Crucible:Snipe

Real Name: Archer Lang

Background: The Snipe was once Archer Grayson, a world-renowned competitive marksman whose career ended in scandal after being falsely accused of cheating in a high-profile tournament. Embittered and consumed by a thirst for vengeance, Grayson adopted the identity of the Snipe, donning a cape and mask to strike fear into his enemies. With unmatched precision and an arsenal of custom trick ranged weapons, the Snipe embarked on a criminal spree targeting the wealthy and powerful, whom he blamed for his downfall. Operating from a high-tech perch in one of Unity City's tallest buildings and using a cape that enabled him to glide above the skyline, he became a master of ambush and evasion, taunting authorities and heroes with cryptic clues and near-impossible shots. Though driven by anger, the Snipe’s cunning plans often hint at a lingering code of honor, making him both a formidable and enigmatic foe in the Unity League's gallery of villains.

Skills: The Snipe is a master of all ranged weaponry. He prefers old-fashioned weapons like crossbows.
