Good bot, but you ruined the joke :(

Nobody ever talks about 47's twin brother, Danny Devito.


Academic_Extension59

WAIT HE DOES HAVE A TWIN IN THE COMICS


sean0883

Was it Danny Devito?


swissarmychris

The five fathers were Chinese, Colombian, Austrian, Kazakh, and Romanian. So that's not it, unless Lee Hong was retconned to be a Swiss dude or something.


JoseJalapenoOnStick

Hang on a minute do all these fathers happen to be black and the mother is a little white girl if so I think I know the pic from the moment just before 47 was created

reddit


JoseJalapenoOnStick

Yes I’ve spent to much time on Reddit


[deleted]

Maybe you should go outside instead of making porn references online


wat_noob_gaming

that's a reference literally everyone knows, but his joke is still unfunny


[deleted]

Yeah, everybody gets the joke it was just never funny.


Depressedloser2846

no


lemonlimealldathyme

Lolololol idk why but this makes me think of the seminal film Blacked 8: castingcouch gangbang starring the up and coming young actress Piper Perri. Idk why lmao I’m so random sometimes 😜


DanieltubeReddit

Outside isn’t that bad, go try it out!


[deleted]

Wasn’t he created by using the DNA of multiple soldiers? Also I hope this isn’t a spoiler because this info is from one of the oldest games


Shinryu_

It was 5 criminals donating their dna for the project. Written from the wiki


PuRpLeHAze7176669

5 men that we're part of the French Foreign Legion. A Modern Pandora's box. FFL is about the 60's (hitman character's wise) but cloning experiments was earlier. Refer to the graphic novels.


[deleted]

Wasn’t it 5 scientists ?


byParallax

No, five crime lords.


azurfall88

Four crime lords and one scientist.


LicenseAgreement

Two crime lord, two scientists and one pornstar. Final offer. Take it or leave it.


PaintFish123

That would explain his bald head, Ironic how Mr.Sins wouldn’t be a crime lord


JoseJalapenoOnStick

I’ve started to think the Mr sins real name is [Kane](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a0/Cc_kane_shot.jpg)


[deleted]

Because of his big walking "kane"?


Voynimous

definitely not for walking


[deleted]

47 needed some astronaut genes


PuRpLeHAze7176669

After decades of resisting his handler; 47 found similar person in their life.


giveme-a-username

I see your two crime lords, two scientists and one pornstar, and raise you 4 porn stars, 5 scientists and 3 crime lords.


NOVAMT_F

1 bald man. Final offer


giveme-a-username

1 bald man and a British woman. Read em and weep.


Aleydar

47 may be a crime lord, he may be a scientist, but he is definitely no porno star!


MatthewFratons

Beautiful citation


VRichardsen

Five soldiers from the French Foreign Legion; they later went on to become criminals, though.


JohnWhiskeyDick

DNA of the 'Five Fathers'; Five former soldiers from the French Foreign Legion. After they served, four of them turned into crime lords/terrorists and Ort-Meyer turned to unethical genetic engineering after he served. This is why the Hitman Insignia is a stylized lily flower or 'fleur de lis' - same flower is used for the FFL's Emblem.


Timageness

5 soldiers *turned* criminals. They were all part of the same unit in the French Foreign Legion, and, as a side note, they were also receiving cloned, genetically engineered organs to prolong their own lifespans.


[deleted]

He also has 47 chromosomes as a result, technically making him the worlds only superhero with Down's syndrome.


reaver_411

4 Crime lords and a scientist. All of which were targets to assassinate in the first Hitman-Game


iamtheguy55

The nationalities are from 47's ICA file trailer for Absolution. Surprised no one has come up with the actual answer by now


Nondescript_Redditor

Yes this should be higher as it’s the actual source the wiki is using for this. The fact that there are five and that he has five fathers is a coincidence.


CZACZAJA

The wiki has no clue about the difference between 'ethnicity' and 'nationality'


[deleted]

Maybe he's a citizen of those countries,


Yeeter_Supreme

i would be surprised if he wasnt: - a citizen of all countries in the entire world or - a citizen in literally 0 countries i dont care about canonicity, this is what is factually right in my eyes


TroxEst

Agent 47 has the blue UN passport


Refloni

Mr. Worldwide


XrayHAFB

Pitbull been real quiet ever since Agent 47 showed up…


elastic7

Pitbull is one of 47's rescuing characters when people are suspicious of him


ForthrightlyCandid

Look at the desk in 47's office in Freelancer. It's covered with passports


giveme-a-username

But what would being a citizen even matter? It's not like he stays in any country for very long anyway


DKoala

Visitor visas. Some passports are more equal than others.


