DC Комикстерінің "8-ші бөлім" командасы

Comic book superhero team

Section 8 is a fictional comic book team of superheroes appearing in books published by DC Comics. Created by writer Garth Ennis and artists John McCrea and Steve Dillon (for the character Dogwelder only), the team first appeared in Hitman #18 (September 1997). The team is named after the military designation for "mentally unfit for duty".

Sixpack: Team leader, whose special ability is grotesque drunkenness and beating villains with broken off liquor bottles; he talks in a stream of comic clichés. He thinks he is a real superhero and does not seem to realise that all his superheroic encounters are just drunken dreams, and gets upset when he's told they are not real. A regular at Noonan's Sleazy Bar, he fights against the vampires in No Man's Land and at the Battle of Noonan's Bar in "The Old Dog". Bueno Excellente: An obese, sweaty, and bald Latino in an overcoat who "defeats evil with the power of perversion". Generally, the only things he says are "Bueno" or "Excellente", often preceded by a creepy chuckle. That Stupid Bastich reveals that he has a career in porn films. He has also become a small internet meme and in the two issue miniseries JLA/Hitman it is revealed that Bueno Excellente had apparently date raped Kyle Rayner by slipping something into his drink. This is only mentioned in passing as Kyle does not remember the incident. The Defenestrator: A large, burly man in a denim jacket, black sunglasses, with black hair who obsessively carries around a window through which he forcefully throws criminals and the occasional unlucky policeman. His assaults on police officers landed him in Arkham Asylum. His appearance, name, and his death (and last words) are direct parodies of Arnold Schwarzenegger's character in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Dogwelder: A thin, silent man in a welder's mask who spot welds dead canines to evildoers. When Sixpack tries to bring him back to the team, Dogwelder almost welds him on general instinct. Friendly Fire: A large, hapless man in a red cowl, Friendly Fire would easily be the most powerful of Section 8's heroes if he were to shoot anything other than allies with the potent bolts of energy he fires from his hands. He is the most defeatist member of the team and the only one who will state how pathetic the team is (though he apologises to Sixpack for revealing the truth), but he still wore his costume even in retirement. He blew his own head off when trying his hardest to shoot the right target. Jean de Baton Baton: A bizarrely gaunt walking French caricature who defeats enemies with "the power of Frenchness", as expressed by savage beatings with a baguette and occasionally blinding others with rings of garlic and onions. Flemgem: A sickly, thin, bald man in a green suit and a purple domino mask who has the ability to produce and expel large volumes of phlegm, which can blind, suffocate, or simply disgust evildoers. Shakes: A thin, hairy vagrant who upsets people through stutters and an overall shaking palsy. He is a frequent accidental target of Friendly Fire. He dies trying to take out the Many Angled Ones, when he grabs a grenade and runs to a petrol station. Following Sixpack's accidental return to alcoholism, he assembles a new Section 8 to combat a mysterious (and possibly imagined) threat. Sixpack convinces Bueno Excellente to reenlist, brings in five new members, and attempts to fill the vacant eighth position with someone from the Justice League. Guts: A sentient entanglement of disembodied internal organs who vaguely takes the form of a human, Guts shows no apparent super human abilities other than her abstract form. She’s married to Bueno (despite his constant adultery), but has been shown to engage in relations with John Constantine. Baytor: A demon who works as a barman and caretaker at Noonan’s Sleazy Bar, he is described by The Spectre to be the demon lord of the criminally insane, king of hell (for a very brief period of time), ally of the arch fiend Etrigan and an escapee from the infernal regions. Dogwelder II: Successor to the original Dogwelder of Section 8, Dogwelder II is an African American man who had the misfortune of donning the Dogwelder tools after purchasing them from a pawn shop. The tools became stuck to him and transformed him into the next Dogwelder, giving him the compulsion to weld dogs to the faces of enemies. He's shown to be the first Dogwelder to harness the power of his ancestors and use the dogs for more than just welding, instead using them not only to talk, but to eventually save the universe. The Grapplah! : A man with grappling hooks and guns who is also "an annoying tool who won't shut his stupid mouth". During production of the film, fans petitioned to have Dogwelder in it, with McCrea giving his support for it.
