Uncommon card · No. 161699

Bloodsport is the name of several supervillains appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The first incarnation, Robert DuBois, was created by writer and artist John Byrne, first appearing in Superman #4 (April 1987). He made sporadic appearances within Superman-related titles as an African-American who was originally a mentally ill draft dodger exploited unknowingly as a vigilante against Superman which culminated in a famous assassination attempt. The character's reinvention due to the DC Extended Universe has him as an avid patriot and a mercenary who is recruited into the Suicide Squad (Task Force X). Subsequent incarnations of Bloodsport include white supremacist Alexander Trent and an unidentified African-American mercenary. The Robert DuBois incarnation of Bloodsport made his live-action debut in the television series Supergirl, played by David St. Louis. Idris Elba portrayed the character in the film The Suicide Squad (2021).