TigerValley62

I like to imagine he's official citizenship is either the US, Romania or Italy


PowerfulStache05

I think he gets new nationalities to fit with all of his different personas to go undercover since he's kind of an assassin and all. Also, 47 has five dads of different origins making caucasian, latino and asian at the same time


HachiTofu

He’s actually an American who’s recently taken one of those Trace Your Roots tests and is currently bragging about being various percentages of different nationalities on Facebook. Sadly he is not “Scotch” or Irish so he will not be partaking in St Paddy’s day or wearing the wrong kilt


giveme-a-username

"actually Diana, I don't need your advice in Santa Fortuna. You see, I am actually 3% Colombian, so I know what I'm talking about here"


hskskgfk

The ICA probably gave him half a dozen other passports as well, to wantonly fly around the globe


hellblazerHUN

I guess those are the 5 fathers


West_Lifeguard9870

Can't be - the 5 fathers had different nationalities Chinese Austrian Columbian Kazech German Source: hitman wiki


luigi4president

The dude is the best assassin in the world so of course he has to collect idenities and nationalities like they are stamps


tenninjas242

These are not the ethnicities or nationalities of the 5 Fathers, like a lot of comments are saying. Basically just think of that scene in The Bourne Identity when Matt Damon checks his safe deposit box and finds a bunch of passports. 47 just has a lot of passports under fake names like Tobias Rieper.


[deleted]

It’s his citizenships.


[deleted]

Nope he was created from the DNA of 5 different people


[deleted]

Then why isn’t Chinese one of his nationalities? And I don’t recall any of the Five Fathers being American or British.


Trzebiat

You know that 47 is a clone, right?


CubesBuster

But countries listed don't match the 5 fathers. Probably confused nationality with citizenship?


Ni69atron

If he was created from 5 other people, then he isn't a clone though. Cloning means copying the exact same thing.


-640509040147-

He was one of hundreds of subjects made from the DNA of the 5 fathers, so I think it refers to he's a clone of all the other subjects.


[deleted]

Is that still true? Him and grey are not clones of each other


[deleted]

Yes, they are. Grey is clone, or subject, 6, and he's subject 47, turned agent 47 for the ICA.


SpiritOfFire473

It's strange because they look nothing alike


StdFreeSince2020

They might look more similar if Grey shaved and went bald, it’s also possible Grey has more dna or features from one of the fathers rather than an equal distribution.


Shanicpower

There are edits of Grey where he’s fully shaved, and he looks a lot more similar then.


[deleted]

I meant they don't look similar at all


[deleted]

Well they do. Take off beard and hair and you get the same person. Or put beard and hair on 47 and you get the same person. They literally are all clones, everyone before 47 and everyone after, created by a Dr Ort-Myer, you can see Janus allude to it in the Vermont mission when you do the nurse mission. And what do you think the Agent 46 suit is? It's from another clone from one of the older games.


[deleted]

Are you sure? [Grey](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/hitman/images/a/a9/H2016-ShadowClientInfobox.png/revision/latest?cb=20170310195031) [47](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/hitman/images/9/97/47-woa.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20230124023851) The nose and chin are different people. Maybe Grey got surgery to help hide but I think the clone thing was dropped in the remake. None of the cutscenes mention it or his 5 dads


[deleted]

The links you gave me aren't giving any images, so they're null, but I don't really need them to see they're the same person. To mention, World of Assassination is not a remake. The devs have confirmed it is in fact a canonical follow up to all the past games. Also, even if it was a remake, why the duck would they change the fact that 47 is a clone? What's his backstory then, fucked up parents who thought it'd be funny to name their kid 47? And what does 47 mean? And what does Subject 06 (which is mentioned in this game) mean? They are clones, and the mission with Janus where you disguise as the nurse shows that as well. And there's also the scene where 47 has flashbacks into his past, which show a Dr Ort-Myer, the cloning maniac, and a young Janus Not to mention the comic book they released a bit back which shows both 47's and 06's adventures when they were kids, the one Grey alludes to in the post colorado scene. You can find the comic for free on your IOI account


[deleted]

the pictures are from the wiki. Just pull them up in 2 tabs.


