Top 10 Assassins in DC Comics

[@anti-antifamclovin7627]

The way they turned Jason Todd, the most hated Robin, into one of the most intriguing and loved characters in dc is impressive writing. Plus, Red Hood's look is badass

[@damianstarks3338]

You completely read my mind here Jason Todd is one of my favorite DC Comics anti heroes.

[@jonathansoko1085]

To say jason is one of the most loved in DC is a stretch. A big one.

[@quentinfogger5755]

How's Azrael compared to Jason Todd in using brutal methods working alongside the Dark Knight?

[@simpletora7313]

Damian was the most hated Robin I thought

[@thesphider8298]

BADASSS!!!!😃

[@edward462]

Death Stroke is one of those villains who deserves a big budget solo movie or at least a live action TV series as long as they don't water down the violence this character is brutal and lethal and Comic book fans love even the strictly Marvel fans can't ignore him

[@sethteenweed7938]

Yeah and they could include the part where he grooms and rapes an underage girl! Can we please stop trying to make deathstroke anything more than a teen titans villain.

[@SuperSteph5]

Imagine a John Wick style Deathstroke movie

[@powerbadpowerbad]

I'd love to see a DeathStroke tv series ( you could explore/explain more character depth ) on a tv show.

[@Ra3mart]

Deathstroke deserves a video game

[@Gu5A2]

There’s deathstroke knights and dragons and I thought it was pretty good and plenty brutal

[@dynaguy3]

I remember a Teen Titans comic saying the order of assassins to hire for quality goes Deathstroke, then Deadshot, then Merlyn, and then Wade Defarge (Ravager)

[@mitchellcobb1265]

I have that issue 😊

[@Almtyhalfbreed]

Is that least to greatest? Deadly to deadliest?

[@dynaguy3]

@@Almtyhalfbreed Deathstroke is deadliest

Watch Deathstroke Knights and Dragons

[@damianstarks3338]

This list is beyond perfect. Jason Todd , Lobo ,bronze tiger, deadshot and deathstroke are my favorites on this list.

[@The_realJesus]

Don’t forget Bane

[@damianstarks3338]

@@The_realJesus yeah he should be on this list.

[@simonbellmont]

The silencer was newbie who should have had a spot. She is so tight

[@kyle.Al196]

Since Aaron described Jason Todd’s Red Hood the punisher of the bat-family, it would be a crime not to mention that Jason and Frank Castle were both co-created by the same comics writer Gerry Conway. Now that is one hell of a coincidence😂

[@49ers_red_and_gold2]

Deathstroke is my favorite 😤

[@thegameplayer125]

a bit surprising talia didn't make the list when we consider she took after her fathers role in training many assassins including having trained jason todd when he came back from the dead. talia might be on the same level as her father but she is quite a formidable assassin in her own right

[@naeemsolomons3645]

If Jason's number 10...then Talia wouldn't have made the list...he is stronger than her and she hasn't performed many feats...Jason was also trained by Shiva so he is allowed on the list

[@Lonerboi420]

Ya I shocked as well the same with Damien Wayne wasn’t on the list

[@Slipperyslope333]

She lost a sword fight to catwoman she doesn’t belong honestly the entire al ghul family is damn near fodder

[@GhxstlyStxrm]

I like how they threw a Grifter picture when they were talking about the Red Hood

[@BigFella117]

For me, Deathstroke will always be my favorite DC assassin. He’s just so cool

[@HeroAndReporter]

I always saw Deadshot and Deathstroke as interchangeable depending on their needed situation. If you’re a crime lord and you want to send a message to a rival, you hire Deadshot. If you want to wipe your Rival out entirely, you hire Deathstroke.

[@TheIronWarlockXIII]

Random question: What will happen to your rival if you hire Red Hood on them?

[@Cavillier1970]

I used to think that too, then came Villains United, where it came out Deadshot killed Catman's pride of lions, when he disguised himself as Deathstroke. Catman knew the truth by the smell, then when Deathstroke lead the SSOV into attacking the Secret Six Deadshot and Slade had a showdown saying "I owe someone, and I kill you I sort of make it up to him." They drew down and they hit one another, was a complete draw. The one who was part of the Six that should have part of this list was Cheshire.

[@gt8932]

@@TheIronWarlockXIII shoot the goons and make a bargain.

[@rave123456v]

If you were taking someone out that no one could get within a thousand yards close to Deadshot or BloodSport gets the call. If you wanted a covert takeout but are also ok with any means necessary DeathStroke not about to play any games.

[@13youngtazz]

FACTS!!!!!

[@hitmanmonaghan6633]

Tommy (Hitman) gets no love? X-Ray vision and telepathy, and an excellent sniper along with his twin 1911s.

[@DirtiestSanchez]

I'd also like to remind everyone that Tommy threw up Indian Take Out Food on Batmans boots...

