Every cool character in the superhero world have at least one deadly weapon in their name. Thor with his iconic Hammer, Captain America’s Shield or Wolverine’s shiny sharp claws. And on the list of these epic weapons is Death Dealer’s deadly Blade. He also got tripled bladed knives and comes really handy when it comes to killer combats.
