So, here are all the winners of the second round of “name that villain!” I actually incorporated their new names into the strip. So congratulations to John for naming Daggerty Ann. Sabrina Pandora for Sheepshank. Kalli for naming Nicki Fury. And Xavier for The Axident. 5 Kick Points for each of you.
Plus 3 runner-up points for Daniel M. Ball for Killmando, and to Archives for Flexecutioner. Both solid names.
Now, what do we call Canada’s premier superhero assassin? Who is obviously a mash-up of Deathstroke the Terminator, The Punisher, and Boba Fett? And is he a match for Kickman?
Yes, let’s play “name the assassin!” Go nuts.
Dead Eh?
Unless he’s a Quebecer of course but he sounds like there’s a good chance he’s a blochead.
The Cold Loonie Killer….
Everyone knows the loonie is the Canadian dollar, right?
Killinator!
Moose
Alternatively, Møøse.
The majestik møøse
We apologize for this. Archives has been sacked.
I can see most of the “inspirations” but I’m struggling with the terminator, does he have an iron skeleton or something?
No, no not “The Terminator.” “Deathstroke the Terminator,” from DC Comics.
So is he a real deadshot with long gun?
S.A.Y.D.E – Stands for ‘Sorry Aboot Your Death, Eh?’, but usually pronounced as one name.
Frankly, the way his costume was designed, that face plant was just an axident waiting to happen
Don’t make me take your Kick Points away… 😉
Skulldigger
Herobane. He’s a super hunter, so why not reference that?
Wait a second. If he’s the worlds greatest assassin of of super powered individuals….in Canada, does that mean Kickman needs to be in Canada to be killed?
Well if he’s Canadian, I think he should be Mort
Le Coup!
Only if he’s from Quebec.
Final Stroke, the Deathinator
Okay, I’m calling it right now, The “Assassin with No Name” is Greyhawk too. Not only a scam to infiltrate and undermine the villains, but also to fund the operations, now and future.
AKA. “Collage” because nothing says psychopatch like a secret collage art wall, and it’s a bunch of creepy stuff stuck together.
AKA. “Hat Trick” – hockey pun, three goals, he KILLED three other super assassins to take their gear as trophies.
Still Calling it. It’s Greyhawk. He has hacked that website to create fictional villain personas with apparent “street cred”. Actually “internet cred” which honestly shouldn’t be a thing, but is.
Hat trick.
That’s a good one. Another vote for Hat Trick!
Well, I couldn’t find anything useful in the internet glossary of canadian slang.
but…
He’s an assassin of supers, supers in much of fiction are termed “Capes”. Kapekiller.
Probably because there is no Canadian word for murder or killer or anything impolite like that…
Excuse You To Death.
