DREAD DEALERS
First Appearance: New Warriors (v4) #16

There is very little known about the Dread Dealers, other than the leader was Denny Drake, better known as Starion. Starion talks about how he had lived in foster homes, bouncing around a lot in his youth. When the New Warriors confront them, Ripcord (who had been impersonating a young girl and gained Denny’s trust) reveals that the Dread Dealers were one of the top paid assassins. The other members of the Dread Dealers were never named, as they were defeated quickly by the New Warriors, before anything was made official.

Since no names were officially given for the other members, I have decided to create names, based on their appearance: (Left to Right: Jaguar, Starion, Emblem, Glacier).

NOTE: I looked up what “Starion” meant (not being familiar with the word), and discovered there is no English meaning to Starion (which is Denny Drake’s code name). I did, however, discover that Mitsubishi released a car called a Starion and rumor has it that it was supposed to be Stallion but was named how the Japanese pronounce the world. Which made me think, was Denny Drake supposed to be a reference to someone. He looks like he might be a reference to Nightwing (which might make a little sense, because with the last name Drake – that would tie to one of the other Robins), but I could come up with no one or no connections, conclusively.
