Spoiler for Episode 0:

It seems that everyone he has killed was actually turning into one of those monster things, caused by being injected with some formula. This explains the superhuman strength of that one guy who threw Hayato way far away.

Yes, but...

Spoiler for episode 3 of the anime:

When two of your servants are also said monster things, who bait their victims with whips, and are deliberately characterised as vicious thugs compared to one of their victims whose monster form is a beautiful angel, and said angel dies trying to protect someone without monstrous powers whom the Skull Man then shoots in cold blood as she tries to struggle away... then I'm not so sure.
