!!!ComicBook/SuicideSquad / Task Force X

[[folder: Tropes that Apply to the Whole Group]]

A group of criminals forced together by ARGUS to act as an expendable unit of special agents. Most of them have served as minor antagonists for the Arrow before being forced onto the squad.

----
* BoxedCrook: They were offered shorter sentences in exchange for their services.
* ExplosiveLeash: Just in case anyone tries to escape.
* LongBusTrip: Thanks to ExecutiveMeddling, we won't see them anytime soon due to the development of the ''Film/SuicideSquad2016'' movie.
* MeaningfulName: Since they're a group of criminals, it'll be easy to dispatch them via ExplosiveLeash and use them as scapegoats should the mission fail.
* MultinationalTeam: The group is quite diverse.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: ''Suicide'' Squad. Yeah, that's not good.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: They were given a LongBusTrip by ExecutiveMeddling due to DC higher ups giving more priority to the ''Film/SuicideSquad2016'' movie.
* {{Reformed Criminal}}s: Heavily enforced. ''[[ExplosiveLeash Literally enforced, in fact]]''.
* TheScapegoat: In case their mission gets compromised, they'll be used as this.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: They don't particularly like each other.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Diggle and Lyla if they're on board.
* TwoGirlsToATeam: Cupid and "[[ExiledFromContinuity an unnamed]] [[ComicBook/HarleyQuinn deranged woman]]" are the only known female members of the group. Their handler, Amanda Waller, does not count.

[[folder: Deadshot]]
!![[ComicBook/{{Deadshot}} Floyd Lawton / Deadshot]]
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/deadshot_arrow_3815.jpg]]
->'''Played By:''' Michael Rowe

A world-renowned assassin noted for his expert marksmanship, signature neuro-toxin on his bullets, and warped code of honor. He clashes with Team Arrow a few times, and is responsible for killing Diggle's brother.
----
* AffablyEvil: See NobleDemon and ProfessionalKiller below; he may be a ColdSniper at heart, but the man is rather personable, even allowing Diggle some closure as to why he had killed his brother.
* AntiVillain: Slides into this once joined into the Suicide Squad; it turns out that his mercenary work was so he could have the money to provide for his daughter, Zoe (whom he keeps pictures of in his cell), and although it's of little consolation to Diggle, Floyd lets John know that Andy Diggle's death was NothingPersonal and that Deadshot was hired by H.I.V.E. to kill him. Although his intentions are undoubtably shaped by Amanda Waller's ExplosiveLeash in his body, he has proven to be a useful ally for Diggle and Lyla once Diggle spares him and Lawton is put into Task Force X. In "Suicidal Tendencies", he also genuinely wants Diggle and Lyla to return home to their daughter as his flashbacks reveal that he tried to go home from war to his wife and daughter and it didn't work out for him.
* ArmCannon: Possessed and owned a double-barreled machine gun on his right arm.
* BoxedCrook: He is captured by A.R.G.U.S. and becomes a member of the Suicide Squad.
* ColdSniper: The few flashes of personality we get out of him only serve to make him more chilling.
* ConsummateProfessional: He gives off this air, especially in Season Two.
* CoolGuns: His wrist mounted, double-barreled machine gun.
* CrazyPrepared: Deadshot, being known as the man that "never misses", goes as far as to soak his bullets in a poison to make sure even if he does miss a lethal shot, he'll still kill them.
* TheDeadHaveNames: His tatoos are actually the names of the people he has killed.
* DeadpanSnarker: He has his moments but eventually would have some SnarkToSnarkCombat moments with Diggle.
* DeathEqualsRedemption: His almost death in "Suicide Squad", where he wanted to die doing something honorable really set the record straight. But he gets true redemption when he dies in "Suicidal Tendencies" helping the rest of the Squad escape and having Diggle and Lyla get back to their daughter.
* ADeathInTheLimelight: [[spoiler: He dies in the episode "Suicidal Tendencies", with said episode's flashback focusing on his backstory.]]
* DeathSeeker: True the comics, he seems more or less unphased when Waller's drone attack would blow up the building he was residing in. Diggle had to remind him of Lawton's own daughter to bring him back to his senses.
* DrivenToSuicide: Implied to be the reason he stays behind.
* EnemyMine: [[RuleOfThree Three times]], during Season Two and personally counts as a GodzillaThreshold to Diggle. The most notable was in "Keep Your Enemies Closer" where him and Diggle were trapped inside the Gulag, and Lawton kills the only guard who knew where Diggle's ex-wife resided inside the Gulag. The next two times were under orders in "Suicide Squad" and during "Unthinkable" when Diggle went to stop Waller from destroying Starling City with a drone strike.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He has a daughter named Zoe, for whom he genuinely cares.
* EvilCounterpart: To Oliver Queen. Also having ImprobableAimingSkills, but instead using it for evil.
* EyepatchOfPower: He seems to think so, since in Season Two's "Keep Your Enemies Closer", after being placed in [[HellHolePrison the Gulag]], he quips about wearing his high tech eye piece again:
--> '''Lawton''': So much better.
* EyeScream: The Hood puts an arrow in his eye in his debut episode.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: He calmly waits for the bomb planted in the building he's at to explode.
* FriendlyEnemy: Starts becoming this to Diggle somewhat near the end of Season 2.
* GoodOldFisticuffs: He can really hold his own in hand-to-hand combat.
* HandicappedBadass: After losing his eye, but when he gets his patch back, he returns to form.
* IChooseToStay: He dies because he refuses to leave the building that he's at which was about to explode.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Uses a high-tech eyepatch, much like in the comics, to make the shots that count.
* LargeHam: Michael Rowe is obviously enjoying playing the character.
* LaserSight: Formerly had one on his rifle.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: [[spoiler: He didn't actually kill Andy Diggle. HIVE gave him special ammo that merely made it look liked he was dead, and Floyd was none the wiser.]]
* MoeGreeneSpecial: He takes an ''arrow'' to his high-tech eyepatch. Subverted, however, as he returns alive in "Dead to Rights".
* MoralityChain: "Suicide Squad" reveals that he has a daughter, Zoe, to whom most of his money goes, though he stays far away from her so she'll have a normal life.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Duh.
* NeverFoundTheBody: While his death was mandated by DC, presumably so as not to conflict with the ''Film/SuicideSquad2016'' movie's version of the character, WordOfGod states that it was framed in such a way to leave his return a possibility should that restriction ever be lifted. The same Word of God also reiterates that he is off the table indefinitely however, so don't get your hopes up.
* NobleDemon: For a former PsychoForHire, Deadshot has a strong sense of honor and actively supports his daughter.
* NotSoDifferent: Season 3 reveals that he's a war veteran just like Diggle. Unlike him though, he did not adjust well upon returning to civilian life.
* PoisonedWeapons: His specialty. If it wasn't the bullets that killed you, it was the poison on them that did.
* ProfessionalKiller: So professional that when he has Diggle at his mercy, he expressly states that while he would love to kill Diggle and put his name next to his brother's, no-one's paying him for it, so Dig gets to live.
* PsychoForHire: He was one originally, but after surviving an arrow to the eye, he seems to have softened up a bit and works more professionally.
* RestrainingBolt: An explosive chip is put in his head when he joins Amanda Waller's Suicide Squad in order to keep him compliant on missions.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: In the comics, Deadshot is usually a Batman villain. JustifiedTrope as Deadshot has antagonized Green Arrow numerous times in the comics and they even reached FriendlyEnemy status around the time Floyd's daughter, Zoe was introduced.
* ShellShockedVeteran: Season 3 reveals that the war took a toll on his sanity.
* TattooedCrook: He tattoos the names of the people he's killed on his body, including Andy Diggle, Dig's brother.
* WorthyOpponent: Admires the Vigilante's work.

[[folder: Bronze Tiger]]
!!Ben Turner / Bronze Tiger
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bronze_tiger_arrow_2956.jpg]]
->'''Played By:''' Creator/MichaelJaiWhite

A highly skilled mercenary who utilizes bladed knuckles.
----
* AdaptationalWimp: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. He is undoubtedly badass in the show – being able to fight Oliver evenly and even wound him – but not as much as his comicbook counterpart, who is possibly the third greatest martial artist on Earth.

* BoxedCrook: He is offered a reduced sentence by Amanda Waller if he joins the Suicide Squad.
* BusCrash: Though it goes unstated in the show proper, he's absent in Season 3 because he was killed on one of the Squad's missions in the ''Arrow: Season 2.5'' comics.
* CharacterDeath: Got fatally stabbed in the gut by Khem-Adam in the tie-in comics.
* ColorCharacter: ''Bronze'' Tiger.
* DeadpanSnarker: He has his moments.
* LackOfEmpathy: He was tasked to retrieve the prototype EarthquakeMachine from the Season 1 finale during Season 2. When Oliver/The Arrow scolds him about what will happen if the machine falls into the wrong hands, he casually replied that he will get paid.
* ProfessionalKiller: Though, as the BloodKnight entry suggests, he may enjoy his job a little too much.
* RestrainingBolt: An explosive chip is put in his head when he joins Amanda Waller's Suicide Squad in order to keep him compliant on missions.
* ScaryBlackMan: Just ''look'' at him.
* SecondEpisodeIntroduction: Debuted on the second episode of the second season.

