Dead Stroke (WTF!) in Monogram's DC Series 3 3-D Foam Key Rings

Monogram International Inc. produces some pretty cool DC merch with their 3-D Foam Key Rings. Three are three regular series, a Batman vs Superman film series, a Super-Powers Series, and a "DC Woman of the DC Universe series," a Suicide Squad film series, and a Teen Titans Go! series. Ordinarily I would simply post photos of the Deathstroke-centric items and be on my way, But I got a particular kick out of the ridiculous copy written on the Monogram website. Below is copy taken directly from the webpage that is supposed to convince you to buy their officially licensed merchandise. The following text came directly from "Product Description" tab near the bottom of the product page at web address http://www.monogramdirect.com/products-by-license/3d-foam-key-rings/dc-comics/dc-series-3.html on as of 5:13 PM CDT on September 28, 2016. 

"DC Series 3 3D Foam Key Rings comes in its own PDQ Box and 24 blind foil bags featuring characters: Super Girl, Bat Girl, Black Canary, Poison Ivy, Cyborg, Hawk Man, Dead Stroke, Green Arrow, Alien Man Hunter, Exclusive Silver Joker and Gold Harley Quinn Characters."

"Super Girl," "Bat Girl," and "Hawk Man" spellings are absurd, but forgivable for a non-fan corporate product licenser. But who the hell are "Alien Man Hunter" and "Dead Stroke?" DEAD STROKE?!? What's worse is that they spelled his name is as "Death Stroke" elsewhere on the exact same webpage. MONOGRAM, YOU'RE NOT EVEN TRYING! In any event, pictured below are Dead Stroke and the rest of the series 3 key ring gang.

Here is the Dead Stroke Key Ring brought
to you by the idiots at Monogram.

Here is the rest of DC Series 3 3-D Foam Key Rings featuring fan-favorites like
Super Girl, Bat Girl, Hawk Man, and the ever-popular Alien Man Hunter.
