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!!!!😃
Love the video hope to see more in the future👇
🔥 LOBO 🔥
🔥🔥🔥
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
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 😤
This list is beyond perfect. Jason Todd , Lobo ,bronze tiger, deadshot and deathstroke are my favorites on this list.
Don’t forget Bane
@@therealjesus1317 yeah he should be on this list.
The silencer was newbie who should have had a spot. She is so tight
I like how they threw a Grifter picture when they were talking about the Red Hood
Top 10 Assassins in DC Comics... Batman villain. Batman villain. Batman villain. Batman villain. 🤭🤭
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
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😂
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
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
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.
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!!!!!
For me, Deathstroke will always be my favorite DC assassin. He’s just so cool
Honourable mention: KGBeast! The guy had Batman running
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.
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 actually thought Lady Shive would make it higher in this list
You had to know who was #1 before watching this video, if you didn’t; you should probably read more comics! Lol
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.
Bronze Tiger is such a cool name.
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
5:45 I think its an honour to train under a lot of people lol
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
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
if only john wick was in dc everybody would have to hide their penicils
Look, adoration for Deathstroke.
But Lobo is near immortal. And arguably, more consistent feats.
Granted, Lobo is far more unconventional and makes far more noise unless specified. But Lobo also has far more variety of weapons, strategies, strength, endurance and arguably more creative.
Agreed. Lobo could wipe the floor with Deathstroke.
Did you just mistake Grifter for Red Hood? Hahaha
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
Assassins(Not counting Ras or Talia as he and her are more shot callers than trigger puller/throat slitters)
10-Bane
9-Kanto
8-Azrael
7-David Cain
6-Constantine Drakon
5-Chesire
4-Shiva
3-Deadshot
2-KGBeast
1-Deathstroke
Honorable Mentions:Seven Men of Death, Black Spider, Body Doubles, Gun Bunny/Gunhawk, Trigger Twins, Copperhead 1/Copperhead II, Other league of assassins members/all the Al Ghuls and Wilsons
also Red Hood gets and honorable mention and Lobo is a bounty hunter not assassin!
Can you do a history for David Cain Cassandra Cain and or lady Shiva
Edit: I like how most of these are Batman villains
How about a top ten bounty hunters in all of comics?
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.

Sup
Wassup
Well done
Bronze Tiger should be ranked higher
6:30 Are we going to address that Arris mispronounces Ra’s al Ghul’s name? ….No? Just me? Okay.
Would of thought Lady Shiva would be higher top but ok 🤷♂️
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.
Where would Bloodsport fall? Just shy of the top 10?
Why isn't Hitman here I think fighting demons aliens mutant monsters and deformed Mafia people should count to get on this list
deathstroke is so cool along with lobo, lady shiva, deadshot and bane
I love the music in the intro 💯
Lady shiva SHOUKD be way way wayyyyy higher on the list
Good list but I think Talon should be on there
Can you do the history of zorro judge dredd Cassie hack qwenpool and vamperrella
No GhostMaker?
I like how lobo is able to fight superman
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
batman dnt kill
Bane an assassin?
*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.
You had me at Red Hood.
You had me at Red Hood.
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
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?
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?
Wheres black manta?
where is bloodsport?
Can you make a video about The Authority? Interested to learn more about them before the movie comes out in a few years.
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?
The assassins would get slaughtered,no contest. LOL.
No Richard dragon??
Top 10 dc teams in dc comics ✌️🙏
Marvel next!💪🏻
that was definitely Grifter at the beginning.
Hello VARIANT COMICS nice video,hope you've feeling better and look forward to watching more of this series.❤
For consideration:
Kanto, Darkseid's personal assassin.
Gunhawk
Cheshire & The Ravens
The Body Doubles
Onomatopoeia
VARIANT COMICS,Subscribed because your videos always make me smile!❤❤❤
For me personally...I think Jason should be higher...considering he beat almost everyone on this list more than twice...he beat your number twice...he beat your number 3, 4, 5 and 6 twice also...he beat bane and bronze tiger...but you put him 10th?