!!Mark "Shrapnel" Scheffer
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shrapnel_arrow_9622.jpg]]
->'''Played By:''' Creator/SeanMaher

A toy shop owner and radical extremist, Scheffer is a serial bomber who begins a campaign of terror across Starling City.
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the comics, Shrapnel looks monstrous.
* AdaptedOut: His comics counterpart is a living metal monster with SuperStrength and a HealingFactor. There is nothing remotely similar to this in ''Arrow''.
* BombThrowingAnarchists: He's part of an anti-government militia known as the Movement.
* BoxedCrook: He is recruited into the Suicide Squad by Amanda Waller, but he quickly bails the first opportunity he gets, which results in his death.
* DemolitionsExpert: He is a highly skilled bomb maker.
* KarmicDeath: He's killed by a bomb.
* KnightTemplar: Believes he is a valiant freedom fighter striking blows against an oppressive government.
* RestrainingBolt: One is put in his head when he joins Amanda Waller's Suicide Squad, and he takes the first opportunity to commit SuicideByCop rather than help her.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: In the comics, Shrapnel is a Doom Patrol or Outsiders villain.
* SacrificialLion: Killed off to demonstrate that Waller is not screwing around when it comes to the Suicide Squad.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: The reason he died.
* StrawNihilist: Almost every one of his lines is a proclamation about the meaninglessness of everything, and how it somehow justifies blowing people up.
* StupidEvil: He's not the most rational anarchist.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: He gets killed off pretty quickly in his second appearance.

[[folder: "Deranged Female Squad Member"]]
!!ComicBook/HarleyQuinn
->'''Played By:''' Cassidy Alexa
->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/TaraStrong

An "[[ExiledFromContinuity unnamed]]" female prisoner in A.R.G.U.S. -- though she couldn't be named onscreen for legal reasons, the show's producer confirmed that the character was intended to be Harley Quinn.
----
* TheCameo: All her appearances (including the deleted scene from "Unthinkable") are basically OneSceneWonder.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: She just disappeared after Season 2.
* TheFaceless: She's always shown from behind.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Deadshot and the other A.R.G.U.S. prisoners doesn't seem to like her.
* GirlishPigtails: Her hairstyle.
* LargeHam: You can tell from the way she speaks that she's ChewingTheScenery.
* MythologyGag: Her entire "characterization".
* NoNameGiven: To avoid lawsuits, but it's obvious who [[ComicBook/HarleyQuinn she's supposed to be]].
* RoleReprisal: Creator/TaraStrong voices her yet again.
* ThereAreNoTherapists: Apparently, she is. But it's probably not a good idea to go to her...
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Cupid]]
!! Carrie Cutter / Cupid
[[quoteright:342:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/carrie_cutter_7122.png]]
->'''Played By:''' Amy Gumenick

An insane former Starling City police officer who holds an obsession with the Arrow.
----
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: She uses a CodeName that starts with C while already having an AlliterativeName.
* AlliterativeName: '''C'''arrie '''C'''utter. Not as common as one would expect from a comicbook show.
* ArcherArchetype: As part of her obsession with the Arrow, she becomes very skilled with a bow.
* AxCrazy: Lyla thinks she may be even crazier than the last chick they had in the Suicide Squad, and that was '''Harley Quinn''', who was kept off of missions because she was too deranged. However Cupid isn't off her rocks crazy, just a needy Yandere vs batshit insane.
* BadassLongcoat: She has a leather trenchcoat as part of her gear.
* BareYourMidriff: Always clad in a crop top under a jacket.
* BigNo: When Deadshot dies.
* BoxedCrook: Oliver turns her over to the Suicide Squad because he doesn't believe Iron Heights is equipped to handle her.
* CuteAndPsycho: She's ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin; a cute woman who is also insane.
* DarkActionGirl: As a former SWAT member, besides her skills with a bow, she can hold her own in hand to hand combat with the Arrow.
* DistaffCounterpart: She deliberately mimic the Arrow's [[ArcherArchetype fighting style]].
* EvilRedhead: Flaming red hair and nuttier than a bag of Snickers.
* HasAType: She apparently falls for anyone who saves her life.
* LargeHam: Has a theatrical way of speaking.
* LaughablyEvil: It's sometimes hard to take her seriously with her rather perky, lovey-dovey demeanor, and even her arrowhead [[LogoJoke replacing the Arrow's arrowhead in the title]]. Despite this, she is very much a capable threat to the Arrow.
* MeaningfulBackgroundEvent: In "Guilty", she makes two appearances in the background before she fully shows up at the end. The first is outside the gym when the police are investigating the dead body, and the second is her walking behind Diggle's van outside the club into which Oliver and Ted went.
* NotGoodWithRejection: She says this word for word when Oliver rebuffs her yet again.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: She wears an all black outfit with red accents and is an EvilRedhead to boot. Her arrows also matches the color scheme of her clothes.
* RescueRomance: How she (one-sidedly) fell in-love with the Arrow. And briefly, Deadshot.
* StalkerWithACrush: She becomes obsessed with the Arrow after he saves her from two of Deathstroke's soldiers during the events of the Season Two finale. She'd previously been one to her partner on the force, which her psychiatrist attributes to her being unable to form genuine romantic bonds.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: It's fairly obvious that the previous ''unnamed'' female squad member's [[{{Yandere}} characterisation]] has been tacked onto this one.
* WomanInBlack: Wears an all-black outfit [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver with red accents]]. This is actually a case of MovieSuperheroesWearBlack since her canonical outfit is green due to her obsession with Oliver.
* {{Yandere}}: She's completely obsessed with the Arrow and will hurt and kill anyone in order to be with him.

!!!Independent Villains

[[folder: Adam Hunt]]
!!Adam Hunt
->'''Played By:''' Brian Markinson

A CorruptCorporateExecutive that was on the list, and the first name that Oliver would end up crossing off the list. He also had ties to the Undertaking.
----
* BackForTheDead: After surviving the encounter with Oliver in the pilot, he disappeared throughout the season until the winter finale only to be killed by Malcolm in the opener.
* BaldOfEvil: He's bald and he's definitely evil.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He was fairly greedy and fairly amoral.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: Merlyn shot him in his second appearance. Few tears were shed.
* NotAfraidOfYouAnymore: When he thinks the Hood has come back to haunt him again, he attempts to defy his aggressor, arguing that he has nothing left to lose and no reason to be afraid. Unfortunately for him, it's not Oliver who returned to visit.
* NonActionGuy: His {{Mooks}} fight for him while he hides somewhere.
* StarterVillain: The first name in Oliver's hit-list to be crossed out as well as the show's very first VillainOfTheWeek.
* VillainOfTheWeek: For the pilot, though he would briefly appear afterwards.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Constantine Drakon]]
!!Constantine Drakon
->'''Played By:''' Darren Shahlavi

Head of security for Adam Hunt, the first name on the list that Oliver goes after.
----
* ArrowCatch: He is a proficient martial artist and is able to catch arrows in mid-air.
* TheDragon: To Adam Hunt.
* SharpDressedMan: Wears pretty decent clothing.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Only lasted through the pilot, despite being a recurring villain in the comics.

[[folder: China White]]
!!China White / Chien Na-Wei (简娜伟)
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/china_white_arrow_9506.jpg]]
->'''Played By''': Creator/KellyHu

A mercenary and assassin for the Starling City Triad. She takes it over following the death of her mentor Zhishan at the hands of The Huntress.
----
* AbusiveParents: In the supplementary comics, it is shown that her father used to beat her.
* AccidentalMisnaming: Because her name is TheUnpronouncable.
* BigBadEnsemble: She and Amanda Waller more or less act as this in the season 3 flashback story, despite our knowing [[ForegoneConclusion they both survive to the present day]].
* BreakingSpeech: Tries one on Oliver at the start of Season Two when he's finally able to pin her down for good. [[KirkSummation He throws it back in her face.]]
* CatchPhrase: "Anything for a friend".
* DarkActionGirl: Can fight the Hood on mostly even ground. She is also one of very few characters able to go toe-to-toe with Oliver for a decent length of time and keep pace. The only reason Oliver keeps winning is because of essentially small advantages such as China White fighting barefoot on broken glass without her knives.
* TheDragon: To Zhishan.
* DragonAscendant: Takes over the Triad after Zhishan is killed.
* DragonLady: A Chinese Triad leader and expert in martial arts. She doesn't dress in qipao, but still fits.
* TheDreaded: Enough that Amanda Waller was willing to shoot down a whole plane full of innocent people just to take her out in season 1's island storyline.
* KnifeNut:
** Not only does she use a knife for everyday things like executing a witness [[HeKnowsTooMuch who'd seen too much]], but when she goes to kill Laurel, she brings along gun-toting mooks -- not to shoot the target, but for the express purpose of corralling Laurel and Oliver so that she can use her knives on them.
** In "Vendetta", she's shown stabbing the hell out of someone with a knife, either for sheer enjoyment or just using the ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill approach.
* LadyOfWar: She's damn graceful with her knives and calmness in a fight.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: In "Identity", China White is glad to see that the Hood didn't die in the earthquake, as it would have deprived her of the chance to kill him herself.
* ParentalAbandonment: In the supplementary comics, her father and mother were both murdered by Zhishan, but she was spared by him because he saw potential in her. He later came back and recruited China into the Triad, offering her training and power.
* PutOnABus: Was arrested early in season 2, and didn't appear again until flashbacks in Season 3.
* SecondEpisodeIntroduction: Debuted on the second episode of the entire series.
* TheTriadsAndTheTongs: Head of the triads.
* TheUnpronouncable: Season 3 reveals that "China White" is just the closest Oliver can get to saying her real name.
** This is PlayedForLaughs but in the flashbacks Oliver eventually says her name right anyway. It isn't known why he pronounces it that way in Season 1.
* WeaponTwirling: She seemingly ''cannot'' use her knives on someone without twirling them first. This is the sole reason Diggle survives meeting her, as her twirling windup before ending him gives Oliver the time he needs to perform an [[ImprobableAimingSkills amazing]] long-range disarm.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: And after the Season One mid-season break, she has a pretty glamorous do.
* WomanInBlack: She's mostly wears [[IronicName black]].

