In the world of animation, money is very important to certain people. These people
are often referred to as Assassins, hired killers, or mercenaries. From the typical gun-wielding
hitman to the ultra-powerful murder machine, which of these assassins are the strongest?
I’m ________ with WickedBinge and this is Cartoon Assassins: Weak to Powerful.
But, before we begin… if you’re a fan of animated assassins, I just wanted to mention our Anime
Assassins: Weak to Powerful video which we just released on our anime channel OtakuBinge. We’ve
been producing lots of anime videos in our usual binge formats, including Good to Evil.
Weak to Powerful and Gruesome to Most Gruesome. So if you like anime, do us a huge favor and go
over and subscribe. And make sure you watch our latest video on Anime Assassins: Weak to Powerful.
Now, for this list, any hired killer, hitman, mercenary or stealthy killer are fair game. Also,
it’s worth mentioning that we’re using only one assassin per show.
If they share the same universe but appear in a different show, they qualify to be on this list.
We’ll be starting with the weakest assassin and move our
way up the list until we hit the most powerful.

Oh boy, here he goes killing again. Krombopulos Michael from Rick and Morty
is the weakest assassin on our list. Michael is a gromflomite assassin and a rebel against the
Galactic Federation who buys weapons from Rick. During the episode “Mortynight Run”,
he is hired to kill the interdimensional being known as Fart. To be fair, the main reason he
ranks here is he doesn’t appear for very long. Besides the anti-matter weapon he buys that can
kill interdimensional beings like Fart, he is also shown to be able to sneak into the facility
holding the being. But, he is then quickly killed by Morty crashing Rick’s ship into
him. Despite his short screen time, he is a very memorable character, at least.

Next on our list is Adventure Time’s Me-Mow, the feline assassin. Me-Mow is a relatively
small cat-like creature who was assigned to kill Wildberry Princess. Me-Mow is skilled
in stealth tactics, able to hide in a pie for hours at a time to try and ambush the princess.
Me-Mow is impressively agile, able to jump around and climb things with relative ease,
and is able to conceal herself easily as well. Me-Mow, much like Michael,
doesn’t appear for very long, but she is shown to be much better than he is. She’s not all
that powerful, but she’s still relatively strong, considering her hidden dagger and usage of poison.
The impish boss of I.M.P, Blitzo from Helluva Boss is next on our list. Blitzo is an imp and resident
of Imp City who made a deal with Stolas to go to the human world. Blitzo is in charge of a company
that kills humans in the living world for demons in the afterlife. Blitzo is generally incompetent,
but his moments of competence can be scary. He helps kill dozens of D.H.O.R.K.S agents and
is proficient in various weapons, from his usual pistol to giant rocket launchers. It is shown that
he is resistant to human fire, probably due to his demonic nature. He can disguise himself semi-well,
and he can create portals through Stolas’ grimoire. Blitzo’s incompetence and lack of
significant feats are what stops him from ranking higher, but he is leaps and bounds ahead of Me-Mow
A bit of a newer face on this list, next up from Ducktales 2017, Gabby McStabberson. Unlike some
others on this list, Gabby is more skilled in blades than guns. She is skilled in slicing,
carving, and throwing with her blades. She was even able to block electricity from
the Moonlander’s with her blades and disable their weapons by throwing her sword. However,
she can’t rank much higher because, despite her skills and her height, she was beaten by the much
younger and smaller Webby Vanderquack. Regardless, she’s still a decent threat on this list.

