“ | Look at me. I'm Black Superman! | „ |
~ Brixton Lore's famous quote. |
“ | I'm indeed the future of the planet. I'm the necessary shot of the system. I am a human evolution change. Bulletproof. Superman. | „ |
~ Brixton talks about his superhuman physiology. |
Brixton Lore is the main antagonist of the 2019 spin-off film Hobbs & Shaw, a spin-off of the Fast & Furious franchise.
He is a former MI6 agent who betrayed them to seek a viral biological weapon called "The Snowflake". His body was modified by Eteon, which gave him superhuman powers (hence his nickname "Black Superman") to be used as a tool by this organization to claim and unleash "The Snowflake" to kill humanity.
He was portrayed by Idris Elba, who also portrayed The Commandant in Beasts of No Nation, Shere Khan in The Jungle Book, and Colin Evans in No Good Deed.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- Betrayed MI6 and sided with Eteon by upgrading himself to become a deadly assassin.
- Killing his own team and framed Deckard Shaw, forcing the latter into becoming a fugitive. This would also lead to Deckard's sister Hattie disowning him until she eventually discovered the truth.
- Tried to unleash a deadly virus called "The Snowflake" to kill the large portion of the human race.
- Framed Hattie Shaw for killing her team.
- Electrically tortured Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw and tried to kill them after they refused to join Eteon.
- Snapped Professor Andrieko's neck for his betrayal.
- Attacked the Hobbs residence in Samoa with his soldiers.
- Kidnapped Hattie and ordered one of his soldiers to kill her after she is finished extracting the virus.
- Planned on finishing Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw, but backfired as he gets defeated. When Eteon's director witnessed his failure, he ordered his termination. However his death wasn't played for anything sympathy as he completely deserved it for his actions.
- Is completely remorseless for his crimes.
- Despite having a few comedic moments, he's still taken seriously and they don't distract from his reprehensible actions.
Trivia[]
