Christopher Chance

Christopher Chance is the Human Target, a professional bodyguard-for-hire who protects clients by literally impersonating them — drawing out would-be killers by becoming the target himself. His work demands mastery of disguise, physical combat, and nerves of steel.

Few characters in DC's Bronze Age library carry as intriguing a hook as Christopher Chance, who stepped onto the page in Action Comics #419 in 1972 and has kept readers guessing ever since. His very name hints at the high-wire world he inhabits — a world substantial enough that it shares space with icons like Superman, Hawkman, and The Flash across decades of DC storytelling. Most at home in The Human Target series that bears the concept he's so closely tied to, Chance has demonstrated a quiet, remarkable staying power, remaining in print across more than fifty years from the Bronze Age all the way to 2025. For collectors who love a DC figure with longevity, mystery, and genuinely distinguished company, Christopher Chance is absolutely worth seeking out.