[[folder: Frank Bertinelli]]
!!Frank Bertinelli
->'''Played By:''' Jeffrey Nordling

A prominent crime boss in Starling City and father of Helena.
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: Traditionally, his death (along with the rest of his family) is what drives Helena into becoming The Huntress. Here, Helena wants to kill him herself.
* AdaptationNameChange: Helena's father and the head of the fallen Bertinelli family in the comics is either named Guido (Huntress series) or the similarly named Franco (Cry For Blood).
* AffablyEvil: He first appears to be a typical BitchInSheepsClothing but he's eventually revealed to be very sadistic.
* ArchnemesisDad: Eventually becomes this to Helena.
* CompositeCharacter: Seems to be a combination of the [[SparedByTheAdaptation fallen]] head of the Bertinelli family and Santo Cassamento, Helena's biological father and ArchnemesisDad.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: He was unceremoniously killed in a gun fight, much to Helena's dismay.
* AFatherToHisMen: If his men shows him UndyingLoyalty, he will treat them as family.
* TheMafiya: He leads one.
* OpenMindedParent: He is, though he and his daughter have a ''very'' complicated relationship.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Played with. In the comics, the head of the Bertinelli family is revealed not to be Helena's biological father, but he raised her anyway. As far as we know, they're biologically related here.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Traditionally, he's a PosthumousCharacter that was part of Helena's DeathByOriginStory into becoming The Huntress. Here, he lived long enough to see become The Huntress before dying at the third quarter of Season 2.

[[folder: Helena Bertinelli]]
!![[ComicBook/{{Huntress}} Helena Bertinelli / Huntress]]
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/huntress_arrow_3664.jpg]]
->'''Played By:''' Jessica De Gouw

-> ''"Once you let the darkness inside, it never comes out."''

Daughter of crime boss Frank Bertinelli, Helena began a murderous crusade against her father's criminal empire after he had her fiancé murdered for planning to turn evidence over to the police, which had actually been Helena's plan. After a temporary alliance with Oliver, who tried to make her a less brutal and murderous vigilante, she fled Starling City once her identity was exposed and her father escaped custody and disappeared.
----
* AdaptationalModesty: Her Huntress costume covers a lot of her body compared to the Jim Lee comicbook version of her costume. This is hilariously lampshaded when she posed as a stripper wearing the Lee costume from the comics.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the comics, she's a dark antihero at the very worst (this varies depending on the continuity) and never a full-fledged villain, though she's still willing to use lethal force unlike most DCU heroes. Here, she's even more ruthless, killing innocent people and being willing to attack Oliver's loved ones in pursuit of her vendetta. When she returns in season two, however, the end of her episode implies she will [[TheAtoner atone for her past actions]] after her father had been killed by accident and not by her hands. Interestingly, the season two finale indicates that Oliver still thinks of her as a friend.
* AllForNothing: All those flying leaps over the MoralEventHorizon in the name of getting revenge on her father, and he's randomly killed before she can finish the job.
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: She possesses an aloof, even icy demeanor.
* AntagonisticOffspring: Eventually to Frank.
* AntiVillain: She wants her father, a mobster who had her fiancé murdered, to die. But her methods of getting it -- killing everyone in her path, including cops -- are not remotely acceptable.
* ArrowCatch: She manages to pull this off in "The Huntress Returns" after studying the move.
* AxCrazy: Borderline. She takes a bit too much pleasure in the thought of making her father suffer.
* BadassLongcoat: Her Huntress costume sports these.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Despite engaging in fierce bouts of hand-to-hand combat, Helena is never shown to suffer bruises, scrapes, swelling, or any other damage as a result.
* ALighterShadeOfBlack: Her feud with her father. [[WomanInBlack Quite literally]] too.
* BikerBabe: Often seen riding a motorcycle.
* BrokenBird: Her fiance was killed because he was mistaken for an FBI informant. In reality, ''she'' was the informant.
* CelebrityParadox: An episode of ''Series/TheFlash2014'' mentions ''Franchise/JurassicPark'', meaning the film franchise exists in this universe. Roughly a month after its SeasonFinale, ''Film/JurassicWorld'' made its world premiere and her former ''Series/{{Dracula}}'' co-star Creator/KatieMcGrath had a memorable role there.
* CelebrityResemblance: Diggle even points out that she looks remarkably like the T-Mobile Girl.
* ClarkKenting: She's worse than Oliver with this, as her outfit doesn't even include any headgear. Not that she cares.
* ColorMotif: She's heavily associated with purple.
* CreepyCoolCrosses: True to form, she has a lot of cross motifs.
* DarkActionGirl: By her third guest spot on the show, when the two previous ones were her developing into becoming one.
* DistaffCounterpart: Of the Hood, effectively. A lot of her first episode is highlighting how alike they are.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: See AloofDarkHairedGirl.
* FreudianExcuse: Her fiancé's murder sent her over the edge in a big way.
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Introduced wearing a purple dress.
* HellBentForLeather: As part of her "costume". Justified, as her "costume" is basically her motorcycle leathers and she isn't particularly interested in being a symbol like Oliver.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Despite only going after the mafia so far...well, let's just say there's a reason this entry is under the Villains heading.
* IgnoredEpiphany: Oliver tries to show her how to accomplish her mission without killing people. It doesn't take.
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: Her original M.O. was drive-by shootings, which caused her to wound innocent bystanders. She wasn't much better with bows and arrows but does quite well with her crossbow.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: As of "The Huntress Returns", she's taken to torturing Oliver's friends and threatening his family to try to force him to help her kill her father. She also kills numerous cops.
* KnightTemplar: Her father is evil. Her father must suffer and die. What do you mean, further moral considerations?
* TheLostLenore: She's deeply affected by her fiancee's murder.
* MafiaPrincess: The daughter of the head of the Bertinelli crime family.
* MeaningfulEcho: Much like Oliver, her first real appearance occurs as a result of a family member (or his [[TheDragon Dragon]] in this case) having her and a friend abducted. Likewise, the encounter ends with all kidnappers dead, the last one with a NeckSnap and the words "No-one can know my secret."
* MsFanservice: Especially in the opener to "The Huntress Returns", where she pretends to be a stripper in order to get at her father's lawyer.
* MyGreatestFailure: Zig-zagged. She originally thought her fiancé, Michael Staton, was killed because her father was just that brand of evil. Then TheDragon reveals that he was killed because he was an informant for the FBI. Then she reveals that TheDragon killed the wrong person -- ''she'' was the informant.
* NotSoDifferent: She says as much to the Hood when he appears out of costume in her apartment. He only really disagrees on her motivation and her eagerness to kill.
* PsychoExGirlfriend: Lampshaded by Diggle in "The Huntress Returns", and repeated by Felicity in the same episode.
* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: She was trained by Oliver, who'd hoped to turn her into a partner. However, her focus on revenge and eagerness to kill drove them apart.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Specifically asked Oliver to put purple in her costume.
* PygmalionSnapBack: What happens despite Oliver's best efforts.
* RavenHairIvorySkin: Pale skin, dark hair and undeniably beautiful.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Played with. In the comics, the head of the Bertinelli family is revealed not to be her biological father, but he raised her anyway. As far as we know, they're biologically related here.
* {{Revenge}}: Her primary motivation is that the mob killed her fiancé.
* SamusIsAGirl: Initially seen only in a motorcycle jumpsuit and helmet.
* SecretIdentity: She [[NeckSnap maintains one ruthlessly]]. She also wears a biker helmet and outfit as a disguise, at least initially.
* ShadowArchetype: To Oliver.
* StatuesqueStunner: She stands 5'8.
* {{Stripperific}}: Parodied. In one scene, she goes undercover as a stripper...[[SelfDeprecation wearing her costume from the comics]].
* TallDarkAndSnarky: She's 5'8, which is tall for a woman. And she's very, ''very'' blunt.
* TookALevelInBadass: In her first couple of episodes, she was a normal woman with a gun and a vendetta. By the time of "The Huntress Returns," she could pull off an ArrowCatch. By the time of "Birds of Prey," she was more or less a match for the Canary in hand-to-hand combat. The tie-in comics reveal that after she left Starling City, she went to train with a secret order of assassins in Sicily.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Was not pleased when somebody else killed her father.
* VengeanceFeelsEmpty: Even though her father didn't die by her hand, his death didn't make her feel any better.
* VillainousBreakdown: Of the calm variety, in "Birds of Prey". After her father is accidentally killed in the crossfire while she's fighting the Canary, the realization that she'll never get to finish her revenge causes her to submit to being arrested.
* WomanInBlack: Her Huntress costume, though it has purple accents. Obviously doubles as MovieSuperheroesWearBlack.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Though not so much woobie after "The Huntress Returns", when she really crosses the line. Cemented with her breakdown in "Birds of Prey". It isn't hard to feel for her as she breaks down after her father's death and her resulting arrest.
* YouWouldntShootMe: To Oliver in "The Huntress Returns". She's wrong, but fortunately for her, she can pull off an ArrowCatch.

----
* AdaptedOut: Unlike the comics (and despite the MeaningfulName), there is no Ten of Spades in the group at any point
* AntiVillain: They were driven to rob banks after Derek was laid off from a Queen Industries plant.
* DeathEqualsRedemption: King dies by TakingABullet for Ace and tells The Hood that it's his fault for turning his son into a criminal.
* {{Determinator}}: Kyle/The Ace of Spades was able to take an arrow to his chest (without padding), break it, and keep going to fight Oliver.