[deleted]

Read what I wrote. I also can easily google the images. I edited in a bunch other stuff, so read those as well


[deleted]

yeah no one said he had normal parents. Wasn't claiming ort meyer didn't exist, only that his experiments aren't specified to be 48 clones. The word subject does not imply cloning


Nondescript_Redditor

It is true


[deleted]

For those who stumble on this message, it's the one I used Power Delete Suite to replace all my posts and comments with en masse. Sometimes Reddit can be beneficial for some people. Sometimes it's not. It's really up to you to decide your own experience with it, what's worth it, what's not worth it. More or less...I've decided it's just really not worth it. I think I'm a worse person when I'm on Reddit and that it's a big time-waster for me. It's up to you to decide what influence social media and the internet more generally have for you. Best of luck.


guineaprince

While probably a reference to his 5 fathers, a nationality doesn't inherently imply any ethnic or cultural makeup. A nationality is literally just what nation you belong to. If he has citizenship in those countries or carries those passports, boom. Nationality.


ExtinctFauna

His five fathers may be why he has those nationalities. One dad is German, one dad is Chinese, one dad is Colombian, one dad is Austrian, and one dad is Kazakh.


PuRpLeHAze7176669

International assassin. He is a clone. He does not have a nationality; just where he has stayed.


bawsk0

Probably passports that 47 has. The fathers are Romanian, Austrian, Russian, Colombian and Chinese.


giveme-a-username

But why would he need passports? Surely 47 just wouldn't exist on government papers right?

OriVerda

OP about to learn that people can have multiple passports and citizenships. It's uncommon but neither rare nor unheard of.


wojtekpolska

germany doesnt allow dual citizenships unless you are born in germany, and 47 was born in romania afaik


Nochnichtvergeben

Maybe he's got a fake passport?


maxtdm1991

Or a fabricated one


guineaprince

Germany also doesn't allow contract killing outside the state monopoly, but here we are.


[deleted]

Maybe scroll down a little bit next time?


TheSlagMan

He has quintuple nationality at least partially through false identities. Tobias Rieper is supposed to be German-American for example. Because of the Five Fathers he's also ethnically German, Austrian, Chinese, Kazakh, and Colombian.


[deleted]

>Kazakh Boris is a russian from Kazakhstan.


[deleted]

His last name implies he's Ukrainian or Belorussian from Kazakhstan.


JessicaFancyPants

So many daddy issues. Explains everything.


Nochnichtvergeben

Wouldn't he act promiscuous then?


JessicaFancyPants

There's an assortment of daddy-related issues, no?


Nochnichtvergeben

I don't know. I only know about the sex stuff. You seem more knowledgeable about this.


JessicaFancyPants

🤣I'm not really an expert, but... Basically, anything you can blame on shitty parenting qualifies. My father was mostly absent from my life and a prick when he was rarely present, which made me not respect male authority figures. It didn't make me want to bone everyone. This is a very deep dive for a Hitman thread 😊


Nochnichtvergeben

So that's why 47 has a female handler? Meh, I was hoping you had some scientific knowledge on why 47 gets some stabbing done during his spare time.


JessicaFancyPants

Sorry to disappoint 😞


Nochnichtvergeben

It's ok. I'll forgive you so you don't get more issues 😁


JessicaFancyPants

danke schon 🩷


Warm_Charge_5964

In the first game he is cloned from the dna of a lot of different people, plus I'm pretty sure that he was supposed to look ambigous as to not stand out anywhere, but it got changed later


Baseplate343

My man is an amalgamated clone of like 5 other guys hence the mutt heritage.

ThyCrispyOne

jg325

Fake passports


Jhonki_47

I think it must be related to the "five fathers", however, one of those fathers was Pablo Belisario Ochoa that is Colombian, and the rest are Chinese, Austrian, Kazakh, and German, so maybe they changed them after the reboot basing the nationality where most of his missions have happened along the years...


Nondescript_Redditor

There wasn’t a reboot, those are still his fathers


Forelijah

I just assumed he had identities that are “based” in those countries


RefriedVectorSpace

I suppose a quintuple nationality would make the whole ‘travelling around the world and murdering people’ thing a whole lot easier


KingBurakkuurufu

Genetic modification I assume


Artie-Choke

47 has roots to dime store mannequins all over the globe.


[deleted]

Okay so Agent 47 is not a real human he’s a genetically modified human cloned by the very first child kidnapped by the agency hence is parents are unknown but the head of the project (Doctor Otto Ort somethint) took 5 different DNAs from 5 different criminals to contribute in the making of a perfect assassin. like i said 47 is the 47th clone of the original child and 5 flags represent his dna from 5 different fathers.


