Suicide Squad informatics Part 07: Captain Boomerang


George "Digger" Harkness is a devious and ruthless Australian roughneck... and that's his good side. He developed a skill in crafting razor-sharp boomerangs at a young age, and eventually turned to a life of crime. Code-named Captain Bommerang, he has a wisecracking attitude and short fuse which often escalate the already dangerous situation.

Personality
George Harkness is a relatively tall and broad-shouldered Australian man, wearing a cap, and a brownish-gray trench-coat with a sewn right sleeve. On that same side, he wears a glove under his trench-coat. He wears a blue vest, with "Captain" being written on it (in silvery letters), and he stuck a boot with a ribbon for hanging as a weapon. He has dark brown hair, a thick mustache, bushy side burns and blue eyes. He speaks in a very thick Australian accent.


Abilities
Master Boomerang Thrower - Harkness is a master at throwing his bladed and edged trick boomerangs, and is able to hit moving targets with incredible precision. During firefights and combat, he uses the ability of the boomerang to fly back to throw it over the cover of his opponent, and then strike them in the back.

Master Combatant - In addition, Harkness is a highly skilled hand-to-hand combatant (though not quite on Batman's level), and can cut down multiple people in mere seconds when using the bladed edges of his boomerangs as close-quarter weapons.

Equipment
Trick Boomerangs - Harkness' primary weapons, with each of them a steel-made curved blade, sharpened on both sides and perforated by prolongated holes. When thrown, his boomerangs spins about an axis that is perpendicular to their flight direction, and are designed to return to the thrower. He is a very formidable opponent when armed with his trick boomerangs.

Drone Boomerangs - Useful for stealth and scouting, these boomerangs can stay airborne and have a built-in camera that transmits video imagery of the boomerang's location to Harkness' cell phone. This means he can hide while scouting out the area, which gives him a tactical advantage whenever he decides to attack or carry out a plan.
