Sinister Dexter is a comic series in the British comics anthology 2000 AD, created by Dan Abnett and David Millgate. It first appeared in 2000 AD Winter Special #7 (December, 1995).Set in the near future, it features the exploits of gun sharks (hitmen) Finnigan "Finny" Sinister and Ramone "Ray" Dexter in the city of Downlode, sprawled across Central Europe. Occasional stories have taken place in other cities, or off planet. Despite its violent nature, the series is often presented with a decidedly tongue-in-cheek tone, often focusing on the ludicrousness of the situations the titular duo find themselves in in order to take out a target, as well as the extremely colourful characters that they encounter along the way. | |

Comic-Book Fantasy Casting | |
| Sinister Dexter (Comic Book) / int_11bc87bc | comment |
Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: On the cover of prog 1693, artist Mark Harrison based his version of the duo on actors Jamie Foxx and Tony Curran. One story sees the duo travel to London to take out two gangsters whose appearances are based on Michael Caine and Bob Hoskins. One story outright parodied this trope with Bruce Willis as Sinister, Eddie Murphy as Dexter, and Scarlett Johansson as Demi Octavo. | |

Anyone Can Die | |
| Sinister Dexter (Comic Book) / int_1237828f | comment |
Anyone Can Die: A given in a series set in a crime-infested hellhole, whose protagonists kill people for a living. Many supporting characters introduced over the years have met their ends, but this trope didn't really come into force until the shocking death of Demi Octavo. Hell, there was even a period where it seemed like this had been applied to Ray and Finny themselves, although, thankfully, this wasn't really the case: Ray was just hospitalised, while Finny changed his identity and escaped off-planet. | |

Bland-Name Product: Dexter's original Headcase is actually a Sony product, but when it's destroyed, he replaces it with a Fony model, which actually turns out to be superior to the old one. A coffee chain called Barstucks tries to run the duo's favourite coffee shop out of business so they pay the place a little visit. The end of the story notes that, for some reason, despite its worldwide mass appeal, Barstucks never does catch on in Downlode. | |

Disposing of a Body: Kal discovers, much to his chagrin, that his first solo contract requires him to clean up the scene of the hit and get rid of the bodies of both the target and his minders. A one shot story has Ray and Finny dump the corpse of their latest hit onto a massive pile of corpses off a quiet offramp of the highway. They note that they need to look for a spot for dumping bodies. | |

Pac-Man Fever | |
| Sinister Dexter (Comic Book) / int_38d3a0f7 | comment |
Pac Man Fever: Zig-zagged. One one shot story shows the goings on of a Downlode arcade, giving glimpses of various people playing virtual reality arcade games, all with their own unique settings. We then cut to Finnigan Sinister who has been playing Pong for eight hours while waiting for the arcade's owner to get in. There's a reason for this; The owner has a contract on his head and Pong appears to be the only game in the place that isn't a VR game, meaning Finny is able to just drop what he's doing and pump deadlead into the guy when he walks through the door. | |

Punny Name: Almost everybody. Not just people, the entire world seems to run off of this. An example in one episode was an Italian restaurant with an American Civil War theme called Spaggestisburg. This gets lampshaded, as one character doesn't get the connection between Italian food and The American Civil War. | |

| Sinister Dexter (Comic Book) / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: In Dunce Macabre, Kal reckons a man that they have just chased out into oncoming traffic is the dumbest mark that has ever had a price on his head. Finny and Ray proceed to tell him about some of the stupidest hits they ever performed, including a man who hid in a wardrobe (He was told he needed armour and thought they said "armoire"), a man who jumped out the window onto some live power cables and a man who filled in the form incorrectly, inadvertedly paying to have himself killed. Given Ray and Finny's reputation as two of the greatest gunsharks who ever lived, many of the mooks they face down - especially those who recognize the duo - certainly qualify. | |

Executive Meddling: Parodied in universe in one strip that is essentially a parody trailer for a Sinister Dexter movie. The movie appears to cast vactors (virtual actors) as the main characters. Finny and Ray are disgusted to find that Bruce Willis has been cast as Sinister and Eddie Murphy has been cast as Dexter (Each even using lines from Die Hard and Beverly Hills Cop as Pre Ass Kicking One Liners). While Finny expresses some joy at Scarlett Johansson being cast as Demi Octavo, they both walk out of the theatre once the trailer is over, expressing disgust at having sold the movie rights to their own life stories. | |

| Sinister Dexter (Comic Book) / int_c601fc37 | comment |
Professional Killer: Downlode has such a large criminal element that hitmen have several different categories: Gun Sharks, like Finny and Ray, are the most sought after and respected of hitmen with the skills and experience to match. Bullet Monkeys are more generic Mook types, hired in numbers to Zerg Rush a target. Reminders are a special case, being hired by someone who knows they'll wind up on the wrong end of a hit to avenge their own deaths. | |

Scoundrel Code | |
| Sinister Dexter (Comic Book) / int_e3315e75 | comment |
Scoundrel Code: Both played straight and averted over the course of the series. Finny and Ray (as well as many other gunsharks) have a pretty rigid code that defines how they operate: they don't kill innocents (unless attacked) or cops, they don't get in the way of others' contracts, and they honor their agreements, regardless of who they make them with. Of course, that doesn't mean that everyone in Downlode is quite so honorable, leading to more than one occasion where the duo has had to deal with someone willing to break the rules. | |

Consummate Professional | |
| Sinister Dexter (Comic Book) / int_ed84457a | comment |
Consummate Professional: Finny and Ray pride themselves on their professionalism, and don't let anything get in the way of executing a contract they've accepted. When a contract is placed on "Holy" Moses Tanenbaum, who the boys were working for at the time, he immediately assembles a hit squad to take them out, telling his disbelieving subordinates that their professionalism and reputations will demand that they accept the contract, despite his being their boss and the biggest mafia lord in Downlode. And he's absolutely right. Kal Cutter is forced to learn this the hard way while being mentored by the duo. When Finny and Ray go to accept a contract from a client at a nightclub, Kal meets a pretty girl there, and is then horrified to discover that she's the target. He tries to run with her, with Finny and Ray in pursuit. Eventually, they're cornered, and the duo explain to Kal that being a gunshark means that, above all else, you always finish the job, and can't allow emotion or questions of morals enter into it, even if you believe the target may be innocent. A reluctant Kal takes their words to heart, and shoots the target himself. Or so he makes it seem, as he actually fakes her death. | |

Offhand Backhand | |
| Sinister Dexter (Comic Book) / int_f018c5cf | comment |
Offhand Backhand: When fighting off Reminders in "Job Jobbed", Ray takes out one of them by firing behind him with his off hand. His Headcase likely allows this to be done with ease, thanks to its electronic targeting capabilities. | |

Undying Loyalty | |
| Sinister Dexter (Comic Book) / int_f16da697 | comment |
Undying Loyalty: The titular duo will go through hell and high water for each other, although there was a period where they split following Demi's death, which thankfully didn't last too long. | |

Inspector Javert | |
| Sinister Dexter (Comic Book) / int_f178203a | comment |
Inspector Javert: Tracy Weld, the new transfer to Downlode PD, starts off as this, determined to bring Ray and Finny in for their many murders. It isn't until much later that she sees the point of view of her partner, Rocky Rhodes, and realizes that they're not as bad as she thinks (and certainly not as bad as most of the targets they whack). This ultimately leads her into starting a relationship with Ray. | |
