| 26 | ---- |
| 27 | * AssholeVictim: Merlyn shot him in his second appearance. Few tears were shed. |
| 28 | * 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. |
| 29 | * BaldOfEvil: He's bald and he's definitely evil. |
| 30 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: He was fairly greedy and fairly amoral. |
| 31 | * DefiantToTheEnd: He spends his last few moments of life scorning Malcolm. |
| 32 | * 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. |
| 33 | * NonActionGuy: His {{Mooks}} fight for him while he hides somewhere. |
| 34 | * OneSteveLimit: There have been a lot of characters named "Adam" showing up in Arrowverse. |
| 35 | * StarterVillain: The first name in Oliver's hit-list to be crossed out as well as the show's very first VillainOfTheWeek. |

| 47 | ---- |
| 48 | * AdaptationalWimp: Drakon was a very prominent Green Arrow rogue and a master martial artist who was able to beat Green Arrow, while here he's just an EliteMook working for the VillainOfTheWeek and ends up being killed by the Hood. |
| 49 | * ArrowCatch: He is a proficient martial artist and is able to catch arrows in mid-air. |
| 50 | * BadassInANiceSuit: Wears pretty decent clothing. |
| 51 | * DeathByAdaptation: Only lasted through the {{Pilot}}, despite being a recurring villain in the comics. |
| 52 | * DemotedToExtra: A recurring villain in the comics, he is reduced to being an EliteMook of the ''very first'' StarterVillain. |

| 64 | A crime boss recently released from jail, Cyrus attempts to dominate Starling City's criminal underworld by killing the Hood. |
| 65 | ---- |
| 66 | * AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: He certainly feels so. |
| 67 | * CelebrityParadox: Season 2 of ''Series/{{The Flash|2014}}'' mentions ''Series/IZombie''. His actor is part of that show's main cast. |
| 68 | * CountingBullets: Or Counting Arrows in any event. He knows the Hood only had 24 arrows in his quiver, so he sends 25 henchmen. |
| 69 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: Casually murders his lawyer within the first five minutes of his screen time. |
| 70 | * 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. |
| 71 | * SharpDressedMan: He is always wearing a fancy suit of some type. |

| 87 | |
| 88 | -> see Characters/ArrowverseOtherLocales for Paul Nal, the Earth-38 character who bears his physical likeness |
| 89 | ---- |
| 90 | * AssholeVictim: It's really hard to feel sorry for him after we find out the full extent of his crimes. |
| 91 | * ChekhovsGunman: His name is written on Oliver's List from the start (his name can be seen briefly in the episode "Legacies".) His murder at the hands of Oliver is integral to ''Arrow'' Season Five. |
| 92 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: He's OnlyInItForTheMoney, everyone else be damned. |
| 93 | * {{Expy}}: Head of a pharmaceutical company who raised prices of medicine by a ridiculous amount: Martin Shkreli, anyone? |
| 94 | * HorrifyingTheHorror: According to Oliver, he was planning on disowning [[AxCrazy Prometheus]]. |
| 95 | * IHaveNoSon: He was trying to disown his son, not for being illegitimate, but because he was aware of his madness. |
| 96 | * KilledOffscreen: PlayedWith. Oliver killed him during Season One's timeline, but it is only shown in flashbacks during Season Five. |
| 97 | * RememberTheNewGuy: PlayedWith. While his name is written on the List, his death and him being targeted by Oliver were never shown in Season One. |

| 106 | |
| 107 | A human trafficker who Oliver Queen pursued seven years ago and put in jail. Later he kidnaps Oliver's son William as revenge. |
| 108 | ---- |
| 109 | * DeathSeeker: He prefers death to being sent back to jail. |
| 110 | * HumanTraffickers: The reason he is on the list. |
| 111 | * LastEpisodeNewCharacter: He appears in the GrandFinale of ''Arrow''. |
| 112 | * NeverMyFault: Blames Oliver for putting him in jail, disregarding the fact that his own crimes were the reason in the first place. |
| 113 | * PostFinalBoss: Even though he doesn't do much, John is technically the final antagonist Team Arrow has to bring to justice before they disband. |
| 114 | * RememberTheNewGuy: He was another name on Oliver's list, but unlike the other victims, Oliver chose to spare Byrne and have him sent to jail. |
| 115 | * RevengeByProxy: As Oliver was already dead by the time of his release, he targets Oliver's son. |

| 125 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/firely_arrow_294.jpg]] |

