My figurehead -- Justthefacts -- and I, will crush all of you into fleshy pulp, laughing as our government-subsidized cigarette smoke provides a visual framework for your deaths.

Edit: Grammar question. If I'd just said "My figure head", but not included myself, then the sentence should have read, "My figurehead, Justthefacts, will crush all of you...". But since I was including myself, then using a comma would have made it into a list, implying that my figurehead and Justthefacts were two entirely different people: My figurehead, Justthefacts, and I". I couldn't just not put the comma in-between "figurehead" and "Justthefacts", as that would imply that I had multiple figureheads (If you don't understand that, then I'm too lazy to explain it to you.)

What is the correct grammatical solution here?
