1. Human Target

So, first off, this dude's name is Christopher Chance, which is friggin' rad. Second, we have his backstory.

Chris witnessed the death of his father at the hands of a professional assassin at a young age, and swore to stop others from befalling the same fate. Chance decided then to set up a profession for himself. If someone has taken a hit out on you, you can go and hire him and he will assume your identity and catch the assassin paid to kill you as"¦The Human Target.

This is just fantastic. I need Chris Chance to have a monthly series coming out from DC right friggin' now. Also I'll concede that "The Human Target" isn't the most optimistic of names, but that doesn't prevent me from loving it.

There was apparently a Human target TV series in the early 2010s but I just found out he didn't pose as the targets themselves but instead as their friends or whatever, which at that point, why even bother?

And there we have it, another list of very strange DC characters that I enjoy reading and writing about. Hopefully you’ve found a new favorite!