A very recognizable face, Floyd Lawton AKA Deadshot from Justice Leauge: The Animated
Series is our next assassin. Like his comic counterpart, Deadshot is a pertinent threat and
a well-recognized and very dangerous mercenary. Deadshot is a master of escapology and explosives,
has basic hand-to-hand combat skills, is a decent driver, and uses many deceptive
tactics. But his most important and most powerful ability is his marksmanship.
Deadshot is often called the “world’s greatest marksman,” and his firearm skills are among the
best in the DC Universe. His marksmanship skills are enough to harm both Aquaman and
Superman at times. His marksmanship is what ranks him here on our list.
NOTE - SCREENSHOTS FOR THIS ENTRY ONLY. NO VIDEO OR SOUND CLIPS
The second most dangerous man on earth from Generator Rex,
Dos is next on our list. Dos is a member and the current leader of The Six,
a group made of the six most dangerous people in the world. Dos is proficient in fighting,
specifically in hand-to-hand combat, and he has quick reflexes. He was able to fend off both
Six and Rex at the same time, a testament to his skill. His primary weapon is a cane that
can shoot lasers and gas or be used as a blade to stab and slash people. Dos may be the second
most dangerous man on earth, but he lacks any skills to surpass the later people on this list.
NOTE - SCREENSHOTS FOR THIS ENTRY ONLY. NO VIDEO OR SOUND CLIPS
Next up on our list is the Russian spy Molotov C*cktease from The Venture Bros. Molotov is
a love interest, friend, and rival of beefy bodyguard Brock Samson and a Russian assassin.
She was skilled enough to lead the all-female mercenary group known as “The Black Hearts.”
She is an expert in black-ops activities. Molotov is proficient in multiple weapon
types and unarmed combat, and she wears boots with hidden poison-coated knives in the heels.
Molotov is shown to be amazingly competent and harder-to-kill than
most people. Molotov isn’t the most remarkable assassin because her list of abilities isn’t
really that ama. However, she is still a dangerous foe, especially with her leadership skills.
But, the superior Russian Agent, Black Widow from the Ultimate Avengers movie series. Black
Widow is an ex-Russian spy who currently works for SHIELD and The Avengers. She is
in peak human condition. She has peak speed, agility, reflexes, stamina, and concentration.
She is also a master martial artist and an expert markswoman, making her dangerous up
close and from afar. She is a skilled actress, spy, and seductress. Her persuasion helped SHIELD
in recruiting Tony Stark for the Avengers. Black Widow carries assorted firearms and a multitude
of miniature weapons on her. Not to mention, she has a multitude of gadgets including gas pellets,
a communication tablet, and an electrostatic discharge weapon. Black Widow is a dangerous
opponent no matter what timeline. However, this version is even more so, since she is
heavily trained, at peak human conditioning, and carrying more weapons than you can count.

The poster child from Batman: Under the Red Hood, Red Hood himself is next on our list. Red Hood,
better known as Jason Todd, was once a Robin trained by Batman himself. He is a demolitions
expert and an expert in escapology, not to mention his acrobatic and detective skills. Red Hood is in
peak physical condition, able to dodge gunfire even at close range while still Robin. He’s a
master of stealth, tactical analysis, tracking, and multiple kinds of weaponry. His main form
of weaponry is a pair of twin pistols that he’s shown to be quite masterful with. His
marksmanship skills may not be better than others, but combining that with training from Batman makes
him a legitimate threat. His training extends to his usage of gadgets and throwing weapons
like shurikens as well as hand-to-hand combat. Red Hood outranks Black Widow only barely, but that’s
because of his intense training under the wing of Batman and the number of skills he has learned.
A similar character in some ways, Winter Soldier from Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes is
next up. Winter Soldier is the result of Captain America’s sidekick Bucky being experimented on and
brainwashed by HYDRA. Due to this experimentation, Bucky is equipped with a powerful metal arm and a
multitude of weaponry. Bucky is at the peak of human strength, speed, durability, and agility,
not to mention his intense reflexes. The metal arm also gives him a few extra abilities, giving him
an intense strength upgrade. He can throw things with pinpoint accuracy, he’s a master martial
artist and a master marksman. He, much like Red Hood, is a master of both stealth and acrobatics,
making him a hard target to pin down. He may also be able to regenerate,
which can make him an even larger threat. He ranks higher than Red Hood mostly because of
his near-superhuman abilities and his cold killer instinct that is slightly stronger than Red Hood.
Next on our list is The Batman (2004)’s Bane. Bane is an assassin hired to kill Batman during
his adventures. He is a demolitions expert and a tactical analyst, and one of Batman’s smarter
villains. He is shown to also have some martial arts expertise and is an expert hand-to-hand
combatant that gives even Batman some trouble. He is in peak human condition even before he gets
to his secret weapon and stands on a near-even footing with Batman. However, what ranks him so
high is Venom, this powerful drug that increases his power almost ten-fold. He reaches superhuman
levels of strength, speed, and durability with Venom pumping through his veins. He gives Batman
more than enough trouble during their fights. He ranks above Winter Soldier because his powers make
him a much more hefty threat than Bucky. However, without Venom, he would fall below Winter Soldier.

From Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated, Obliteratrix is next on our list.
Obliteratrix is the second disguise of Alice May hired by Mr. E to put Mystery Inc in danger. She
possesses a specially made tech-suit that increases her abilities while wearing it.
She has enhanced agility, able to jump and climb things with relative ease.
Her suit is shown to be semi-flame retardant and can go invisible at will, showing off her
escape tactics. She also shows some knowledge of unarmed combat and acrobatics, making her
a threat in close combat. Her most pertinent and strange ability is her suit’s ability to generate
weaponry out of nowhere. Amongst her weaponry are a laser pistol, compound bow, bo staff,
and a laser whip. She is also shown to have at least a small grasp on marksmanship, making her
a threat both up close and from afar. She may not have Bane’s strength, but her multitude of
weapons and her suit make her a threat, if only barely higher than the Venom Addict.

