Dick Dapper

Richard "Dick" Dapper was the worlds most efficient secret agent. Rarely seen without his trademark pinstripe suit and oversized bowtie, he arrives on the scene in a ridiculous amount of style, yet somehow manages to avoid suspicion. S.H.O.T.S decided that the growing trend in Superpowered individuals was getting rather unwieldy, so created a taskforce to keep certain situations out of the public eye. Dick Dapper was one of the highest ranking agents, often used to infiltrate the US government, where unknown Supers often exploit their powers to gain political influence. Armed with a number of high-tech gadgets and a basic handgun, he helped keep the government in control.

One of his more notable missions was bringing justice to Judge Justice, who had managed to poison the court of Blackport under his malicious influence. His most important mission came towards the end of his career, where he was sent to bring down a rogue agent, who was rebranded Two of Clubs. After a long and tiring chase, this ended in a dramatic shootout that would determine the future of S.H.O.T.S. Unfortunately, this was mere moments before the First Crisis of 1985 took place, where Dick died horribly. Thus a long and succesful career was ended, with few agents living up to his legacy.