A former firefighter, Lynns was horribly burned in a massive apartment fire, having stayed behind while the rest of his unit fell back under orders from their chief. Feeling betrayed, he began hunting down members of his former unit for revenge.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: Not heroic by any stretch of the means, but his "broken man with nothing left but revenge" characterization and motives (which, while very understandable, are also quite misguided) are a far cry from his comic book counterpart, who is a [[AxCrazy maniac]] who is driven solely by pyromania.
* FallenHero: Once an honorable fire fighter, now a broken man thirsty for revenge.
* KillItWithFire: His modus operandi.
* LeftForDead: His StartOfDarkness.
* {{Pyromaniac}}: Played with. He doesn't seem to enjoy setting things on fire, but uses it as his go-to weapon.

->'''Played By:''' Seth Gabel

->''"I'm Count Vertigo, and I approve this high!"''

A psychotic drug dealer who invented Vertigo, a new deadly and potent narcotic sweeping through the streets of Starling City.
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Count Vertigo is usually blonde. Here, he's brunette.
* AgeLift: The Count is usually portrayed as an evil middle-aged man or BadassGrandpa. Here, he's in his 30s based on the actor's age.
* AndStarring: Always receives an "And" billing in the guest star lineup.
* AxCrazy: When he realizes that the Arrow has adopted a ThouShaltNotKill policy, he remarks that "You're missing out on one of life's great pleasures."
* BadassLongcoat: Most of his outfits.
* BadBoss: He testes his drugs on his own {{Mooks}}.
* CelebrityParadox: Several works involving his actor's family members have been mentioned throughout the Franchise/{{Arrowverse}}.
** Tommy mentioned ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' in the PilotEpisode, while ''Series/TheFlash2014'' mentioned both ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' and ''Franchise/JurassicPark''. His actor's [[Creator/BryceDallasHoward real life wife]] plays the BigBad of ''Eclipse'', and the female lead of both ''Film/TerminatorSalvation'' and ''Film/JurassicWorld''.
** ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' also mentions ''Series/HappyDays'', while ''Series/TheFlash2014'' mentions ''Film/ABeautifulMind''. His RealLife [[Creator/RonHoward father-in-law]] was part of the former's main cast and directed the latter.
* CharacterDeath: In Episode Seven of Season Two, from three arrows to the chest and a fall out of a very high window onto a car. This guy's ''not'' coming back.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Much more "street" than his comics counterpart.
* DeathBySecretIdentity: He deduces the Arrow's identity after Felicity investigates him and he remembers Oliver posing as a Vertigo buyer. One phone call to Oliver warning him that he holds Felicity hostage later, he ends up with three arrows in the torso and a ticket for DestinationDefenestration.
* DisneyVillainDeath: If Oliver's arrows didn't kill him, falling from the top floor of Queen Consolidated certainly did.
* DrivenToMadness: How he's defeated in Season One. He [[UnexplainedRecovery gets better]] by the time of the Undertaking, and fully returns in Season Two.
* FantasticDrug: Invented one called Vertigo.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He can be surprisingly polite on occasion, but it's only an act.
* ForTheEvulz: Likes to inflict pain on his victims by injecting pure Vertigo into their bloodstreams, which affects the thalamus and makes them feel like their entire body is wracked with pain. Then he hands them a gun with one bullet:
-->'''The Count:''' One bullet in the chamber. Who are you gonna kill? You... or me?
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Oliver defeats him in Season One by injecting him with a large dose of his own drug.
* LargeHam: Seth Gabel was [[ChewingTheScenery clearly having a blast playing this guy]]. He even admits to taking influence from ComicBook/TheJoker.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUql0yOWWjo "The Count"]].
* MadScientist: His experiments to create Vertigo killed 56 people, mostly hookers and the homeless. He views this as a measure of its value, comparing it to a wine's value being measured by its age.
* NoNameGiven: He's only ever referred to as The Count or Count Vertigo.
* ObfuscatingInsanity: Subverted. At the beginning of "Unfinished Business", he appears to break out of the mental institution where he was being held. Then it seems that he may have faked his escape. Upon investigation, it turns out that his escape was entirely faked by the doctors to divert suspicion away from themselves. The Count is really just insane. However, he gets better in Season Two.
* SadisticChoice: He injects test subjects with Vertigo, and gives them a pistol with one bullet. They can choose to kill him or themselves. Everyone takes the suicide option.
* TheSociopath: All in all, he's a dick with no regard to the feelings of others and a guy who gets a rush from killing.
* VillainousFriendship: With The Dollmaker.
* YouHaveFailedMe: Injects mooks that have failed him with Vertigo.

----
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: He certainly feels so.
* CelebrityParadox: Season 2 of ''Series/TheFlash2014'' mentions ''Series/IZombie''. His actor is part of that show's main cast.
* CountingBullets: Or Counting Arrows in any event. He knows the Hood only had 24 arrows in his quiver, so he sends 25 henchmen.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Casually murders his lawyer within the first five minutes of his screen time.
* EvilPowerVacuum: When Vanch gets out of prison, he tries to earn the respect to take over by killing Arrow since after the Huntress' murder of the Triad boss, and Frank Bertinelli's arrest, the leadership of Starling City's organized crime is up for grabs.

->'''Played By:''' James Callis

A international jewel thief who attaches bomb collars to his victims and uses them to carry out his crimes.
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the comics, he is a LovableRogue AntiVillain who [[DatingCatwoman dates Mia]]. In the series he's a ruthless SmugSnake who gives his hostages explosive collars.
* AffablyEvil: He seems rather polite, given what he does to his "henchpeople". While some villains would [[YouHaveOutLivedYourUsefulness deal with them once their deeds were done]], he doesn't. Dodger wouldn't kill them afterwards but merely knock 'em out. The only people he has killed was an art dealer who tries to screw him over, and a hostage in Madrid who refused to cooperate.
* BadassInANiceSuit: Always wears a suit in his heists (Or rather, when he make someone else do it for him).
* BondOneLiner: Says one to guy who tried to backstab him before killing him.
* DecompositeCharacter: Much of Dodger's more positive qualities were instead incorporated into Roy Harper; specifically being a thief who dates Thea (this show's stand-in for Mia).
* EvilBrit: British, and a VillainOfTheWeek.
* ExplosiveLeash: How he gets his hostages to work for him, and he lets them go if they do as he says.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: His ''other'' signature move is to zap people unconscious. When he tries to use it on Oliver...

!!"The Savior" / Joseph Falk
->'''Played By:''' Christopher Redman

A former computer technician and resident of the Glades whose wife was murdered, causing him to embark on a murderous crusade against those he believes are responsible for the living conditions there.
----
* CrusadingWidower: A villainous example. He lets his wife's murder be his StartOfDarkness and he never looked back.
* EvilCounterpart: To Oliver. A vigilante trying to save his home, the Glades, by hunting down those he believes have wronged it...except he's less interested in saving and more in avenging, his victims aren't so clearly deserving, and rather than offering his targets a last chance to right their wrongs, he has them plead their case for their lives on live streaming video before invariably executing them anyway, since he's already decided they're guilty.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Claims he goes after criminals, when he's a criminal; killing innocent people in cold blood and acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
* JudgeJuryAndexecutioner: How he views himself.
* KnightTemplar: He really believes that he's doing the right thing.
* NotSoDifferent: He makes this claim to Oliver, but in a way, he's more like Malcolm, just without the funding behind him.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: His intention. Except he considers a district attorney who chose not to take a case to trial for lack of evidence and a conflicted bit-part criminal barely out of his teens to be as worthy of public execution as a slumlord whose corruption has caused multiple deaths.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: His vigilantism comes across less as a calculated attempt to save the Glades and more as an extended version of this for his wife's murder; two of the three people he's seen targeting are the DA who chose not to prosecute his wife's murder and a young criminal he views as identical to the thugs who killed her, rather than more dangerous criminals.
* SnuffFilm: His modus operandi.
* VigilanteMan: And unlike Oliver, he ''really'' has lost it. He goes around executing people for petty reasons.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Edges between this trope and KnightTemplar. He really does desire to save the city, but is horribly misguided and takes it out on the wrong people more often than not.

->'''Played By:''' Creator/JAugustRichards

An assassin hired by corrupt businessman Edward Rasmus to kill a family planning on suing him. Mr. Blank dislikes anybody seeing his face, and prides himself on always finishing his job, even if his employer no longer wants it done.
----
* BadassInANiceSuit: Dressed impeccably.
* BadassLongcoat: Usually comes with his aforementioned nice suit.
* CelebrityParadox: Thea alludes to ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'' in the second annual {{Crossover}} with ''Series/TheFlash2014'' which WordOfGod would later confirm. This means that the ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' exists in the Franchise/{{Arrowverse}}. His actor plays Deathlok on ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD''.
* DissonantSerenity: His voice is always calm and measured, even while he's committing murder or stalking a victim. As an example, when he kills his employer, he sounds like he's chatting about the weather.
* DragonAscendant: He spends most of his episode as TheDragon to Rasmus, but when Rasmus becomes a liability he kills his boss and becomes the final threat of the episode.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He is never anything other than polite to his victims, including politely talking to his employer as he murders him via a PressurePoint.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Oliver takes him out with a fireplace poker after a vicious fight.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Would you really want to deal with someone named Mr. Blank?
* PressurePoint: He's able to induce a deadly embolism in someone just by pressing their wrist.
* ProfessionalKiller: He's an assassin.
* SharpDressedMan: He may be a cold-blooded killer, but he looks good doing it.
* TrojanHorse: He forces some poor delivery boy to get him to the Queen mansion. Surprisingly for TV, the RedShirt bodyguard realizes this pretty quickly, not that it does him any good.
* WouldHurtAChild: He spends most of the episode trying to hunt down and kill Tyler.

