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
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
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.
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)
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😂
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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)
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
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!
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.
@@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.
@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
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
Hey Aaron jus wanted to say I’ve been with the channel for like 8 years you guys are my go to thanks for bringin the best and under appreciated characters to light

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.
With all honesty...he is way to underrated...all the love goes to bruce, dick and Damian...the rest are hidden gems...red hood doesn't get the recognition he deserves
*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.
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.
Since you did the history of Midnight Man, Are you going to do history of other Moon Knight villains like Arthur Harrow, Shadow Knight, Bushman, the Zodiac Cartel, Stained Glass Scarlet, Moon_Shade and the Sun-King?
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.
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
Love the video, but I'm gonna say no one will beat batman here as he has the highest level intellect of all the people on this list and knows all martial arts known to man. With that he has he always one step ahead of you
Can you do history of the Elementals, Cyclone and Sandman along with Kurt Conners the Lizard, Rhino, Kraven the Hunter, Chameleon, Scorpion and the Human Fly along with the Tinkerer, Alistair Smythe the Ultimate Spider Slayer, Living_Brain, and Prowler?
I never heard of em. But I assumed it’s a different version of “The Elite” the way James Gunn talks bout how they’re heroes that will do ANYTHING and how excited he is for the new Superman movie.
How do you think the heroes managed to deal with these Assassins? What would happen if we saw these Assassins fighting against someone like Darkseid or Mongul?
Genuinely insane putting Shiva in 5th but Ra's, Deadshot, and Deathstroke above her is insane. Not to mention just not even including Cheshire or Talia. I know you can't read every appearance of every character but for real this list is all types of fucked.
Which one of these Assassins do you think is the best and is there any honourable mentions? Who do you think is has the best powers and abilities which we wish we had in real life? Do you think we will see all of these Assassins in the DCU? How do you think James Gunn is going to portray all of them?
I've been going back and forth with my brother on who should be the villains in The Batman sequel (our hopes) and as they were going super real I was thinking have Penguin bring in Deathstroke to get rid of Robbat-Battison as he trys to take Falcone's place.
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
You completely read my mind here Jason Todd is one of my favorite DC Comics anti heroes.
To say jason is one of the most loved in DC is a stretch. A big one.
How's Azrael compared to Jason Todd in using brutal methods working alongside the Dark Knight?
Damian was the most hated Robin I thought
BADASSS!!!!😃
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
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.
Imagine a John Wick style Deathstroke movie
I'd love to see a DeathStroke tv series ( you could explore/explain more character depth ) on a tv show.
Deathstroke deserves a video game
There’s deathstroke knights and dragons and I thought it was pretty good and plenty brutal
we really need a deathstroke movie
Watch Deathstroke Knights and Dragons
@@Gclarkie21 I watched it but thought it was mediocre ngl
Definitely true he,s one powerful assassin with a bunch of weapons and melee gadgets like swords⚔️⚔️.
@@thevro120same
This list is beyond perfect. Jason Todd , Lobo ,bronze tiger, deadshot and deathstroke are my favorites on this list.
Don’t forget Bane
@@The_realJesus yeah he should be on this list.
The silencer was newbie who should have had a spot. She is so tight
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)
I have that issue 😊
Is that least to greatest?
Deadly to deadliest?
@@Almtyhalfbreed Deathstroke is deadliest
Deathstroke is my favorite 😤
I like how they threw a Grifter picture when they were talking about the Red Hood
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😂
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.
Random question:
What will happen to your rival if you hire Red Hood on them?
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.
@@TheIronWarlockXIII shoot the goons and make a bargain.
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.
FACTS!!!!!
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

Ya I shocked as well the same with Damien Wayne wasn’t on the list
She lost a sword fight to catwoman she doesn’t belong honestly the entire al ghul family is damn near fodder
For me, Deathstroke will always be my favorite DC assassin. He’s just so cool
Did they forget Cheshire or did they feel Cheshire wasn't as deadly as Jason.
I was also expecting Cheshire
Right there with you guys. I was expecting Cheshire to make the list.
Same here
And Talia really disappointed they didn't bring them up
A definite oversight
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)
Excellent list.
Tommy (Hitman) gets no love? X-Ray vision and telepathy, and an excellent sniper along with his twin 1911s.
I'd also like to remind everyone that Tommy threw up Indian Take Out Food on Batmans boots...
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
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!
I forgot about him. Strong candidate.
Black Racer aka Willie Walker is the antilife equalizer and guardian who prevents Darkseid achieving godhood.
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.
Honourable mention: KGBeast! The guy had Batman running
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!
Yes but I believe they're non lethal bullets aren't they?
@@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.
@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
I actually thought Lady Shive would make it higher in this list
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
deathstroke is so cool along with lobo, lady shiva, deadshot and bane
Bronze Tiger is such a cool name.
I love the music in the intro 💯
I love this one!!🔥🔥Thanks VARIANT COMICS!
Can't wait for Variants hot take on the James Gunn announcement
He did on tic toc
It might not be a take ur jus assuming
@@destinedforgreatness3030 what are u talking about?
@@destinedforgreatness3030 lol whaaa? A take is an opinion. So I'm assuming he has one? LoL
5:45 I think its an honour to train under a lot of people lol
Hey Aaron jus wanted to say I’ve been with the channel for like 8 years you guys are my go to thanks for bringin the best and under appreciated characters to light
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 !

Another THANK You for this video❤❤❤
VARIANT COMICS,Subscribed because your videos always make me smile!❤❤❤

I keep watching it every hour it's too beautiful❤❤❤
I like how lobo is able to fight superman
Looks intriguing💚💚💚
This still remains the best fanvideo i have ever seen.❤❤❤
Can you do a history for David Cain Cassandra Cain and or lady Shiva
Edit: I like how most of these are Batman villains
One of favorites videos in RUclips❤❤❤
Why isn't Hitman here I think fighting demons aliens mutant monsters and deformed Mafia people should count to get on this list
Bronze Tiger should be ranked higher
This was very interesting i enjoyed it💚
I love your voice acting.Youve got a great voice❤

Nice to see Bronze Tiger getting some love. My only quibble is WHY ISN'T THE MAIN MAN NUMBER FRAGGING ONE!?!?
There are so many, this needs to be top 20
Good list but I think Talon should be on there
6:30 Are we going to address that Arris mispronounces Ra’s al Ghul’s name? ….No? Just me? Okay.
No, it's RAZZ AL GHOUL? like that lady says it... I won't dislike your comment, but I don't have to like your comment ;)
Need a in depth video like this for marvel
GLAD I LOVED IT!

I watch it for the video❤❤❤
For consideration:
Kanto, Darkseid's personal assassin.
Gunhawk
Cheshire & The Ravens
The Body Doubles
Onomatopoeia
Make more to this videos it's good so far so please make to the video❤❤❤
Can you do the history of zorro judge dredd Cassie hack qwenpool and vamperrella

the Body Doubles.

Dope T-shirts🔥
Keep doing what you're doing i hope you get to 6k
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🐺🐺.
Talon, Cheshire, Ghost-Maker and Bloodsport should be on this list
🔥 LOBO 🔥
Where would Bloodsport fall? Just shy of the top 10?