| 131 | ->''"Thanks... But I'm already ''[[TitleDrop burned]]''."'' |
| 132 | |
| 133 | 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. |
| 134 | ---- |
| 135 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: He's still villainous, but his "broken man with nothing left but revenge" characterization and motives (which, while very understandable, are also quite misguided) is a far cry from his comic book counterpart, who is a [[AxCrazy maniac]] who is driven solely by pyromania. |
| 136 | * AdaptationalWimp: The comics Firefly utilized high-tech equipment and could put up a fight against superheroes. Here he uses some basic home-made arsonist gear and a fireman's axe. While he did come close to killing Oliver, it was because he was off his game at the time. In the next battle, Oliver quickly disarmed him. |
| 137 | * AlasPoorVillain: It is quite easy to feel sorry for him, as he's a broken man who is out for revenge for feeling betrayed. Oliver certainly felt sympathy for him and offered him redemption. |
| 138 | * ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: He is never actually referred to as Firefly, with that name instead being given to his former firefighter team who he is hunting down. |
| 139 | * FallenHero: Once an honorable fire fighter, now a broken man thirsty for revenge. |
| 140 | * KillItWithFire: His modus operandi. |
| 141 | * LeftForDead: His StartOfDarkness. |
| 142 | * NobleDemon: He's on a crusade to burn all those who he believes betrayed him, but he has no intentions of harming innocent bystanders, even telling them to run before he goes about his business. |
| 143 | * PetTheDog: Tells Oliver and Laurel to run before he carries out his revenge on his former boss. |
| 144 | * PragmaticAdaptation: His high-tech suit, flamethrowers, and jet-pack have been replaced with his old fire fighter suit, a tank of gasoline, and a lighter. It makes for a much more realistic arsonist than his comic counterpart. |
| 145 | * {{Pyromaniac}}: Played with. He doesn't seem to enjoy setting things on fire, but uses it as his go-to weapon. |
| 146 | * SelfImmolation: [[DrivenToSuicide Rather than try a chance at redemption]]. |
| 147 | * RevengeBeforeReason: Rather than move on, Lynns is taking it out on his former friends, who weren't ''entirely'' responsible. |
| 148 | * RoguesGalleryTransplant: In the comics, Firefly is a Batman villain. |
| 149 | * SerialKiller: Of members of his old unit, the Fireflies. |
| 150 | * TwoFaced: From the flames. |
| 151 | %%* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: His life was ''not'' pleasant. %%ZCE |

| 161 | |
| 162 | A international jewel thief who attaches bomb collars to his victims and uses them to carry out his crimes. |
| 163 | ---- |
| 164 | * 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. |
| 165 | * 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 were an art dealer who tries to screw him over, and a hostage in Madrid who refused to cooperate. |
| 166 | * AllThereInTheManual: He has his name revealed in the Arrow Season 2.5 Novel. |
| 167 | * BadassInANiceSuit: Always wears a suit in his heists (Or rather, when he makes someone else do it for him). |
| 168 | %%* BondOneLiner: Says one to the guy who tried to backstab him before killing him. (What did he say?) |
| 169 | * 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). |
| 170 | * EvilBrit: British, and a VillainOfTheWeek. |
| 171 | * ExplosiveLeash: How he gets his hostages to work for him, and he lets them go if they do as he says. |
| 172 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: His ''other'' signature move is to zap people unconscious. When he tries to use it on Oliver... |
| 173 | * NoNameGiven: He's only known as "The Dodger". |
| 174 | * NotSoDifferentRemark: Claims this to Oliver as he only steals from the rich. Oliver tells him he's not Robin Hood. |
| 175 | * PhantomThief: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] by forcing hostages to steal for him. |
| 176 | * ShockStick: Uses some kind of electric mace that causes its victims to become unconscious for 72 hours. |
| 177 | * WrongGenreSavvy: He believes that The Hood is a Robin Hood wannabe. |
| 178 | * YourHeadAsplode: The result when his hostages refuse to cooperate. |

| 188 | |
| 189 | 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. |
| 190 | ---- |
| 191 | * BorrowedCatchphrase: Uses the Hood's "you have failed this city". |
| 192 | * CrusadingWidower: A villainous example. He lets his wife's murder be his StartOfDarkness and he never looked back. |
| 193 | * 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. |
| 194 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Claims he goes after criminals, when he's a criminal; killing innocent people in cold blood and acting as judge, jury, and executioner. |
| 195 | * JudgeJuryAndexecutioner: How he views himself. |
| 196 | * KnightTemplar: He really believes that he's doing the right thing. |
| 197 | * 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. |
| 198 | * 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. |
| 199 | * SnuffFilm: His modus operandi. |
| 200 | * VigilanteMan: And unlike Oliver, he ''really'' has lost it. He goes around executing people for petty reasons. |
| 201 | * 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. |