How did Talia not make this list complete brain fart on his part
Death stroke is the best
Who... Who is Abyss? I saw a supposed DC character called Abyss, and, I wanted to ask if he's a character? It really intrigued me.
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.
This video makes no sense at all. You rated Deadshot over the likes of David Cain, Lady Shiva, and Ra's Al-Ghul? You guys gotta be smoking crack for that one chief.
I see this list and all I can think is, "God, a 'League of Shadows' live action series could be legit 🤔 Way before Bruce, though. Maybe focused on Talia and Nyssa.
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 !
Love this video ... but a couple weird choices by the editor.
Like What was Grifter doing in there while talking about RedHood but most disturbing was using a gif of that P*ado EDP445
Hey VARIANT COMICS I love your videos please give me a shout out in your next video❤
I want a Court of Owls vs League of Assassins graphic novel. They both are each other antithesis. League of Assassins wants natural balance and harmony. The Court of Owls is industrialists, and capitalists who want to convert all Earth's Resources into personal wealth.
Deadshot should be number 10 on this list, everyone else on here is far far stronger than he and would destroy him, especially Kane, Lady Shiva, Ras and Richard Dragon
I love your channel’s content, but in this video, I got a feeling that the term “assassin” is kinda the same as “killer” here. I could be wrong but in my opinion, an assassin is supposed be a master of stealth, weapons (can use many kinds) and killing methods (martial arts, special techniques,..). However, some characters you mentioned here seems to be purely good at either martial art or strong, hence the the term “assassin” seems inappropriate in these cases
Red Tool/ Wayde Wilkins is a satire off Deadpool/Wade Wilson who both are satired off Deathstroke the Terminator alias Slade Wilson.
Grifter/ Cole Cash was also inspired by looks off Deadpool.
Lets be real variant comics. You had NO IDEA who Drakon was until the arrowverse, if you say otherwise we all know its a lie. Yall be frontin
I would have thought the top assassin in DC would have been Gunn! The man has killed the DCEU as well as many peoples interest in DC in all forms.
You should do a Dc vs Marvel assasins video, where you put #10 in DC against Marvels #10, #9 Dc vs #9 Marvel and so on and see who would win.
i would take lobo off the list only because he is more of a bounty hunter but he one of my favourite characters in dc, I would put kg beast on the list instead but at a lower ranking cause I don't think he making it pass bane lol.
$40-$50 for those batarangs? Lol I'm sure, what a rip off. It's like 20-30 pieces.
Of all the people you gave a shout out to Tom King smh. No more Variant for me. Seriously all those writers and you name dropped Tom King. Wow
I love dc
Sorry man. Lobo would wipe the floor with Deathstroke. The Main Man should have been #1
Lobo would be my number 1. As the narrator said he would wipe out all the others in this lineup. Including batman.
"One of the best X in DC" is like nothing these days lol. Everyone just good at everything now a days that popularity means more than feats
How come Assassins like DC Hitman(Tommy Monaghan) and Prometheus are not in this video? Can you do history of Hitman and Prometheus?
Talon, Cheshire, Ghost-Maker and Bloodsport should be on this list
SHIRT
I like your stuff brother let you know that I'm actually writing a comic myself what's the deal with the turtles Marvel DC and all the assassins in it that's all I can say for now
But where is Merlyn from Green Arrow and I would put in Grifter from WildC.A.T. S
Everyone says Red Hood is a badass
Meh...He sure has a great look, but why he haven't wiped Joker's ass yet?
Didn't know Lobo was an assassin until I saw this he,s always been a Bounty hunter like Bobba fett from Star wars🔫🔫.
I love this one!!🔥🔥Thanks VARIANT COMICS!
I keep watching it every hour it's too beautiful❤❤❤