[@Gclarkie21]

1. Deathstroke the Terminator(Living, breathing one man army) 2. Lobo(The main man) 3. Ras AlGhul(The demons head) 4. Lady Shiva(Most dangerous woman on the planet) 5. Cassandra Cain(Best hand to hand fighter in the bat family) 6. Bronze Tiger(Most skilled martial artist) 7. Bane(Brutal ruler of Santa Prisca) 8. Deadshot (The man who doesn’t miss) 9.Cheshire (Caustic cat combatant) 10. Black Spider (DC’s corrupted, and twisted wall crawler)

[@romeyrome32]

Excellent list.

[@Mike_Flaven]

Did they forget Cheshire or did they feel Cheshire wasn't as deadly as Jason.

[@jasonbarber5885]

I was also expecting Cheshire

[@kylestewart6282]

Right there with you guys. I was expecting Cheshire to make the list.

[@Cavillier1970]

Same here

[@lonemotheo1964]

And Talia really disappointed they didn't bring them up

[@martinhoward1999]

A definite oversight

[@stephenchambers7972]

I think it's high time that deathstroke get's his own game in similar format as the batman arkham games but with alot of gore and violence. that would be sooooo sick

[@theoutlawking9123]

Also, The Black Racer should be on here, he's basically Darkseid top hitman, a Dark version of marvel's Silver Surfer. When Darkseid needs someone dead, that's who he sends!

[@romeyrome32]

I forgot about him. Strong candidate.

[@eyeseer1]

Black Racer aka Willie Walker is the antilife equalizer and guardian who prevents Darkseid achieving godhood.

[@Coalzooka]

Cole Cash, Grifter should be an honorable mention or something. This guy managed to beat Batman in h2h, defeated Doctor Fate and took on the suicide squad / The Mask. His comics are an interesting read by far.

[@D3ADPOOL63064]

Honourable mention: KGBeast! The guy had Batman running

[@theoutlawking9123]

Jason is actually back to using guns, now if only they could give him back his proper costume with the leather jacket, that'd be great!

[@tylerj.o.7470]

Yes but I believe they're non lethal bullets aren't they?

[@theoutlawking9123]

@@tylerj.o.7470 Nah, he's using real ones again, they just won't make do kill shots on the living, only on Robots, at least judging by the new comic that came out yesterday; Batman: Legends of Gotham.

[@tylerj.o.7470]

@The OUTLAW KING thanks for the new info I'll deff look into it, but it's kinda lame that if it's a robot is okay but human is no go makes you think if they will change things back to old school jason down the road

[@felipechavez9732]

I actually thought Lady Shive would make it higher in this list

[@stephenchambers7972]

imagine if deathstroke had the strength of 100 strong men, the speed of a shooting star which travels at 120,000 mph, the immortality, invulnerability, super regeneration of lobo, his senses increased by 1000 and has unlimited stamina and energy. He could not be stopped at all with these stats that i have listed out for him

[@stephenchambers7972]

deathstroke is so cool along with lobo, lady shiva, deadshot and bane

[@purelitenite]

Bronze Tiger is such a cool name.

I totally agree that Deathstroke is my number ONE as well ! Easily one of the most dangerous characters in all of comics ! The man deserves a movie !

[@rave123456v]

Bloodsport should have been on this list at maybe 4 for having completely interdimensional weapons an aim rivaling Deadshot and being able to fight Supes on occasion with no superpowers.

[@romeyrome32]

Grade A list by you guys at variant but I would rearrange 2-5. Lady Shiva 2, lobo 3, Deadshot 4, Ras Al ghul 5. I'm digging the respect being paid to Red Hood. We finally get to see the damage all that training and gadgets under Batman could inflict if left unchecked onto the world. I would be surprised if Deathstroke wasn't #1. Death is in his bleeping name. LoL.

[@naeemsolomons3645]

I also like that they gave red hood recognition...but he beat almost everyone on the list atleast twice each...he should be a little higher...atleast 5 or 6

[@romeyrome32]

@@naeemsolomons3645 I wouldn't object to a higher ranking for Red Hood.

*The New DCU* should honestly have their own little “John Wick” franchise with just the DC assassins and mercenaries alone.. The Green Lantern lore - alone - is filled with enough lore for a universe.. as is the criminal underworld of DC.

Underrated assassins I know of are Zen aku and Elektra the girl with two Ninja sais and the Dark wild org with the Crescent blade and flute🐺🐺.

[@gillriet773]

The whole Bronze Tiger section I was waiting for you to mention the fact that he is a humanoid cat, a Khajiit, but no he's just a dude to you and I love you for that. Other characters like Killer Croc and Cheetah have the desire for that exact treatment written into their characters and they would probably love you for that too. Edit. Yes I know he can go back and forth like an Animorph but still.
