Very little is known about Barracuda's early life. Even his real name remains a mystery. From what little information has been made public, he was raised in Boca Raton, Florida, as the eldest of his siblings, two brothers and a sister. His father who was a member of a World War II tank battalion and just so happened to be an alcoholic, would often abuse Barracuda in his youth, at one point going as far as to hold his hand over a burning stove while telling him to "be as hard as the motherf_cking world itself".
