The Hangmen herald themselves as next-generation assassins. They were hired by the nation of Qurac to assassinate the mercenary Cheshire. They target her daughter Lian Harper, but she is saved by her father Roy Harper in his Arsenal alias.[1]
They also joined up with Alexander Luthor, Jr.'s Secret Society of Super Villains. Ever the opportunists, the mercenary group used the Society's full-scale assault on Metropolis as a cover to loot the city. When Dr. Psycho discovered their duplicity, he psychically forced a group of citizens to literally tear the Hangmen limb from limb.[2]
Finally, they also tried to apply for membership in Libra's Secret Society of Super Villains. They explain that Doctor Psycho was the one to fake their deaths. They also request the deaths of every single Teen Titan as Libra has promised favors to every member who joins. The third Spectre attacks Libra, attempting to kill him. The Spectre fails and leaves, but not before slaying the Hangmen with ropes of energy.[3]
The person, who looks like Killshot, was among the villains in the ambush of the JSA led by Tapeworm.
