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".

(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)
