Editing DC Comics (section)

===Hitman===
That's not his superhero name, it's his [[Officio Assassinorum|job]]. His real name is Tommy Monaghan and he was created by Garth Ennis of ''Preacher,'' ''The Boys,'' and ''[[Adeptus Arbites|Judge Dredd]]'' fame. Tommy is a hitman that specializes in taking out guys with super-powers, because he's the only one crazy enough to go after them. Tommy doesn't really consider himself as a "super," even though he was given the (temporary and painful) power of X-ray vision because of an obscure and unimportant JLA event that gave regular people powers as collateral damage, and [[Imperial Guard|instead relies on manliness, grit, and lots of bullets]] to take them out. He doesn't take contracts on "good guys," but [[Murderhobo|also isn't afraid of killing someone in front]] of the Green Lantern, Batman, and Superman (separately on different occasions, and then once with all of them in the same building ''and then being fucking acknowledged by Superman for his '''moral courage''''' in killing the bad guys in front of Batman.) 

Ok, so he's cool, what makes him /tg/ related? A big part of it is that his comic is a big "fuck you" to the Superhero genre that's ''within'' the main continuity. He interacts with these superheroes by dragging them down to his level and getting them to see things from the perspective of the "normals" who end up as collateral damage, an angle rarely explored in official Superhero TTRPG settings; you're either fighting Good Vs. Evil, or fighting the Good Guys who are all secretly evil. The DCU's main heroes are all untouchable demigods that can't be permanently killed and always act justly, even when they don't because "reasons." Tommy, on the other hand, has no real powers, understands that killing is illegal and will result in more violence, but does it anyway because if he does it, he gets rid of people that deserve it, <s>saves his friends</s>, and ensures that when the time for revenge comes, <s>it'll all fall on him </s> Tommy wanted to deal with the fallout all on his own, but his entire crew decides they're not going to let him die alone so they go out in a blaze of glory, but incapacitate the kindest member of the crew right before he leaves so that someone will live to tell their story '''TL;DR''' it's the closest you can get to "The Boys" while still staying within a DC setting.

Also noteworthy on /co/ for minable memes, the most famous being [[Slaanesh|Bueno Excellente]], a friend of Tommy's who is a "vigilante" that can only say "BUENO" and whose fighting style is [[Rape|date rape]]. Seriously. Tommy and Bueno managed to drug '''both''' the Green Lantern and Lobo, filming the  getting married to Bueno, and doing other "things" married couples do as blackmail.

If the above disturbs or disgusts you, realize that (1) it was the 90's, the prime time for such <s>stupidity</s>[[edgy]] material, and (2) it was written by Garth Ellis, the Edgelord's Edgelord.
