Aaron Hope
"To me. You're just a bunch of divine fools. Given too much power. And using it selfishly. Your essence feeds off of the power of human faith. But you won't get any power from me. I will kill you. And hunt you. One by one. Until all the gods are dead at my feet."
- Aaron to Bishamonten the God of War about his hatred for the gods
"The great gods of IKEA have certainly blessed this girl with a heavenly rack."
- Aaron Hope being distracted by Hakah's chest
Aaron Hope, codenamed Dainsleif, is the legendary, foul mouthed God Eater, a mortal human with the ability to not only fight on par, but kill celestial and godly beings even when using conventional firearms and basic elementary magic. As the God Eater, Hope's reputation is greatly feared amongst the deities, as the number of gods he has slain has amounted to the dozens prior to becoming the Outer Shadow of SS+ Rated Jun Gasket. After being acquainted with Gasket, Aaron received a significant upgrade in his arsenal, including devastatingly powerful guns, grenades, devices, and general weaponry, further boosting his deity kill count to the hundreds. Paired with his unparalleled intellect, cunningness and strategy that has outsmarted even the most intelligent of Hope's victims, Dainsleif is the Black Legion's most powerful Outer Shadow, and quite possibly the most dangerous marksman in the world.
In the Champions Universe, Aaron temporarily took the hero name "Hangman", after being caught dangling on one of the memorial statues in the Champions Building by Defender. He was considered the foil and rival to Doctor Destroyer in a similar manner to how Caliga was the rival to Grond. However, after using the War Marble Spell, upgrading his arsenal, and weakening God of War Bishamonten's boost that had empowered Destroyer, Aaron easily defeated the super villain, ending the rivalry for good.