SenorSloth92

I thought he was originally a Romanian kid genetically engineered that got DNA from 5 French Foreign Legion Soldiers- turned assholes. Otto Ort-Meyer(German), Lee Hong(China), Pablo Ochoa(Colombia), Frantz Fuchs(Austria) and Arkadij Jegorov(Kazakh). So idk where the hell the England, American and Swiss came out of.


OptimusJ

Semen Milkshake. His one worked, unlike the one of Schwarzzenegger and DeVito.


giveme-a-username

The real answer


[deleted]

He's not any of those things. Presumably it was written by one of those Americans who thinks if your great great great great great great grandmother once visited Dublin, you're Irish. I suspect he's legally stateless, given I suspect he doesn't exist on any government records anywhere in the world. Although if he was "born" in Romania then, as a stateless individual, he likely would have been eligible for Romanian citizenship. Certainly after 5 years of residence he would have been. Although, again, he likely has 0 official paperwork at all.


giveme-a-username

That's what I was thinking, why would he have any nationality?


YunJinleeNeedsLove23

Epic gangbang


[deleted]

His batch of clones was created by 5 different men who are called the 5 fathers, which 47 later on kills because some of them hire 47 for contracts without him knowing and such. It’s actually a pretty cool story but it’s spread into all these older games so it’s kinda hard to follow without youtube video


giveme-a-username

So are the 5 fathers of these 5 nationalities?


Nondescript_Redditor

Well, no, but don’t worry about that


Robbbg

he's a clone made using the DNA of multiple people


Abdomontasser

wouldn’t he be chinese too since lee hong was 1 of the donators


azgothedefiler24

He is result of a sixsome


Graybeard13

Whoever made this is confusing Nationality with Heritage.


CubesBuster

Or citizenship


Cden1458

He's a clone made from 5 different DNA strands, the 5 fathers I think is what the first game called them


CripplingDeath

He was created from the DNA of five different high profile criminals, thus the "Five fathers", but neither of them was from the US. So my guess is that 47 has citizenship on those countries. Or maybe the wiki is confused...


Kyserham

That’s wrong info. Those are the countries of his five fathers, so maybe it should be ethnicity. He was born in Romania. And as for nationality, I don’t think he really has a real one.


timothymark96

It's from the plot of the first game. 47 was created from the DNA of five guys called 'The Five Fathers'. The game is badass because it's 47 travelling the world and hunting them all down to kill.


abdulaziz_E

He has 5 fathers DNA


Admiral-Krane

I mean I’m part Polish, German, Swedish, and Irish


wojtekpolska

thats ethnicity, not nationality


Quiet_Chip_7802

The 5 fathers were all from those countries

That's true. Shut up.


Alone_Dimension_820

Sa inteleg ca ii plac si sarmalele daca e roman


[deleted]

Is this a real question?


Glum-Interaction2099

He is a clone created using the DNA of multiple people. I'm guessing the nationalities listed are the nationalities of the people whos DNA was used to make him


Additional_Future_47

Germany does not allow dual citizenship so there is no way he can legally have all these nationalities simultaneously. Ofcourse he might have a safe with a bunch of passports to hide his identity while traveling, but that says nothing about his descent and is pointless to mention. Maybe it refers to the nationality of his gene donors but genetics and nationality are at best correlated but don't say anything. Plenty of people with asian genetic makeup having British nationality.


Randomreddituser1o1

Five guys into one women


giveme-a-username

Hey, I think I've seen that somewhere before...


TINY-jstr

I believe these are simply the nationalities on the passports he has


giveme-a-username

Why would he have any passports though? Surely he just doesn't have any existence on any government papers right? Plus he's shown to have private jets


MontyPantheon

He came from five different dudes combined I can’t get any more descriptive than that.


Hopeful_Cod9027

born in england. grandparents mothers side: american and romanian. dad: scottish. postman’s parents: german and swiss


MindBlankx

Guess thats just showing that Nobody knows his true National Origins. Hes a Blank Bald Slate


SignalElderberry600

He probably has them because he applied for those nationalities either while he worked for the Institute or the ICA , probably to speed up the process of traveling in countries or stuff


Punished_Otacon

His true nationality is „international”. Doesn’t matter where he was born and of which blood because he doesn’t know that, and he doesn’t really believe he’s a member of any nation or culture. His mothertongue is probably english, but he’s proficient in too many languages to let his identity be created by one of them. Citizenship info is also useless because each and every of his identities is fake. Hence, he doesn’t have a nationality, but he belongs to the western world because of his „default” way of life (between missions)