Ranking next on our list is Slade from Teen Titans. Slade starts off as a sort of
mercenary mob-boss hybrid and a foe of Robin. Early on, he is a strong foe for the team,
being a master martial artist and a master of fighting with his Bo Staff. He was also strong
enough to dent metal and break boulders. But, his true strength comes from his tactical mind,
being able to manipulate Robin, Terra, and others relatively easily. Not to mention his
massive increase in strength after making a deal with Trigon. While divinely empowered like he is,
his strength is increased heavily, making him an even deadlier threat, especially with the ability
to summon and shoot fire from his hands. Slade is higher than Obliteratrix for many reasons,
but mostly because his tactical mind makes him a much larger threat.

Back to the past, Samurai Jack’s Scaramouche is next up on our list. Firstly, Scaramouche
is a robot with a metal body that’s hard to cut through, making his durability worth mentioning.
He has enhanced speed and agility, making him a hard target to hit under normal circumstances.
Even when his head is severed, not only does he live, but he’s able to relatively easily hop
around where he needs to go. He can also overtake another entity’s body by overtaking its head. He
carries around a massive scimitar that can slash through the metal that makes his body and a tuning
knife that can shatter anything using its sound. He can also make things levitate using his voice,
but he also carries around a flute that increases the strength of this power.
Scaramouche is a threat due to his durable body, insane way of fighting,
and his list of abilities. He ranks higher than Slade because he is consistently dangerous and
doesn’t need to make a deal with a demon to increase his powers.
Next up on our list is the angled assassin Dennis from The Spongebob Movie. Dennis is the deadly,
sadistic, and cruel hitman hired by Plankton to kill Spongebob and Patrick. Dennis is a
strong and important foe for the two of them. He is able to force himself to grow
a mustache at will just to embarrass and emasculate Spongebob and Patrick.
He can easily rip off Floyd and Lloyd’s mouths when they insult him, making them mute with a
shocking rip sound. He is able to defeat Victor with a singular uppercut, sending him through the
roof of his own establishment. He’s also durable enough to be stomped on by the giant Cyclops
and live with very few injuries, which is an amazing feat by itself. Combine
everything we’ve pointed out with him being so fast that he could appear behind Spongebob
even after the sponge had jumped from one of David Hasselhoff’s legs to the other. Dennis may not be
the first thought for powerful assassins, but he’s definitely more of a threat than you may remember.
But Avatar: The Last Airbender’s Combustion Man outranks Dennis for a few reasons.
Combustion Man is a mercenary hired to hunt down and kill Aang and his gang.
Unlike his firebending peers, he is well known for his specialty in Combustionbending. He can
use his mind to cause explosions. The explosions utilized powerful energy beams that can incinerate
boulders and evaporate entire bodies of water. He has considerable physical strength and agility,
amplified by his metallic limbs, and he shows no major physical weakness.
He’s not only a skilled tracker, intelligent hitman, and endowed with considerable durability,
being able to run through Aang’s whirlwinds and Katara’s icicles. However, he does have
one glaring weakness that stops him from ranking higher. His third eye tattoo is what controls his
powers, and if it’s injured, the attack backfires and kills him, or at least seems to. Combustion
Man is a threat in many ways, but that glaring weak spot is something we just can’t look over.
NOTE - SCREENSHOTS FOR THIS ENTRY ONLY. NO VIDEO OR SOUND CLIPS
Up next on our list is SixSix from Ben 10. SixSix is a mutant Sotoraggian who was hired by Vilgax to
hunt down and obtain the Omnitrix. He is a skilled marksman who is proficient in a number of weapons.
Most of his weapons are hidden within the suit of armor he dons. Amongst these weapons are
everything from machine guns to rockets. Some of his more interesting weapons are his energy sword,
an energy buzz saw, a sonic weapon, and mounted lasers. In fact, those mounted laser cannon’s
power levels can be adjusted to harm more formidable opponents. He has enhanced agility
and endurance, and he’s strong enough to tear through metal relatively easily. His suit also
includes a jetpack that he can use to fly around if need be. His suit also has a built-in Omnitrix
tracker and life support systems that allow him to survive in space. He also has little arms in the
shoulders of his armor that help him by throwing pikes and grenades for him. SixSix is a threat but
can be overpowered by electricity or much smarter beings that mess with his suit. He wouldn’t rank
anywhere near the top of this list without his suit, but he falls right outside the top three.
