The first two incarnations of Bloodsport. With the character poised to make his live-action movie debut, maybe DC will finally get around to addressing that mystery. They could even be a resurrected DuBois or Trent, for all we know.
While Trent technically wins the fight by teleporting his weapons into the prison and killing DuBois, Trent himself is later murdered by his own gang for showing weakness in the fight.Ī third version of Bloodsport has made small appearances in more recent DC stories, but their identity is unknown. He even finds himself locked in a boxing match with fellow prisoner DuBois. Trent takes up his predecessor's mantle and weaponry before winding up in jail. Ironically, while DuBois is a black man, the second Bloodsport is a white supremacist named Alex Trent. Lex Luthor is able to take advantage of that, brainwashing DuBois into believing Superman is a threat, arming him with high-tech weaponry and turning him loose on the Man of Steel. DuBois becomes obsessed with the war and avenging his brother, even if it means slaughtering innocent Metropolis citizens. DuBois is wracked by guilt after his brother takes his place in the Vietnam War and returns home a quadruple amputee. The original Bloodsport is named Robert DuBois.
They're good with guns, plagued by mental instability and fond of executing those they see. There have actually been several versions of the character over the years, but they all share a few things in common. Not to be confused with the beloved Jean Claude Van Damme movie, or with the various other hyper-violent, gun-toting comic book characters with the word "blood" in their name (Bloodstrike, Bloodwulf, etc.) Bloodsport is a DC villain who dates back to 1987's Superman #4.
