Why would Hitman get a barcode tattoo?
It's really tacky and doesn't really fit the character? Hitman should probably get better fashion sense. Don't you think he'd look a lot cooler and more intimidating without that dumb barcode?

Is this referencing a phase in his life when he was being counter-culture and saying something like "Government treats people like cattle" and branded himself like a capitalist product????

I was thinking of how to reply to this but it became immediately clear that you know nothing about Hitman.

The barcode thing is because he is not a human human, he is a clone.

However, the barcode is on the back of the head and he hasn't got hairs, a bit unusual for a stealth-killer who is meant to " fit in ".

I would rather advise to have this barcode under the arm or something like this.

But well..its hitman..its a game..its just a story.. In reality you would never ever see who is a killer and who isn't.

Are you really just that stupid? He didn't voluntarily get a barcode tattoo. It's part of the story. He wakes up in a cloning facility int he very first level. He's a clone you dumbass. He's #47...

No need to insult him.

It's not clear WHERE exactly he wakes up in the beginning, it looks like a mental-hospital rather than a clone facility, there is nothing that points out if it is or not. Someone who only knows this hitman part and hasn't even played it through, it is ok to not know WHY there is a barcode on the back of his head.

You actually are stupid for not trying to understand his point of view.

He was meant to be a clone that would serve as doctor Ort-Meyer's super soldiers, a perfected version of a human, superior in strenght. Then the doctor decided to do some crazy ♥♥♥♥ and released him, 47 eventually becoming an assassin for hire.

So basicallly when they tattooed the barcode on their heads, they didn't thought that one of them would escape. They were meant to be soldiers, and the barcode was the only way to identify them, since they all looked alike.

Hey, can you quit it with the hostility? Just asking a question man!

Anyway I think you're wrong...where is there any proof that he is a clone and not just a guy with a really regrettable tattoo from a drunken college night?

He is a clone.

Every Hitman game in the entire series is pointing that out over and over again, including all existing hitman movies.

He definitely is a clone. But as I've said already, your question is a very good one, since I can't understand why a clone would get a barcode on his head where everyone is able to see it straight away and identify him as a killer or weirdo. Shouldn't a killer look like the average joe or at least get his barcode on his a*s or forearm?

Well, logic of games I guess.

P.S: You are right about this guy, he and some others are ridiculously hostile and immature, this forum really needs a moderator to ban these p-ricks.

Why would we need your explanation if we already had answers long before you even entered this discussion?

Not all of the answers, especially the edgy ones, for example why is a barcore on his head , and he is bald, if he is supposed to be an assassin. The answer for that is because he was designed to be a soldier, not an assassin.
