Antihero for Hire is a webcomic by the creator of Adventurers! that takes utter joy in subverting practically every trope it gets its hands on. It is set in Triumph City 2144, and populated by an absurd number of superheroes. The titular antihero is Shadehawk, a Badass Longcoat-wearing superhero, who has a long and angsty Back Story involving one of the strip's MacGuffins, the Silver Arrow. He's assisted by Wrench, the Lord God hacker in this Cyberpunk future, and Crossroad, a fellow superhero(ine) with whom he has an unofficial alliance and a lot of UST.The comic resumed updating in June 2020 following a 3¾ year Series Hiatus.Please note: The website has changed, the links below now link to the individual "issues" instead of specific pages. | |

Horsemen of the Apocalypse | |
| Antihero for Hire (Webcomic) / int_12c6bf73 | comment |
Horsemen of the Apocalypse: The antagonists of the comic. Each of the four is actually a cursed artifact that absorbs the emotions of its wielders, with gestalt minds made of humanity's worst impulses. | |

Troubling Unchildhood Behavior: Malvagia. Pretty much everything she's done so far is troubling in one way or another. And she's well aware of how it can unsettle her adversaries, too. | |

Dressing as the Enemy: Shadehawk dresses up as a M.A.N.T.I.S. It doesn't fool the minion, but it does give Shady a chance to detonate an explosive. Later, he dresses up as the Crimson Boomerang, only to be detected by Wizard. He tries it again and is found out within minutes. | |

Thou Shalt Not Kill | |
| Antihero for Hire (Webcomic) / int_2f94135c | comment |
Thou Shalt Not Kill: The superheroes are strongly encouraged not to kill, mostly by paying less for kills than for live capture. But they understand that these things happen, and so they do offer an "Executioner's Fee", as long as he doesn't do it too often. | |

| Antihero for Hire (Webcomic) / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: Domarelli pulls one off. Knowing that Crossroad always tries to foil his plans, he hires the extralegal Vengeful Sisters to deliver supplies to an orphanage, which for all appearances is a front for drug smuggling with the sisters as unwitting patsies — but the delivery is real and the result is that Crossroad is distracted from his real objective, with the bonus of damaging her reputation. | |

What Measure Is a Mook? | |
| Antihero for Hire (Webcomic) / int_52b36340 | comment |
What Measure Is a Mook?: In the first arc with Nefarious, Shadehawk very casually kills one of Nefarious's henchmen (Alphonse), but specifically asks Crossroad not to kill Nefarious himself. However, this has to do with rather cold-blooded economics — Nefarious is an easy source of income. His henchmen aren't worth much, and tend to be more dangerous besides. | |

Enemy Mine: Has happened with Neon and Coldular (or Frozen North or whatever he's calling himself this week) both. They were both somewhat surprisingly amiable about it. Neon even seemed on the verge of a Heel–Face Turn. Considering who he's working with now, maybe Shadehawk should have given some thought to accepting his help and not thrown him back in jail on an unrelated charge. | |

BadassNormal | |
| Antihero for Hire (Webcomic) / int_6411dac8 | comment |
Badass Normal: "Superhero" (and villain) is tossed around a lot, but actually quite a few of the characters who identify as such are Badass Normals, including Shadehawk himself, Crossroad, and Jack. Played with when Gatemaster tries to attack Shadehawk with his bare hands, but even with his teleporting technology, finds himself overpowered fairly easily because he's a "failure grad student with zero muscle tone". | |

Cerebus Syndrome | |
| Antihero for Hire (Webcomic) / int_cfdb9e17 | comment |
Cerebus Syndrome: An odd case, as the syndrome started before the strip officially began. The original plan was for the strip to be comedic in the same line as Shallow's other comic, Adventurers!. Shadehawk was something of an expy of Karn, and the first preview strip featured him falling off a roof. | |

Unlimited Wardrobe | |
| Antihero for Hire (Webcomic) / int_d50a5478 | comment |
Unlimited Wardrobe: Shadehawk has a new superhero uniform for each passing month. Sort of defeats the purpose of a uniform, doesn't it? | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here | |
| Antihero for Hire (Webcomic) / int_d9cf40fa | comment |
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: When Shadehawk blocks Jack's mace with the Silver Arrow and it isn't damaged but tones in a way that surprises them both, Jack politely decides the bounty no longer worth it and simply leaves. He prefers to think of it as a draw rather than a loss. | |

Later, he dresses up as the Crimson Boomerang, only to be detected by Wizard. He tries it again and is found out within minutes. | |

Indy Ploy: Shadehawk lives off this, and he is very, very good at it... most of the time. | |

Backstory | |
| Antihero for Hire (Webcomic) / int_e8d46c29 | comment |
Backstory: Shadehawk's backstory is appropriately angst-ridden and a key plot point. We don't know all of it, but one important bit is that technically he's considered dead (right up to having a tombstone). Meanwhile, the setting's backstory is that Canada annexed the adjoining states of the US, using genetically engineered dinosaurs, which worked partially because no one minded, and partially because "the US was so busy protecting themselves against Weapons of Mass Destruction that they never made anything to protect against dinosaur attacks". | |

Not a Morning Person: Shadehawk really needs his coffee if he's to get up in the morning. | |
