Loose Cannon is a vigilante operating in Metropolis.
History

Notes
- Loose Cannon was created by Jeph Loeb and Lee Moder, first appearing in Action Comics Annual #5. However, in the Prime Earth continuity, Loose Cannon first appeared as part of the New 52 DC Universe in Superman (Volume 5) #30 by Sean Lewis and Sami Basri.
- This is the third attempt at presenting Loose Cannon in the Post-Flashpoint universe following a Teen Titans foe and a revamped Bloodlines teenager. While the other versions diverged from the original's characterization, this version is most similar to the original presentation.