A insane serial killer who likes to target young and beautiful women and fill them with a polymer to "preserve" them forever.
----
* ArchEnemy: For Quentin. The feeling is very mutual.
* BeardOfEvil: The goatee adds to his creepiness certainly.
* CatchPhrase: [[TermsOfEndangerment "You have such beautiful skin..."]]
* CharacterDeath: Courtesy of the Canary.
* CrucifiedHeroShot: The Inverted version of the normal trope -- right as he's about to kill the Canary, Oliver shoots him with two arrows (at once!), and he ends up with his arms outstretched, kind of pinned by the arrows.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Kills his victims by pouring a polymer down their throats, essentially slowly drowning them while they're helpless and strapped to a table.
* DeathByAdaptation: The Dollmaker didn't die in the comics or any adaptation.
* FourEyesZeroSoul: The glasses merely add to the creepy effect.
* ItsPersonal: Towards Quentin. The feeling is very mutual.
-->'''Quentin:''' I am the one who put you away. She (Laurel) has nothing to do with it!
-->'''Mathis:''' She has everything to do with it! She's your world, she's your very soul! You know, I could kill you, I could maim you, I could slice you up into a thousand pieces, but if your soul remains intact, what have I won? Huh? Nothing!

A former encryption engineer at Kord Enterprises, Tockman turned to a life of crime using his computer skills and excellent timing after being diagnosed with [=MacGregor's=] Syndrome, needing money quickly in order to ensure his ill sister is taken care of once he dies. See also his tropes from [[Characters/TheFlash2014NonMetaHumanCriminals The Flash]], which take place after this.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: Despite dying from [=MacGregor's=] Syndrome, this Clock King is far more proactive than his usual "able to sense time" shtick.
* AntiVillain: A dying man who's desperate to get his hands on enough money to save his sister before he goes.
* BadassBoast: See the quote above. He gives one when he hacks into the Foundry, destroying their computer systems, and taunts Felicity as he does so.
* BerserkButton: Never '''''EVER''''' mess up his time-accounted plans, or he ''will'' kill you for it, as one {{Mook}} learned the hard way when Tockman stabbed him to death with a [[ImprobableWeaponUser minute hand]].
* CelebrityParadox: ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' is eventually revealed to exist in this universe. The show includes his former ''Series/PrisonBreak'' co-star Creator/SarahWayneCallies.
* TheChessmaster: Things must go precisely on schedule, but he is capable of improvising well if need be.
* ClockKing: The TropeNamer. Everything must go precisely on schedule.
* CompositeCharacter: He has both the gadget use of the William Tockman version and the time-precision skill of the Temple Fugate version.
* TheCracker: Making him something of an EvilCounterpart to Felicity.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Committed his robberies in order to fund a life-saving operation for his sister.
* EvilCounterpart: To Felicity. She commits hacks to aid Oliver, he commits crimes to save his dying sister.
* EvilGenius: He is an expert hacker and meticulous planner who can plan things down to the second, but also adapt on the fly.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Felicity knocks him out by using the same virus he used against her computers to make his phone blow up.
* IncurableCoughOfDeath: A symptom of [=MacGregor's=] Syndrome.
* LargeHam: Knepper is surely having a ball as Tockman.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Tockman has an unofficial but fitting one that carries over into his appearance in ''The Flash'', which mainly comprises of ominous chords, ticking, and the bell of a grandfather clock.
* MythologyGag: [=MacGregor's=] Syndrome is the same disease Nora Fries and Alfred suffer from in ''Film/BatmanAndRobin''.
* PragmaticVillainy: Possibly with EvenEvilHasStandards - Tockman has no problem whatsoever putting people in harm's way to hurt or divert his enemies, but he ''hates'' unnecessary violence or casualties and arranges his plans without such complications. Every time he hears shooting that he didn't direct, he absolutely loses it because it means a plan has gone off the rails.
* SoapOperaDisease: He's dying of [[Film/BatmanAndRobin MacGregor's Syndrome]].

The second Count, who gathered a band of criminals in the wake of the Arrow's cleaning up of Starling's criminal network. He tinkered with the original Count's Vertigo formula to make it even more potent and dangerous.
----
* AdaptationNameChange: Inverted. While the first Count's name was unknown, this one goes by the name of the ''New 52'' comics character.
* AxCrazy: His EstablishingCharacterMoment has him taking over leadership of his gang by stabbing a fellow criminal in the neck with a Vertigo dart, tormenting him for a bit, then stabbing him more fatally, followed up with a vow to kill the Arrow. Quentin Lance even calls him "a real nutbar".
* BeardOfEvil: He's actually rather similar in appearance to Barton Mathis/the Dollmaker, sans the glasses.
* BreakingSpeech: He declares that there will always [[AsLongAsThereisEvil be another Count]] to take his place when Oliver captures him.
* CelebrityParadox: An episode of ''Series/TheFlash2014'' mentions ''Franchise/JurassicPark''. While it wasn't stated which specific film, Peter Stormare was on ''Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark''. Additionally, ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' is eventually revealed to exist in this universe, a show which includes his former ''Series/PrisonBreak'' co-star Creator/SarahWayneCallies.
* CrazyPrepared: In his first appearance, he had some shades of this but by his second, he manages to escape from custody by endangering a reporter's family, who blows himself up in order to kill the Arrow, and later, Zytle tries to do the same with hostages he had using to create Vertigo to escape from the Arrow and also him as well.
* CulturedBadass: He recites lines from classical literature and has appreciation for classical music.
* {{Expy}}: He's pretty much [[ComicBook/{{Batman}} Scarecrow]] with a different name, rather than any version of Count Vertigo, even more so than the first one.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Despite being a total sadist and as ruthless as his predecessor, Zytle is a cultured and polite individual, though it's mostly an act.
* IKnowWhatYouFear: He tinkered with the original formula of Vertigo so that the person drugged sees their greatest fear.
* LegacyCharacter: For the original Count.
* {{Leitmotif}}: He's constantly heard whistling "In the Hall of the Mountain King".
* NoKillLikeOverkill: He tries to kill Oliver by blowing up the restaurant he was in with a bazooka. He subsequently attempts to kill the remaining gang leaders of Starling City by blowing up the entire stadium they were in.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: Werner does not mess around. When he tries to kill the Arrow, he does so with an RPG. When confronting the Arrow, he sneaks up on him, disorients him with a forced drug dosage, and then goes straight for knockout attacks. When trying to eliminate rival mob bosses, he does so with a huge stinkin' bomb on a timer that barely allows him and his goons to get to safety.
* VillainBall: His usual NoNonsenseNemesis act goes out the window a bit when he's fighting Laurel. Granted, she was a rookie and he had a bit of leeway, but it ended up costing him.

He was recruited by the NSA for his computer skills, but his time working for them warped him and turned him into a cold ruthless anarchist.

* CreateYourOwnVillain: As it turns out, the Brother Eye group has a history with Felicity, which she inadvertently helped create. It was the virus that she wrote five years ago that ended up getting its leader, Cooper, sent to jail. As her boyfriend he took the blame to protect her, but then was recruited by the NSA where he was forced to do unspeakable things that warped him into a cynical, ruthless monster.

Among other things he waltzed into A.R.G.U.S's Starling branch, took out an entire squad of heavily armed security guards without having to break his stride, and was able to fight Roy and Oliver simultaneously. The crowner was when he broke into the Foundry and nearly succeeded in killing Lyla.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: A dark-skinned former Australian intelligence agent, but doesn't have the accent. It's not really clear where he's from (but Nick Tarabay is Lebanese American).
* BadassLongcoat: A particularly awesome looking black coat which hides all his boomerangs.
* BattleBoomerang : His weapon of choice.
* CelebrityParadox:
** Since ''Film/TheTerminator'' is acknowledged in an episode of ''Series/TheFlash2014'', it likely means that [[Franchise/{{Terminator}} the film franchise]] exists in this universe. Over a month after its SeasonFinale, ''Film/TerminatorGenisys'' made its world premiere and one of its leads is played by his former ''Series/{{Spartacus}}'' co-star Jai Courtney [[note]] ironically, Courtney will play his Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse counterpart [[/note]].
** An episode of ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' mentions the ''Franchise/StarTrek'' franchise. His actor was on ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness''.
* CrazyPrepared: One major reason why he's so dangerous. When A.R.G.U.S. and Team Arrow track him down to a suburban house, he had the place rigged to blow to take care of anyone who might be looking for him. But the icing on the cake is when he threatened Ollie to let him escape Starling otherwise he'd set off five bombs spread around the city, all designed to explode if they weren't defused at the ''exact same time''. It took the entirety of Team Arrow ''and'' Team Flash to deactivate them all.
* ItsPersonal: Wants revenge on Lyla.
-->'''Harkness''': Know what I like most about boomerangs, Lyla? They're proof that things can come back to haunt you! You had a bomb for the back of my head. I have a little something special for the back of ''yours''.
* KnifeNut: Due to his padded gloves he can use his razor sharp boomerangs as knives and is quite sufficient at it.
* NervesOfSteel: This is probably because he always has a [[CrazyPrepared contingency plan]] in case of complications. He walks with the air of someone who is in complete control of his situation. He strolls into the A.R.G.U.S. with nothing but a coat full of boomerangs, and when he makes his escape from Starling City he's seen whistling and when Oliver and Barry threaten to take him down he laughs in their faces. The only times he gets flustered is when Barry enters the equation, the only variable he doesn't account for.
* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Boomerang in the comics is Australian, but while Harkness here was former ASIS he doesn't have the accent.
* ProfessionalKiller: One of his many services.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Looking for the A.R.G.U.S agent, Lyla Michaels, that gave the order to leave him to die and a squad of A.R.G.U.S. security guards, Team Arrow and the Flash will not stand in his way.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: In a sense. While Boomerang is a Flash villain and both appear in ''The Brave and the Bold'', he is largely the focus of the Arrow side of the crossover story and only appears in their show (with one of his boomerangs being examined in the crossover).

