Bloodsport

**Robert DuBois**, codenamed **Bloodsport**, is a contract killer who was hired to kill Superman using a kryptonite bullet, but ultimately failed to do so. As a result, he was arrested and incarcerated in Belle Reve, and subsequently became a member of the second Task Force X strike team sent to Corto Maltese.

Bloodsport is a recurring antagonist in the World Protection Security Agency series, along with the rest of the Task Force X including Amanda Waller.

## Personality

Robert DuBois takes his Task Force X membership seriously, acting as if he'd like to be finished with it and move on with his life. He's confident and tough, with flexible morality and a clear understanding of the mission's stakes, both for those close to him and the world at large. He is hardened, aggressive, and easily frustrated, but can be compassionate for his close friends and family, willing to sacrifice his freedom and possibly his life for his daughter. His love for his daughter makes him easy to persuade or blackmail into doing things he wouldn't normally do.

## Powers and Abilities

"*A world-class marksman. In his hands, anything is a deadly weapon. His father was a mercenary who trained his son to kill from the moment he was born. He's in prison for putting Superman in the ICU with a kryptonite bullet.*"
―Amanda Waller to Emilia Harcourt and Flo Crawley[src]
* **Master Marksman**: As a veteran and assassin, DuBois has impeccable aim and is a master of murder using guns. Amanda Waller described him as a world-class marksman due to being raised by a mercenary who trained him to kill from a young age. He managed to shoot Superman (who can travel faster than sound) with a Kryptonite bullet. As he admitted to Peacemaker, he always hits his targets dead center, and he proved his superior aim when he shot through the pacifist's bullet projected at him. Given the astounding feat, he may rival Deadshot in accuracy.
* **Expert Combatant**: When attempting to "save" Rick Flag from Sol Soria's resistance, Robert was capable of skillfully incapacitating three of the freedom fighters. After being captured by The Regime, Robert was capable of seemingly killing a soldier with one strike, along with Rick Flag and Peacemaker. Robert was capable of taking on a number of Starro's victims attempting to incapacitate him.
* **Expert Assassin**: DuBois was raised learning how to kill. As such, he can turn any object into a weapon, such as when he threatened Amanda Waller by holding a pen to her neck.

"*You have the military experience necessary, and everything in your psychological profile tells me you have what it takes to be a leader.*"
―Amanda Waller to Robert DuBois[src]
* **Gifted Intelligence**: DuBois is a resourceful man, able to use cunning means to gain advantages over others, which he demonstrated by using the drive containing incriminating evidence against Amanda Waller to blackmail her into releasing the surviving members of Task Force X.
	+ **Expert leader**: According to his psychological profile, and due to his military experience, DuBois is fit to be a leader. As such, Amanda Waller selected him to lead Task Force X on the mission to Corto Maltese.
* **Indomitable Will**: DuBois defied Amanda Waller's threat of blowing him up, confronted Starro and began to overcome his fear of rats when he allowed Sebastian to be near him.