Keeping the Bronze Medal of Power is none other than Cad Bane from Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Cad Bane is an intergalactic bounty hunter and was said to be the best bounty hunter in the galaxy
after the death of Jango Fett. Cad Bane is known to be very proficient in fighting Jedi Council
Members, making him a dangerous figure. He also knows how to use his wits alongside his weapons
because not only is he a skilled pilot, but he’s smart enough to retreat when needed. Cad
Bane is also a brilliant tactician and leader, making him one of the smartest assassins not only
in the galaxy but on this list. Cad Bane’s main strength comes from his weapon proficiency. He
carries hundreds of weapons and is proficient in most of them. He has around LL-30 blaster pistols,
a Blaster Rifle, a whipcord thrower, and a flamethrower, amongst others. He wears Rocket
Boots that he uses to fly around when need be, he uses Electro Gauntlets that have stunners inside
them, and knockout gas to discombobulate people. Not to mention that thanks to his breathing tubes,
he is shown to be largely immune to force choking. Cad Bane is a threat in many ways and
is shown to be on the smarter side of this list. However, he is heavily outclassed by the top two.
Stealing our Silver Medal of Power is Sabretooth from the 1992 X-Men
Series. Grayson Creed Senior, better known as Sabretooth, is a mutant with many powers similar
to Wolverine. His superhuman senses, including superhuman sight, hearing, taste, and smell,
make him an efficient tracker. He also has a regenerative healing factor, allowing him to
heal from most injuries, and he’s also immune to fatigue. Sabretooth also has Superhuman strength,
durability, and stamina. He is at peak human speed and agility, making him a tough foe to pin down.
Not to mention, with his increased strength, he is also a skilled hand-to-hand combatant. But,
the main reason he ranks so high is due to his natural ability of long razor-sharp claws and
fangs. These are powerful enough to cut through even tough materials. This is amplified since
his entire skeleton, including his claws and fangs, were covered in adamantium,
making them a direct match for Wolverine. Sabretooth is one of the most dangerous
mutants in the entirety of the Marvel universe. However, he’s still only in second place.
Our Gold Medal of Power for strongest assassin goes to Ultimate Spider-Man’s Deadpool. It should
be no surprise the merc with a mouth ranks in our top spot, but we’ll explain why. Wade Wilson is
a mutant experimented on by Weapon X and then taken in by Nick Fury’s hero program at SHIELD.
Deadpool is a highly skilled martial artist who can beat Taskmaster and almost surpassed
Spider-Man during their fight. He is also a master in both swords and guns of all kinds due to his
intense SHIELD training that puts him at the very least on par with Spider-Man and his crew.
He tends to use “hammerspace,” allowing him to bring even giant weapons out of nowhere,
making weapons available to him nearly limitless. He can also break the fourth wall
and speak directly to the audience much like Spider-Man, allowing the two of them to get
into a “fantasy battle” that is goofy and dangerous. But, he is this high on the list
because he is virtually unkillable. He is able to survive with his head cut off in most cases,
and his healing factor also makes him immune to supernatural curses. Combining all of
these places him leaps and bounds ahead of the competition, and easily earning him the gold.
But, we do have a few extra medals to hand out to these assassins.
Earning our Darwin Medal for the stupidest character is Blitzo who’s incompetency is
usually the cause of his failures, such as getting captured by DHORKS or Martha.
Blitzo also earns our Lust Medal,
mostly because he has to do some “adult activities” to get the grimoire for his job.

The well-deserved Wrath Medal belongs to Red Hood, who is bent on revenge for his death
at the hands of Joker and gets exceedingly mad at the fact Batman hadn’t killed him.
Getting the Pride Medal is Sabretooth,
who consistently wants to prove that he is stronger than Wolverine because of his pride
In fact, Sabretooth also earns the Gluttony Medal, due to being a feral
man and general hunter, he consistently eats things, even if it’s just for fun
NOTE - SCREENSHOTS FOR THIS ENTRY ONLY. NO VIDEO OR SOUND CLIPS
The Sloth Medal goes to Me-Mow, who was willing to wait in a meat pie for as long as it took to kill
Wildberry Princess, which must have been exceedingly boring if Jake hadn’t found her.
The Envy Medal is the property of our good friend Deadpool, who is shown to be envious enough of
Spider-Man and his backstory to make up fake ones that are more interesting than his real backstory.
Finally, the Greed Medal could have gone to almost anybody, but
Deadpool said this during his episode, “and sometimes I’m bad for money,
sometimes I’m good for money. As long as I’m having fun with said money, I make my own rules.”
