Deadlock already pays homage to the early 20th century pop culture in a lot of ways, but it'd be cool if there was some golden age of hollywood style character.
Their abilities could be based around old movie stunts. Just spitballing, but they could have an ult that's the wall fallstunt:
Wall Falls on Buster Keaton
and enemies need to avoid it (although that might feel too similar to Doorman's).
In classic Deadlock fashion it could be twisted with some occult thing where he's been cursed to be unlucky or something and that causes all these crazy stunts to happen (e.g. piano falling on people , people stumbling when they shouldn't, accidents in general). Maybe it's flavored as he's cursed to be immortal but will cause bad luck on other people.
This is more of a vibes based pitch so I'm leaving it intentionally vague on details...
Maybe someone will get some inspiration from this:
