsaw.

Leatherface is a mentally challenged serial killer. He is not very methodical with his murders, rather going through with them loudly and messy. Each movie has its own unique take on the character, some being similar to one another.

In the first film, Leatherface shows emotions of fear upon seeing the intruders in his home, as he screams. He is very ruthless with his kills, treating his victims like mere meat. However, when he is at home, he shows submission to his family. Leatherface's older brother, The Cook abuses him and beats him with a broomstick, whom he doesn't fight off, instead he cowers and takes the beating. It is also of importance that he is non-verbal, he relies on his human masks to express himself.
