Hey, villains should be glad that heroes wear P(ersonal) L(ightweight) O(mnidirectional) T(actical) Armor…After all, when the villain gets stuck in a circumstance that “no one could have possibly surivied that!” moment, it’s what saes their butts too.
Yeah, I noticed that as a callout to a joke that this very comic strip told quite a while back, just like you did.
He strikes me as more of a Deadshot expy than Deathstroke, aside from the mask. Maybe it’s just because I watched Suicide Squad last night, but and I don’t know a lot about Deathstroke, but the few times I’ve seen him he was acting on his own, not as a mercenary or being noted for never missing a shot.
I think he’s probably meant to be both sort of rolled into one. This is League of Super Redundant Heroes…be kinda weird to actually have the redundancy of ‘The Ultimate Mercenary’ and ‘The Ultimate Marksman’ be two separate people.
Is is, though? One’s a general operator and the other’s a specialist. That’s pretty common across all industries. Why shouldn’t it be the same in the world of super mercenaries?
He looks like Deathstroke not Deadshot. he’s got one eye, white hair, the same costume colours and mask design and has a sword. All of which match Slade Wilson (Deathstroke) not Floyd Lawton (Deadshot). The main difference is that this guy still has his right eye rather than his left eye so the other side of his mask is orange.
It’s almost as if superheroes are in secret alignment with the artist while the villain is the tragic one whose actions only serve to give the hero greater fanfare and selling point for the comic (that has the heroes name or group on)
While all the time the villain amidst their long speeches and scheming that this issue will be the day they’ll get that hero not knowing their going through the recycled process of failure once again.
I unofficially name this guy Oneshot! ‘Cause that’s all it takes for him to kill you…that one shot that actually manages to hit as opposed to hit the ground around the hero’s feet.
It does seem to be pretty similar. Against expendable minor characters, Stormtroopers are relentless high-precision killing machines. They only turn into hopeless stumble-bums when they take on the heroes.
Still, he’d be great when it came to flushing out their secret identities.
Scene – A room full of the rich & famous, gatecrashed by Heatstroke (good work, JP).
Heatstroke:”One of you is a superhero. Either you reveal yourself, or I fire blindly and kill/wound everyone except you!”
Flying Fox Man (does his secret identity have a name?), thinking: “Hmm, do I reveal myself to save these innocent lives? Wait, they’re all 1%er scumbags. Let ‘em rot. I need another drink!”
He must not be aware of plot armor, the essential hero armour that everyone must have.
The fact that he’s noticed the effect makes him more self-aware than most.

Yah.
Occupational hazard.

Have you heard of the movie Megamind? Not exactly the same, but it is a non 4th wall aware villian living that life.
The Joker can do that too.
Doesn’t improve his aim much.
You should read Confessions of a D-List Supervillain.
I dunno, one shot almost looks like it could have ruffled his cape!

Just keep firing, eventually the floor will give out.
It definitelly has nothing to do with depth perception.
the power of plot armor
An obvious graduate of the Imperial Stormtrooper School of Marksmanship.

I think it’s because the heroes have “plot armor”, quote-unquote.

ah but flying fox man you will be revealed by the fact that you survived the massacre anyway.
Flying fox man doesn’t get invited to those parties anyway. They’re for the charismatic billionaires.
And of course Batman has noticed it.

I wonder what happens when a villain gets hold of a P.L.O.T. armor and fights a hero who is wearing one too.
