Here is the Authority's Midnighter, from DC's WildStorm imprint. He is made from the body of a Hitman with a head from Mirror Master and hands from an Origin Booster Gold. Because I wasn't satisfied with a soft plastic staff, I put a straightened paperclip wire in his hand by starting a hole with a heated pin and then heating the end of the paperclip to get it through. But don't try that at home. Anyway, when he was first made, I put him on the Justice League common Batman dial. When I finally decided to put him on a team, though, I ended up deciding that the Crisis Deathstroke was a much more appropriate dial for him, except for the eight range. Fortunately, Wikipedia tells me that Midnighter has been known to use throwing stars. Figuring Midnighter could throw them at least fifty feet, I went ahead and made the swap, complete with updated character card.
