The Assassin With No Name seems unconcerned with dealing with a super with superpowers. But throw in a ninja sidekick and you’ve got yourself the World’s Finest Superhero Team. And with interns! Let’s face it, the Superfriends wouldn’t have been nearly as formidable without Marvin, Wendy and that stupid dog.
Wait until he finds out about Persephone. He’s going to add an extra digit to his invoice pretty soon.
I haven’t decided on a name yet. I’m actually thinking of combining two together for a first-last name combo, but I will still accept entries until next week.
Also, for those of you that haven’t visited The Real Superheroines of Hive Valley for a while, not only has the newest chapter started, but I added a Pin-Up page to the site. (No nudity).
Also, for those of you that haven’t completed your Holiday shopping, there is literally no better gift than a paperback version of Java Jaguar, now available on Amazon. According to our team of scientists it will impel young people that read it to respect their fellow man more, increase their understanding of irony by 12%, make them less susceptible to bullying, and increase their net worth over the course of their lives by as much as 600%! I’ve got numbers to back me up, you really can’t argue with the math.
Get your copy of Java Jaguar, Volume One: Brewed Awakening now! Or the Commies will win…
He charges for killing people, but he tries to give value for funds received. How about Optimum Deathrate?
Deathrate Prime, if you’re going there…
Sounds a little banker-y….
Sounds a little Transformer-y…
Simon Blacke might have been right and the “assassin to be named latter” is Greyhawk messing with heads.
And he doesn’t sound Canadian, Eh.
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.
I can neither confirm nor deny this…
That he sounds Canadian?
“He has a lovable animal sidekick!?”
This! 😀
First read that as “anime sidekick”, which made me laugh – then think.
That reminds me of when this strip was bought out by that Japanese entertainment corporation… Ah, the good ‘ol days.
So he kills people who have powers? Somehow it didn’t strike me until now: how about Powerkill? I’m rather amazed to find that no 90’s superhero or villain wore that name. (There was a roleplaying sourcebook by that name, though. Not particularly superhero-related.)
Or maybe, since he kills people by taking away their power, Killswitch? I feel it goes well with the dual mask.
Both good names, that appear to be unused by the comic industry. We should slap a copyright on those right away.
Two names? Herobane Kapekiller the Unstoppable and we have three!
We can go nuts and a “III” to that…
Wait a minute. He kills powers. He kills power…
Blackout. That’s it, contest over.
That’s really, really good.
I know the avengers don’t exist in this universe but what do you think he would charge given that at least three of them are non-powered with military training and equipment as well as one of them being the smartest man on the planet.
Back in 1963 in Avengers number #145 The Assassin was paid $1 Billion to kill the Avengers. Lineup at the time was: Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, Vision, and Hawkeye. I read that issue when I was a kid and never saw how it concluded because it continued.
Okay, hear me out: Misdirection and Murder
“Killusionist”
Even if I don’t use that here, I am definitely using that for my Mysterio homage villain once I write a chapter for him!
Woo
*ahem* Woo!
THAT… is a great name. And Matt has a great use for it.
Still not as nearly cool as your Hat Trick!
Frame #5, contrasting all the other images, really sows the Deuxfaces look he has going.
Shame he’s not a Quebecer, eh?
sow=shows (sigh!)
I haven’t decided where in Canada he’s from… probably the same place as Wolverine. Anyone know that offhand?
I don’t think they ever say exactly where in Canada, but I’d suspect eastern, rather than western, Canada, just based on the fact that Marvel’s an east-coast brand. (also that particular mustelid species isn’t all that common west of the Great Lakes.)
Are you sure his origin isn’t cross border and he’s a Michigan Wolverine?
They are a famous sub species,,,
I’m 10% Wolverine’s from Quebec.
(Okay, Google says Northern Alberta but just imagine how incredible French-Canadian Wolverine would be.)
It occurs to me that this assassin must have been living under a rock. If Death Jester lets slip that Kickman defeated Superior Man then we could be looking at the contract waived entirely.
