Daniel Brickwell, Brick
After Star City was invaded by demons, killing lots of the population and leaving a power vacuum, mob enforcer Danny Brickwell stepped up and took power, eventually becoming the biggest crime boss in the city. A metahuman with enhanced strength and durability, Brick has been both an ally and enemy to the Green Arrow.
Strength:
Rips off a man's arm during a handshake.
Pushes two gang members' heads into a wall, hard enough to fracture the wall and kill them.
Breaks a man's hand by squeezing it.
Breaks one of Oliver Queen's arrows with one hand, and then pushes him up against a concrete column with his palm hard enough to leave cracks in it. He then backhands Ollie off his feet.
Smashes a man's head into the ground with a rock.
A gang all jumping on him and trying to pull him down at once doesn't budge him.
Sends people flying with a shockwave as he lands on the ground, and pushes a zombie's head through a brick wall.
Tosses about a mob of zombies.
Tears down an apartment wall, and easily lifts a hatch that Green Arrow can't move on his own.
Grabs Red Hood's head and swings him around, blocking his view and making him unable to breathe.
After throwing Red Hood, Brick punches through the bricks in the wall and stamps into the ground, breaking it.
Punches a hole in the road and flips a car. As Batman tries to climb a building-side ladder, Brick bends it.
Almost crushes Batman's armoured neck with one hand.
Chokes a man as he holds him up with one hand, before tossing him aside.
Durability:
Has his subordinates blow up a building he's in with members of a rival gang, and is unharmed from the explosion that killed everybody else. A surface-to-air missile was used.
Barely affected by Oliver Queen's arrows, which can penetrate metal.
Lets Green Arrow punch and kick him multiple times to no effect, just to prove a point.
Stands unharmed as five gang members empty their clips on him.
A guy hits Brick with a baseball bat which ends up breaking the bat, and multiple automatic sub-machine gun rounds to the face do nothing but anger Brick.
Tanks one of Oliver Queen's impact grenades.
Tanks one of Red Hood's explosives and gets shot in the face by him repeatedly.
Tanks being blown a massive distance into a wall by Batman's equipment.
Tanks being set ablaze by one of Batman's gadgets. He claims it hurts him, though he smiles and shows no signs of pain.
Is only affected by the Canary Cry in a minor way and it doesn't stop him, though it's still a hindrance.
Tanks a fall so high that his landing creates a shockwave capable of knocking people off of their feet, and jumps out a skyscraper without any negative repercussions.
Says that a load of seemingly high-caliber bullets tickle.
Speed/Agility:
Puts his hand over Red Hood's head before he can react, which leads to a comment about Brick being much faster than a guy his size should be. Later in this arc, Jason regularly arrow-times. In the second scan, Brick catches up to Batman who has a large head start and he leaps around on his way.
Fights:
Vs. Green Arrow. Brick is winning at first, but loses when Ollie uses trick arrows.
Casually beats a gang full of fighters with weapons. The comic implies he does this regularly. We see that a hit from a crowbar does nothing to him.
Vs. Batman. Indecisive, because Brick was distracting Batman as part of Red Hood's plan to capture Mia Dearden.