[[folder: Brick]]
!!Danny "Brick" Brickwell
[[quoteright:339:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arrow_danielbrickwell.JPG]]
->'''Played by:''' Vinnie Jones

->''"You take me down, you walk out alive. I don't fancy your chances though."''

A gang leader renowned for having survived being shot on multiple occasions, he recruits an army of criminals to take over the Glades.
----
* AndStarring: Always appeared with a "Special Guest Star" citation.
* AnnoyingArrows: Averted. Arrows are actually more effective than bullets against him.
* ArcVillain: While not technically the BigBad, he does put the Glades under siege and acts as the biggest threat to Team Arrow during Oliver's [[Recap/ArrowS3E10LeftBehind three]] [[Recap/ArrowS3E11MidnightCity episode]] [[Recap/ArrowS3E12Uprising absence]] after his near fatal duel with Ra's Al-Ghul.
* BadassBoast: See above quote. Leads immediately to NoHoldsBarredBeatdown below.
* BadassLongcoat: Wears a black duster.
* BadBoss: More often than not, his targets (see No-Holds-Barred Beatdown) are usually a person who's [[YouHaveFailedMe failed him]].
* BaldOfEvil: His morality disappeared with his hair.
* BloodKnight: He enjoys brutal fights with his opponents.
* BreakTheHaughty: After steamrolling over most of the Glades and most people that fight him, Malcolm Merlyn runs up to him and starts beating the shit out of him almost effortlessly.
* TheBrute: He becomes the muscle behind Damien Darhk in the second half of Season 4.
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Merlyn plans to kill him by shooting him with his own gun, the same one he used on his wife Rebecca. But he doesn't know who he's talking about, since he's killed many people with that gun. When he reminds him, he remembers her as the "brunette", his first kill as part of an initiation to join a gang.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Able to NoSell a [[BoomHeadshot bullet to the head]]. He's not a metahuman or a Mirakuru soldier. He's just really ''really'' tough.
* CoveredInScars: From his multiple bullet wounds.
* DarkIsEvil: He starts wearing black after joining HIVE.
* [[DemotedToDragon Demoted to Brute]]: He returns in Season 4, now acting as TheBrute to Damien Darhk.
* EarlyBirdCameo: His name appears on the List a couple of years before appearing on the show.
* EvilBrit: Played by Vinnie Jones.
* {{Expy}}: To Bane from the The Dark Knight Rises. Both are bald, muscular leaders who enjoy killing failed underlings with their bare hands and are played by famous British actors. They're both known by short words beginning with B, which could both be used as terms for violence. Brick tries to take over Starling City when the hero is put of commission by the league, similar to that film.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Can put on a seemingly good natured façade in front of people, such as during his meeting with the mayor during "Midnight City", buts it's pretty clear he doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself and can snap at a moments notice.
* InitiationCeremony: He fondly remembers his first initiation into a gang, where he had to kill some person to prove his worth. Unfortunately for everyone involved, that person was Rebecca Merlyn.
* LargeAndInCharge: He towers over his posse.
* LuckyBastard: No superpowers were involved in his famed resilience - dude's just got a horseshoe up his ass.
* MadeOfIron: Famous in-universe for having shrugged off multiple bullet wounds.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: His preferred method of murder is to give his target a chance to shoot him (with his own gun), and then deliver one of these ''when, not if,'' they fail to take him down.
* RaceLift: In the comics, Brick is a metahuman who was black before his powers made him look like living brick. In the New 52, that shifts to him being an African American man. Here, he has no visible mutations and is played by a white actor. Also, he goes from American to British.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Although Brick hasn't been mentioned since being named on the List, Roy mentions that he knew Brick and his gang while living in the Glades when he hadn't been mentioned at all in the show until that point.
* TheSociopath: Brick doesn't care one bit about other people, even his supposed friends he will kill without hesitation [[YouHaveFailedMe if they fail him]]. This is made most obvious during his confrontation with Malcolm where while he admits that he had to kill someone in order to be initiated into a gang, he mostly killed Rebecca because he couldn't stand her crying and thought she was weak.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: His act of murdering Rebecca Merlyn was what led to all of the events in ''Arrow'' to occur.
* StupidEvil: Felicity mentions how stupid his practice of always using the same exact pistol is, as it makes it easier for the police to track him and for her to find out he killed Malcolm's wife.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: He makes it no secret that he despises working under Damien Darhk, but carries out his orders anyway just to ensure his own safety.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: During a gang initiation he had to murder someone for the first time in his life. He happened to choose Rebecca Merlyn, whose death would drive her husband to turn himself into an assassin, murder his best friend Robert Queen (an act that created the Arrow (Oliver), Canary (Sara), Deathstroke (Slade) and a host of others), and [[RevengeBeforeReason destroy most of the Glades for his vengeance against the said murder.]] It can be said without exaggeration that that he set every tragedy in the series in motion.
* WouldHitAGirl: Killed Malcolm's wife off-screen and fought Laurel a few times on-screen.

A criminal who was originally sent to Iron Heights on a false confession, gunning for revenge on the SCPD for putting him away.
----
* TheBrute: Becomes this to HIVE.
* DemotedToDragon: He joins up with Damien Darhk, but acts more as TheBrute.
* LeanAndMean: He's skinny and a murderous gangster.
* MouthStitchedShut: Where his street name comes from. It's never specified how it happened, but it's implied that it was self-inflicted. Felicity mentions that lip sewing is a form of meditation and discipline and one of the possible reasons why his mouth is that way.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: He and Damien Darhk are actually relatives in this series.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: Murmur is one of Flash's rogues in the comics.
* TheSpeechless: His mouth has quite literally been sewn shut. He gives orders through a mook who's his MouthOfSauron.
* TookALevelInBadass: He goes from being a common VillainOfTheWeek into TheBrute for Damien Darhk.

A meta-human who has the ability to shoot plasma though his eyes and absorb electricity. He's already a notorious bank robber before gaining his powers. Later transplanted to Central City. For his time there, [[Characters/TheFlash2014Metahumans go here]].
----
* ApologeticAttacker: Apologizes to Felicity before telling her he's going to kill her.
* BadassLongcoat: His initial attire.
* BusCrash: [[spoiler:Captain Cold killed him on ''Series/TheFlash2014'', so don't expect him to come back.]]
* EnergyAbsorption: His main defensive power.
* EyeBeams: His other main offensive power.
* LeanAndMean: He is skinny and is quite an ass.
* OutsideContextProblem: Zigzagged. He is certainly not the first metahuman villain in the Arrowverse, but he ''is'' one for Team Arrow who usually deal with {{Badass Normal}}s with the exception of Slade, and even then he didn't have the same powers like other metahumans. [[spoiler:He is however the first metahuman who did not receive his powers from the Particle Accelerator and how he got his powers is ''still'' a mystery.]]
* PlasmaCannon: His main offensive power.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: His eyes becomes red before shooting his EyeBeams.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: Deathbolt is an ComicBook/AllStarSquadron villain in the comics. Counts as InUniverse too, as he was transplanted to [[Series/TheFlash2014 Central City]] upon defeat.
* SunglassesAtNight: Wears this as a disguise. Lampshaded by Felicity.
* UrExample: InUniverse example. He is the very first villainous metahuman to appear on this show.

