Some of the most respected soldiers in Longbow´s arsenal are the Eagles. They use advanced jetpacks and strike from on high where many of their foes can´t even reach them. Their long reach makes many villains cry "foul".

Harkening back to the days of flaming arrows are Longbow's flamethrowers. They typically try not to use these when the press is around--burning enemies alive plays poorly on the evening news for a "heroic" organisation.

Named enemies

The Dragon´s Tail (¿boss?)

Three thrown daggers that can hit multiple targets.

You are disoriented.

Cobra Strike Melee Smash, Disorient
This focused attack can severely Disorient most targets as well as deal some damage.

(Notes: I found this guy during one of Dr. Percey´s missions. He came as a Lieutenant, but since he was at the end and all mission bosses are turned into Lieutenants if you solo and play at Villanous level of difficulty, I´m assuming he´s most surely a Boss normally. I´m putting him in this section because he´s under Longbow faction, though he looks as an independent Hero. In combat, he missed a lot with his Shurikens, but the Cobra Strike hitted me plenty of times, Disorienting me and dropping my toggles time after time)
