J is for Javelin

Not much is known about the German villain Javelin. He fought and defeated Hal Jordan and was later seen as a member of the Suicide Squad during the War of the Gods storyline. He as impaled on his javelin by Circe during this story, seemingly killed. He later appeared alive, working to kill Deadshot, before being killed again. He later joined up with the Suicide Squad, only to be killed again. Oh and his last comic encounter was against the Justice League during Cry For Justice, where surprisingly he was the only villain left alive.

Most folks that know of him, do so because of James Gunn's The Suicide Squad. He was played by German actor and comedian Flula Borg. This has nothing to do with Suicide Squad, but I want to share the music video that introduced me to Flula.

His stats are very similar to Captain Boomerang's because honestly they do very similar things. The comic book version has multiple javelins, but I prefer the film's one unique javelin style.
