!!Onomatopoeia!!Onomatopoeia
->'''AKA:''' Unknown

A serial killer who enjoys targeting {{badass normal}}s, the enigmatic Onomatopoeia is an eccentric murderer who communicates only in sound effects; the last thing most of his victims hear is his impression of the weapon he is about to use on them. Introduced in the pages of Green Arrow, he hospitalized Conner Hawke, and has since tangled with both Oliver Queen and Batman.
----
* AnAxeToGrind: Used one on Conner.
* {{Badass}}: He took a half-dozen of Oliver's arrows without flinching and bit another in half. He fought Batman evenly and managed to get away. He's hospitalized both Conner Hawke and TheJoker. Onomatopoeia is an enormous badass.

* ColdSniper: Has made use of a sniper rifle and certainly has the personality.
* CoolMask: With a bullseye on it.
* GunsAkimbo: Always carries a pair of semiautomatic pistols.
* HappilyMarried: Has a wife and children who know nothing of his supervillainous activities.
* KnifeNut: His go-to weapon at close range.

* SerialKiller: Of costumed badass normals.
* SilentAntagonist: Only speaks in sound effects.
* KarmaHoudini: Escaped from both Oliver and Batman.

* HonestCorporateExecutive: Oliver started out this way before he evolved beyond being a Batman expy.
* JerkAss: Ollie has had his moments, from being a self-important moralist, to a morally ambiguous AntiHero to an outright douchebag through his career.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite his snarky attitude and general smugness, few would dispute that Oliver Queen's heart is in the right place regardless of where his head might be stuck.

* CrimefightingWithCash: One of the earliest and greatest examples. Oliver Queen is one of the few superheroes whose original motivations for fighting crime basically came down to "Because I'm Bored and Because I Can". He later found more noble motivations, though. And in the most recent retellings of his origins, he always had a noble heart and a desire to help people.