->'''Played by:''' Alexander Calvert

A former hitman who attempts to ingratiate himself to The HIVE by forcing Jessica Danforth to drop her candidacy for mayor at their behest, by any means necessary. However, his extreme and sloppy methods prove too much for even Darhk and he is cast out. After being defeated by Team Arrow, he escapes into the city leaving behind a trail of blood...
----
* AdaptationalBadass: Compared to comics. Crazy and sloppy though he may be, he's capable of taking on multiple members of Team Arrow (including Ollie himself) at once without really being exhausted by the effort.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the comics Anarky is an AntiVillain who often zig zags through the HeelFaceRevolvingDoor, [[WellIntentionedExtremist taking extreme measures to accomplish what he thinks are justified goals]] but also willingly helping his enemies do good should the need arise. This version is a chaotic murderer who is willing to kill or torture to impress the HIVE.
* AnarchyIsChaos: Espouses this view, which is ironic, considering that his comics counterpart is a deconstruction of that idea.
* AppropriatedAppelation: Darhk derisively deems his actions more befitting anarchy than the HIVE's desire for order. At the end, Machin leaves behind an anarchistic symbol to show that he has adopted this as his philosophy.
* {{Archenemy}}: Becomes a recurring villain for Thea.
* AxCrazy: He was ultimately deemed too violently nuts for his old bosses before. After taking a closer look at him, even Darhk deems the guy too much and breaks off ties with him.
* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: [[spoiler: He did what Team Arrow was too reluctant to do and destroy Darhk's underground city and murder their long time enemy Ruve Adams.]]
* TheBadGuyWins: Though he fails to impress the HIVE and gets set on fire for his trouble, he succeeds in keeping Danforth from running for mayor and escapes to fight another day. [[spoiler: Then he successfully destroys Darhk's underground secret society and kills Ruve Adams.]]
* BodyHorror: [[spoiler: Half of his body was ''burned'' by Thea.]]
* ColdBloodedTorture: He submits multiple people to brutal torture ForTheEvulz.
* CombatPragmatist: Oh, so much. He's willing to use the rescue of a hostage as a distraction so he can get the jump on Thea and Oliver, as well as use a hidden flamethrower to try and roast them.
* CombatSadomasochist: He enjoys it when Thea hits him.
* CompositeCharacter: Though he bears the name Lonnie Machin, this version of the character draws much of his personality from Ulysses Armstrong, the second Anarky.
* EnemyMine: Oliver helps Anarky escape prison so he can kill Damien Darhk. However, Oliver realizes what he did was wrong an tries to stop him later.
* EvilMakesYouUgly: [[spoiler: He ends up seriously burned.]]
* EvilVersusEvil: He develops a [[{{Pun}} burning hatred]] against Damien Darhk and tries executing his family. [[spoiler: He eventually succeeds at murdering Darhk's wife.]]
* {{Expy}}: Anarky has clear [[ComicBook/TheJoker Joker]] parallels in this portrayal, not limited to but definitely including his general demeanor and habits while "working." Fittingly, the comics' Lonnie Machin was once revealed as the Joker's biological son.[[note]]Though this was later quietly retconned.[[/note]]
* FacialHorror: [[spoiler: He gets his face partly burnt.]]
* ForTheEvulz: His driving motivation is to spread anarchy.
* IronicName: His last name sounds like the word "machine", which is the antithesis of someone as [[ChaosIsEvil chaotic]] as him.
* KansasCityShuffle: Is a master of misdirection, nearly accomplishing his goals several times even when the heroes know he's coming by using a different avenue than they were expecting. The first time he tries to assassinate Danforth, he sets up an artificial gunman that was designed to fail - while he leads Danforth to her doom himself disguised as security. Another time, he sidesteps Ollie and the police entirely when they're protecting her by going for her daughter instead.
* KarmaHoudini: Gets away with his crimes in all his appearances in Season 4.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler: He coldly executes Damien Darhk's wife [[MayorPain Ruve Adams]].]]
* KillItWithFire: Attempts to burn Darhks family until Oliver arrives.
* MadeOfIron: [[spoiler: He was seriously burned,]] but still carries on his crimes.
* MalevolentMaskedMan: Dons a mask to [[spoiler: hide his burnt face.]]
* MurderTheHypotenuse: [[spoiler: He killed Thea's love interest Alex so she would have nobody in her life anymore.]]
* MythologyGag: Anarky's WeaponOfChoice is an electric baton, which also functions as an oversized nunchuck. This is Anarky's own WeaponOfChoice in the comics as well, though the comics version is simply a baton/walking stick. Unsurprisingly, he used a cattle prod in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamOrigins''. Good to know of the consistency.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: He's never considered "harmless", but he ultimately proves himself to be far more than just a recurring MonsterOfTheWeek by [[spoiler: infiltrating the Ark and destroying it, killing Ruvé in the process and thus driving Damien Darhk over the DespairEventHorizon]].
* ProfessionalKiller: In his backstory. He's also pulling a job for Darhk, more or less (Danforth doesn't necessarily ''have'' to die for Darhk to be satisfied, but that's the first thing Machin tries), but he's not doing it for money in this case.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: In the comics, he's a Batman villain.
* ShockAndAwe: His primary weapon is a stun stick.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He's simply a minor villain against Thea, but he ultimately [[spoiler: kills her love interest Alex and murders Darhk's wife Ruve Adams, triggering both of their [[DespairEventHorizon despair event horizons]].]]
* SmarterThanYouLook: He was able to infiltrate [[spoiler: Darhk's secret Genesis town and destroy it with artificial bombs.]]
* TheSociopath: Merlyn informs Thea that Anarky cannot be reasoned with at all due to his AxCrazy personality.
* TooKinkyToTorture: He's an absolute masochist and the thought of something trying to inflict pain on him only amuses him.
* TortureTechnician: After capturing Danforth's daughter and taking her to what appears to be his own torture room, he takes sadistic glee in making her believe he'll let her go before breaking her pinky. He then prepares to take out his irritations by torturing her to death.
* VillainHasAPoint: When Oliver goes back on their EnemyMine, he points out how Oliver is conflicted over his beliefs since he went from stopping Anarky to helping him escape prison to capturing him again.
* VillainousCrush: It's subtly implied that he has an obsession for Thea.
* WeaponOfChoice: A convertible Three-sectioned staff with a stun gun at one end. He's a master with it and it's huge reach gives him an advantage when he's fighting the bare-handed Green Arrow and Speedy.
* WouldHitAGirl: Attacks Thea and tortures a mayoral candidate's daughter. [[spoiler: He later personally executes Ruve Adams.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: He was attempting to kill Damien Darhks daughter.
* {{Yandere}}: He [[spoiler: killed Alex so Thea wouldn't have him anymore.]]
* YouKeepUsingThatWord: Machin seems to have little actual understanding of what anarchy really is, most often using it as a fancy word for chaos.

->'''Played by:''' J.R. Bourne

A meta-human who gained his ability due to being tattooed at the time of the particle accelerator explosion in Central City. His ability allows him to peel the card tattoos off of his skin and use them as lethal weapons.

----
* AlliterativeName: '''D'''ouble '''D'''own.
* DeathDealer: His cards are generated by his body and they are lethal.
* GlassCannon: He can generate a seemingly endless supply of cards, and has great aim, but beyond that, he's just an ordinary human. A GroinAttack from Felicity stalls him, punches from Diggle knock him out, and a bullet to the shoulder hurts him like it would anyone else.
* JustForPun: Indulges in one or two game-based puns. He avoids being a PungeonMaster by not doing it that often, and avoiding card-based puns (he says "draw" instead of themore poker-appropriate "push," for instance).
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: He's a killer for hire, not a HIVE true believer or crazy madman like Anarky. When things get too weird/dangerous he pulls his ScrewThisImOutOfHere.
* PowerTattoo: His powers are based on his tattoos because he was getting one with the explosion hit.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: Double Down is a Flash villain in the comics. Though he ends up in Iron Heights afterwards.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: When he sees that Damien is a sorcerer, he tries to nope out of the city. Though he is stopped by Diggle and Green Arrow.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Appears as a typical VillainOfTheWeek, but completely compromised the second Team Arrow base in his debut episode.

----
* AdaptationalVillainy: She is typically a heroic character in the comics, [[DirtyCop but not so much here.]]
* BadassNormal: She is extremely well-trained in combat, to the point that she not only escapes the same trap that Oliver successfully used on [[ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}} Slade]], but nearly ''kills'' him afterwards.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: She is never once referred to as "Lady Cop".
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Unlike some other members of her group, she is firmly against killing Captain Lance and claims to be against killing cops in general, although other members of her group have pointed out [[{{Hypocrite}} that they've already done that anyway.]]
* HeelRealization: She finally has one after Lance's PatrickStewartSpeech, and turns herself in.
* RaceLift: She is white in the comics, but black here.
* SpannerInTheWorks: She is entirely unaware of it, but it is thanks to the city-wide search for her group that the heroes are able to spot [[spoiler: Lance talking with Damien Darhk at the ''exact'' moment the secret meeting is taking place, thus cluing them in on the characters' connection and resulting in Green Arrow gaining an ally in HIVE.]]

* EarlyBirdCameo: Appears here before ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow''.
* HeroKiller: He's a very powerful immortal and Barry, Oliver and Malcolm, are all aware of how much of a threat he is. [[spoiler: He even ends up as a literal example, killing ''all members'' of Teams Arrow and Flash sans Barry, the Hawks and the entire Central City (possibly also including [[TheyKilledKennyAgain Sara]], since she mentioned last time that she'll be staying there with her mother for a while) until Barry resets the timeline to a day via his uncontrollable TimeTravel powers]].
* NearVillainVictory: Had Barry not [[spoiler: reset the timeline, Savage would have successfully killed all of Teams Arrow and Flash sans the former, the Hawks and the entire Central City (possibly including [[TheyKilledKennyAgain Sara]])]].
* OutsideContextProblem: His goals are not related to the overall plots of the seasons of ''Arrow'' and ''Flash'' the first time he appeared, but he's considered a huge threat nonetheless.
* SavedByCanon: Teams Flash and Arrow, along with Hawkman and Hawkgirl, successfully defeat him by reducing him to ashes.

* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: You might think a swarm of robotic bees would be no match for the fastest man alive with [[HealingFactor accelerated healing]]. You'd be wrong.
* HellBentForLeather: Her dress is done in a seductive black leather.
* LetterMotif: Notice how her name([[CodeName s]]) and many tropes associated with her starts with the letter ''B''? [[labelnote:Explanation]] '''B'''rie aka '''B'''ug-Eyed '''B'''andit has '''B'''londe hair, wears '''B'''lack outfits and has '''B'''ees as AnimalMotif. For added ActorAllusion, her actress' StarMakingRole is named '''B'''eth. [[/labelnote]]
* LettingHerHairDown: She no longer sports the BeehiveHairdo that she has on her first appearance.
* MadScientist: Her robotic bees were originally supposed to be used for agricultural purposes. She decided to modify them as weapons.
* MeaningfulName: "Larvan" being a reference to insect ''larva''.
* {{Meganekko}}: She wears large specs that enhances her bug motif.
* PungeonMaster: Loves bee-based puns.
* {{Revenge}}:
** She wants to kill the Mercury Labs scientists who were responsible for her being terminated: the scientists who blew the whistle on her and Dr. [=McGee=] who actually fired her and destroyed her research.
** After getting the schematics for Felicity's bio-chip, she chose to stay and try to kill Felicity, having recognised Felicity's code as the same kind used to defeat her in Central City, and was determined to get her back for sending her to prison.
* RobotMaster: She builds and commands a highly advanced swarm of robotic bees.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: Both InUniverse and out. InUniverse, she was a VillainOfTheWeek on ''Series/{{The Flash|2014}}'' before showing up here. In the comics, she's originally an enemy of the Atom, though she did fight him when Ray crossed over last season.
* TookALevelInBadass: She now goes out on the field unlike in her first appearance, and has also upgraded her robotic bees.
* YouSeeImDying: She really needs Felicity's bio-chip because [[spoiler: she has a tumor on her spine.]]

----

* TheSociopath: Brick doesn't care one bit about over people, even his supposed friends he will kill without hesitation [[YouHaveFailedMe if they fail him]]. This is made most obvious during his confrontation with Malcolm where while he admits that he had to kill someone in order to be initiated into a gang, he mostly killed Rebecca because he couldn't stand her crying and thought she was weak.

An evil immortal who seeks Carter Hall and Kendra Saunders throughout time. He is the BigBad in the upcoming ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' SpinOff. See Characters/LegendsOfTomorrow.

* SavedByCanon: Teams Flash and Arrow, along with Hawkman and Hawgirl, successfully defeat him by reducing him to ashes. But between [[spoiler: Malcolm collecting his ashes]], the fact that he's ''immortal'', and being announced as the BigBad of the upcoming SpinOff long before the previous seasons of ''Arrow'' and ''Flash'' even ended, the audience knew that he's NotQuiteDead.

* VillainOfAnotherStory: He is set to be the BigBad in the upcoming ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'' SpinOff.

* CelebrityParadox: An episode of ''Series/TheFlash2014'' mentions ''Franchise/JurassicPark'', meaning the film franchise exists in this universe. Roughly a month after its SeasonFinale, ''Film/JurassicWorld'' made its world premiere and one of its leads is played by his actor's [[Creator/BryceDallasHoward real-life wife]]. ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow also mentions ''Series/HappyDays'', which starred his RealLife [[Creator/RonHoward father-in-law]].

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: He's smart enough to have guard after guard in his home to take on the Hood, and used how many arrows the Hood could have in his quiver to his advantage by making him run out of arrows.

* LongBusTrip: Thanks to ExecutiveMeddling, we won't see them anytime soon due to the development of the ''Film/SuicideSquad'' movie.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: They were given a LongBusTrip by ExecutiveMeddling due to DC higher ups giving more priority to the ''Film/SuicideSquad'' movie.

* NeverFoundTheBody: While his death was mandated by DC, presumably so as not to conflict with the ''{{Film/Suicide Squad}}'' movie's version of the character, WordOfGod states that it was framed in such a way to leave his return a possibility should that restriction ever be lifted. The same Word of God also reiterates that he is off the table indefinitely however, so don't get your hopes up.

* OutsideContextVillain: Zigzagged. He is certainly not the first metahuman villain in the Arrowverse, but he ''is'' one for Team Arrow who usually deal with {{Badass Normal}}s with the exception of Slade, and even then he didn't have the same powers like other metahumans. [[spoiler:He is however the first metahuman who did not receive his powers from the Particle Accelerator and how he got his powers is ''still'' a mystery.]]

* BlondGuysAreEvil: Blonde, and also an evil mob boss.

* BlondGuysAreEvil: Very blond and very evil.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Count Vertigo is usually BlondGuysAreEvil. Here, he's brunette.

* LargeHam: Seth Gabel was clearly having a blast playing this guy. He even admits to taking influence from ComicBook/TheJoker.

* BlondeGuysAreEvil: He has blonde hair and is a PsychoForHire.

[[quoteright:339:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arrow_anarky16.jpg]]

* CombatPragmatist: Oh, so much. He's willing to use the rescue of a hostage as a distraction so he can get the jump on Thea and Oliver, as well as use a hidden flamethrower to try and roast them.

* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:Felicity sees right through him and has him arrested]].

* LargeHam: Seth Gabel was clearly having a blast playing this guy. He even admits to taking influence from SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker.

* {{Expy}}: Anarky has clear [[SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker Joker]] parallels in this portrayal, not limited to but definitely including his general demeanor and habits while "working." Fittingly, the comics' Lonnie Machin was once revealed as the Joker's biological son.[[note]]Though this was later quietly retconned.[[/note]]

* Outside-ContextVillain: Zigzagged. He is certainly not the first metahuman villain in the Arrowverse, but he ''is'' one for Team Arrow who usually deal with BadassNormals with the exception of Slade, and even then he didn't have the same powers like other metahumans. [[spoiler:He is however the first metahuman who did not receive his powers from the Particle Accelerator and how he got his powers is ''still'' a mystery.]]

* AdaptationalBadass: Compared to comics. Crazy and sloppy though he may be, he's capable of taking out everyone except the heroes - and even so he manages to outrun Ollie at one point. We see the aftermath of him taking out teams of hardened police officers several times during his introduction alone.

* AdaptationalWimp: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. He is undoubtedly {{Badass}} in the show – being able to fight Oliver evenly and even wound him – but not as much as his comicbook counterpart, who is possibly the third greatest martial artist on Earth.

* {{Badass}}: Not only does he escape Team Arrow multiple times in their encounters but he [[spoiler: singlehandedly derails Darhk's evil plan and breaks his spirit by murdering his wife.]]

* BlondesAreEvil: She's a crook and she's a blonde, so that's that.

* BlondesAreEvil: He has dirty blonde hair and is TheSociopath of HIVE.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Changed from black-haired into [[BlondesAreEvil blonde]], [[GenderFlip among other things]].

* BlondesAreEvil: Which is done up in a BeehiveHairdo.

[[folder: Lieutenant Joyner]]
->'''Played By:''' Erik Palladino

A high ranking member of Shadowspire and a former army lieutenant who served in Afghanistan as both John and Andy's superior.

* CanonForeigner: Although Shadowspire exists in the comics, Joyner does not.
* TheHeavy: He's the most prominent member of Shadowspire seen in [[Recap/ArrowS4E11AWOL their debut episode]], and is in charge of the squadron that takes over ARGUS.
* ShoutOut: His name may be a reference to DC writer Tom Joyner.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He's ostensibly just a VillainOfTheWeek and not even the one truly in charge of Shadowspire, but he does end up [[spoiler: killing Amanda Waller]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder: The Calculator]]
!! Noah Kuttler/The Calculator
->'''Played By:''' Tom Amandes

A computer genius capable of going toe-to-toe with Felicity, blackmailed Roy into stealing components for him and almost managed to destroy the whole city with a literal web nuke. He's also Felicity's DisappearedDad.
----

* TheBadGuyWins: Though he fails to impress the HIVE and gets set on fire for his trouble, he succeeds in keeping Danforth from running for mayor and escapes to fight another day.

* EvilVersusEvil: He develops a [[{{Pun}} burning hatred]] against Damien Darhk and tries executing his family.

* KarmaHoudini: Gets away with his crimes in both his appearances.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: He's simply a minor villain against Thea, but he ultimately [[spoiler: kills her love interest Alex.]]
* SmarterThanYouLook: He was able to infiltrate [[spoiler: Darhk's secret Genesis town and nearly destroy it.]]

* WouldHitAGirl: Attacks Thea and tortures a mayoral candidate's daughter.

* {{Badass}}: He can really hold his own in hand-to-hand combat.

* {{Badass}}: He can really keep Oliver on his toes.

* {{Badass}}: He is a proficient martial artist and is able to catch arrows in mid-air.

* {{Badass}}: One of very few characters able to go toe-to-toe with Oliver for a decent length of time and keep pace. The only reason Oliver keeps winning is because of essentially small advantages such as China White fighting barefoot on broken glass without her knives.

* DarkActionGirl: Can fight the Hood on mostly even ground.

* {{Badass}}: Kyle/The Ace of Spades was able to take an arrow to his chest (without padding), break it, and keep going to fight Oliver.

* {{Badass}}: He gave the Vigilante quite a fight.

* {{Badass}}: He can throw Vertigo darts faster than you can blink, and puts up good fights against the Arrow and the Canary and later, he does the same with Laurel.

* AdaptationalBadass: Much tougher than most of his portrayals in other media, especially compared to the comics, where he spent his last years suffering in-universe VillainDecay.

* {{Badass}}: Among other things he waltzed into A.R.G.U.S's Starling branch, took out an entire squad of heavily armed security guards without having to break his stride, and was able to fight Roy and Oliver simultaneously. The crowner was when he broke into the Foundry and nearly succeeded in killing Lyla.

* {{Badass}}: The guy fights people by giving them a gun. Even if you shoot him, you lose. [[CurbStompBattle Just ask Diggle.]]

* {{Badass}}: Crazy and sloppy though he may be, he's capable of taking out everyone except the heroes - and even so he manages to outrun Ollie at one point. We see the aftermath of him taking out teams of hardened police officers several times during his introduction alone.

* {{Badass}}: He is the most powerful villain to date in the Franchise/{{Arrowverse}}.
