Owens the sniper
Context
Owens was an elite assassin, seen in a 2009 Red Robin storyline.
This profile is intended to be read after the team leader’s, Zed.
Owens could arguably be presented as an addendum to Zed’s profile, since there isn’t much of a character there. But a separate profile remains the clearest way to present his stats and picture.

Powers & Abilities
Owens is a superior sniper. And he seemed proficient with all sorts of firearms, including heavy machineguns.
He’s also in excellent shape and had good general combat and assassination training.
Owens could shoot one of Robin’s discs in mid-air, at close range, using a scoped rifle. And therefore without the benefits of the scope, iron sights or even proper aiming.
He operated an indistinctly-drawn sniper rifle, presumably in .308 Winchester.
It also could shoot some sort of rifle grenade. Well, it’s not drawn that way but that’s the simpler explanation.
Owens operated the unit’s “vanishing device”. This is a steel spike bearing a sort of combination flash/smoke grenade. The team is trained to shield themselves from its effects. Then they’ll take immediate action to exfiltrate whilst the opposition is disoriented by the glare and smoke.
Personality
Owens came across as a fairly ordinary young man.
He liked chatting, and goofing around a bit.
