In the film Idris Elba plays 'Robert DuBois' aka Bloodsport, a mercenary with an advanced technological suit that can create different gadgets and weaponry. He was convicted of shooting 'Superman' with a Kryptonite bullet and is a offered a place on the covert team in order to reduce his prison sentence.

I love that his helmet design resembles a Xenomorph from the Alien film franchise.
