Lee Majors Played an Assassin in This Canceled DC Comics Show

Before the Arrowverse dominated The CW, the network took a chance on Human Target, a 2010 action series based on the obscure DC Comics character of the same name. The show starred Mark Valley as Christopher Chance, a private contractor who assumes the identities of people in danger to protect them. Despite a loyal fan base and a second-season retooling, Human Target was canceled in 2011 after two seasons. TV legend Lee Majors, known for The Six Million Dollar Man and The Fall Guy, made a memorable guest appearance in the second season as an aging assassin named Christopher Chance—a clever nod to the original comic book character. Majors' casting added star power and a meta twist for comic fans, but it wasn't enough to save the series. The show remains a cult favorite and a fascinating 'what if' in DC's television history, especially as the network later built a successful superhero universe with Arrow and The Flash.
