the description for this list we’re
looking at superheroes and crime
fighters from DC Comics who don’t hold
back when it comes to punishing evil
they say Marvel is grittier but we’re
not so sure number 10
katana samurai swords are pretty scary
at the best of times with a ridiculously
keen edge and enough weight to chop off
limbs if used correctly but a magic
samurai sword that can cut through
anything and steals the souls of its
victims
now that’s terrifying the wielder of
this blade is one of the more deadly
heroes in the DC Universe a skilled
swords woman who most notably served as
a member of The Outsiders despite
carrying a sword full of trapped Souls
on her hip something that definitely
says villain to us she’s been a staunch
warrior for good and a frequent ally of
Batman and other heroes number 9 Green
Arrow
boxing-glove arrows aside a bow and
arrow is an extremely difficult weapon
to use if you’re trying to keep your
hands clean
but this emerald clad hero is nothing if
not dedicated a respected crime fighter
who served on almost every super team at
DC the Emerald Archer puts his bow to
good use
dishing out justice to street crime and
sticking up for the little guy though he
usually puts up a jovial front
especially in the comics he’s been
pushed to the breaking point more than
most heroes and usually responds by
putting the more lethal kind of arrows
and his quiver to good use number eight
Damian Wayne if we were raised by a
secret group of ninja assassins we’d
have trouble keeping things nonviolent –
the son of Bruce Wayne and Talia al Ghul
is one of many young characters to have
taken up the mantle of Robin he is
however the only Robin to be the
grandson of one of Batman’s greatest
enemies given his background it’s not
surprising that Batman had his hands
full keeping his new sidekick from
giving in to his assassin training when
fighting crime as dangerous as he is to
criminals he can be just as daunting for
his fellow crime fighters who have often
butted heads with the brash young
warrior number 7 Hawk well not the most
well-known crime-fighting
on the block the team of hawk and dove
are practically DC mainstays well there
have been a few different iterations the
basic premise remains the same pacifist
and level-headed of seeks to fight crime
with minimal violence well they’re more
hot-tempered and warlike counterpart
practically revels in it it’s your basic
Odd Couple situation but with the
superhero angle especially when his
peaceful Protege isn’t around to rein
him in Hawk is a violent and brutal
crime fighter who frequently leaves his
foes in traction or worse number 6
Lobo a hard-drinking hard fighting
trash-talking space biker this fan
favorite antihero doesn’t mess around
the character was actually created as a
parody intended to Lampoon gritty and
ultra tough characters like Marvel’s
Wolverine but became popular enough to
stick around
despite being intended as a joke in
addition to incredible levels of
strength and endurance he can also
regenerate his entire body in seconds
making him functionally immortal we
really only need to bring up one example
of his violent tendencies
and that’s the fact that the main man is
the last survivor of his race because he
killed every other member of his species
are we sure he qualifies as a hero guys
because this one’s looking pretty murky
number 5 Roy Harper the former sidekick
of Green Arrow has had a pretty rough
life after the Teen Titans disbanded the
former speedy struggled with drug
addiction a battle that has come to
define his life as a superhero
since kicking his addiction he’s gone by
both Arsenal and red arrow and continues
to use a bow and arrow as his primary
weapon like his former mentor his skill
at archery is almost peerless and his
variety of trick arrows makes him a
powerful opponent for any supervillain
his dark past continues to haunt him
though
making him a potentially more dangerous
opponent than many of his super heroic
peers number 4 Magog few heroes embody
the image of the violent no-holds-barred
superhero better than this one in the
Kingdom Come Elseworlds story the
familiar heroes of the DC Universe have
been replaced by a new and more violent
generation of crime fighters chief among
them is this Horned hero who murdered
the Joker after the Clown Prince of
Crime killed many of the Daily Planet
staff including Lois Lane he later
appeared in the main line DC Universe
the chosen champion of a demigod with
sinister motives armed with superhuman
strength and endurance
well as the staff able to manipulate
energy his no-nonsense attitude and
military training make him an extremely
dangerous hero number three
Azrael when Batman was left paralyzed
after a brutal encounter with
supervillain Bane the Dark Knight left
this hero as his replacement
raised by a religious order called the
order of st. Dumas the angelically named
hero was trained as a deadly agent of
divine justice
Bruce’s choice and replacement turned
out to be a mistake as his understudy
grew increasingly violent and merciless
he even overhauled Batman’s costume
adding a variety of blades claws and
projectile weapons similar to the
equipment he used in his previous
identity things reached a breaking point
when he allowed the serial killer
abattoir to die prompting Bruce to
return to take back the cowl number two
Jason Todd and speaking of overly
violent bad allies this former Robin
stepped into the role of Boy Wonder
after dick grayson struck out on his own
but unlike his good-natured predecessor
the second Robin proved more reckless
and violent but before Batman could curb
these tendencies his second sidekick was
killed by the Joker after returning from
the dead years later he donned the
identity of the Red Hood a violent
vigilante dedicated to dispatching the
villains that Batman refused to kill
number one Rorschach Alan Moore’s
seminal Watchmen violently reinvented
the superhero for the modern era
stripping away the glamour and
myth-making of most superhero comics in
favor of cold hard reality perhaps the
poster child for this ethos this
unhinged crime fighter comes across more
like a serial killer than a hero a cold
and calculating boogeyman literally
stained with the blood of his foes his
skill for inflicting creative violence
has left numerous criminals and would be
supervillains dead or injured and his
violent war on crime even continued when
he was arrested and incarcerated he’s so
scary that he even gives pause to the
likes of the comedian a similar violent
hero from The Watchmen universe do you
