Killshot

Killshot (played by Tom Rathman) was a villain in the episode of Deadly Games titled Killshot. At the behest of his boss, The Jackal, Killshot was the first "level boss" whom Gus Lloyd and his friends battled.

Personality
Despite his massive build and athletic acumen, Killshot was a brute of limited intelligence. He communicated only in grunts and simple, paratactic English. As with all of The Jackal's other minions, Killshot obeyed Jackal's every order without question. When he wasn't trying to kidnap or commit mass murder, he engaged in typical bullying behaviors, such as wedgies and slaps on the back of the head. He frequently calls people "geeks" and "dweebs."

Gus based Killshot on the quarterback of Gus's high school football team, who bullied Gus incessantly. This bully was hydrophobic, thus Gus gave him a weakness to water. Killshot's programming consisted of three directives: kidnap The Girl; hijack a helicopter; drop a nuclear warhead on a football stadium.

Appearance
Killshot wore attire that a football player typically wears to games, sans helmet. He wore a jersey number of 13. He carried several footballs around his waist. He sported a crewcut that left the sides of his head visible. On the right side of his head, he had tattooed the word "KILL." On the right, the word "SHOT."

Powers & Abilities
Killshot could throw footballs with deadly accuracy. His footballs had homing capabilities and exploded on impact. They had red LEDs on each end and beeped as they flew.

Weaknesses
Killshot's main weakness was water. This weakness affected both him and his football weapons. Additionally, he dragged his right leg as he walked, resulting in a pronounced limp that greatly reduced his movement speed.

Biography
In the game, Killshot was a failed football player. He broke his leg during practice, an injury that ended his career and left him with a limp. In his bitterness, Killshot swore to destroy anything and everything related to American football.

When Gus Lloyd's antimatter accident materialized characters from his video game, Killshot entered along with Jackal. He attempted to kidnap Gus's ex-wife, Lauren Ashborne by invading her apartment, believing she was The Girl. Gus thwarted Killshot, and Killshot ended up falling several stories from Lauren's apartment, from which he walked away unscathed.

Killshot then disguised himself as a soldier and hijacked a helicopter from an army base. He attempted to drop a nuclear warhead on the Los Angeles coliseum. Gus and Lauren thwarted this attempt as well and successfully destroyed Killshot.