| 211 | |
| 212 | 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. |
| 213 | ---- |
| 214 | * BadassInANiceSuit: Dressed impeccably. |
| 215 | * BadassLongcoat: Usually comes with his aforementioned nice suit. |
| 216 | * CelebrityParadox: Thea alludes to ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'' in the second annual {{Crossover}} with ''Series/{{The Flash|2014}}'' which WordOfGod would later confirm. This means that the ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' exists in the Series/{{Arrowverse}}. His actor plays Deathlok on ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD''. |
| 217 | * 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. |
| 218 | * 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. |
| 219 | * {{Expy}}: WordOfGod confirms that DC character Onomatopoeia was originally intended to appear, before this got scrapped and Mr. Blank was created for the show to take his place. |
| 220 | * FauxAffablyEvil: He is never anything other than polite to his victims, including politely talking to his employer as he murders him via a PressurePoint. |
| 221 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Oliver takes him out with a fireplace poker after a vicious fight. |
| 222 | * ImplacableMan: Once he has eyes set on a target, he will never stop pursuing them and nothing thrown in his way will stop him for long. The only way to stop him for good is killing him. |
| 223 | * InNameOnly: There is a DC character named Mister Blank, who is a very obscure Batman villain. However the show's version doesn't have any resemblance to him, instead more closely mirroring Onomatopoeia as a ProfessionalKiller. |
| 224 | * MysteriousMercenaryPursuer: A relentless assassin with a knack for being an ImplacableMan. |
| 225 | * OnlyKnownByHisNickname: His real name is never revealed. |
| 226 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Would you really want to deal with someone named Mr. Blank? |
| 227 | * PressurePoint: He's able to induce a deadly embolism in someone just by pressing their wrist. |
| 228 | * ProfessionalKiller: He's an assassin. |
| 229 | * ScaryBlackMan: An African-American who is a [[ProfessionalKiller master assassin]]. |
| 230 | * SharpDressedMan: He may be a cold-blooded killer, but he looks good doing it. |
| 231 | * TrojanHorse: One of his key tactics to infiltrating secure locations is to pretend to be someone else. Over the course of the episode he pretends to be a cop, a lawyer, and even uses 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. |
| 232 | * WouldHurtAChild: He spends most of the episode trying to hunt down and kill Taylor. |

| 244 | |
| 245 | A insane serial killer who likes to target young and beautiful women and fill them with a polymer to "preserve" them forever. |
| 246 | ---- |
| 247 | * AdaptationOriginConnection: His backstory is connected with Quentin Lance rather than with [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Jim Gordon]] as the cop he had a grudge against, which fits the move from Batman to Green Arrow. |
| 248 | * ArchEnemy: For Quentin. The feeling is very mutual. |
| 249 | * AxCrazy: His disturbing fixation on beauty drives spurns him onto sadistically murdering women with the intent to turn them into dolls. |
| 250 | * BeardOfEvil: The goatee certainly adds to his creepiness. |
| 251 | * CharacterCatchphrase: [[TermsOfEndangerment "You have such beautiful skin..."]] |
| 252 | * CharacterDeath: Courtesy of the Canary. |
| 253 | * 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. |
| 254 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: Kills his victims by pouring a polymer down their throats, essentially slowly drowning them while they're helpless and strapped to a table. |
| 255 | * DeathByAdaptation: The Dollmaker didn't die in the comics or any adaptation. |
| 256 | * FourEyesZeroSoul: The glasses merely add to the creepy effect. |
| 257 | * ItsPersonal: Towards Quentin. The feeling is very mutual. |
| 258 | -->'''Quentin:''' I am the one who put you away. [Laurel] has nothing to do with it!\ |
| 259 | '''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!\ |

| 261 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-I7xMZJfKs a creepy tinkling piece of theme music]]. |

| 263 | * SerialKiller: Killed eight young women before he was arrested, then killed two more after he escaped. His M.O. is young, beautiful women with porcelain skin. |
| 264 | * TheSociopath: He's a violent sadist with absolutely no empathy for anyone or anything. |
| 265 | * SoftSpokenSadist: Except when he's screaming at Quentin Lance just before he's about to kill Laurel. |

| 291 | 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. |

| 295 | * AdaptationalBadass: Despite dying from [=MacGregor's=] Syndrome, this Clock King is far more proactive than his usual "able to sense time" shtick. |
| 296 | * AntiVillain: A dying man who's desperate to get his hands on enough money to save his sister before he goes. |
| 297 | * 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. |
| 298 | * BadassNormal: Has no superpowers other than an [[ClockKing extraordinary ability to plan out his crimes]], as well as being competent enough with a gun. |
| 299 | * BerserkButton: Never EVER mess up his time-accounted plans, or he ''will'' kill you for it, as one {{mook|s}} learned the hard way when Tockman stabbed him to death with a [[ImprobableWeaponUser minute hand]]. |
| 300 | * CelebrityParadox: Cisco quotes ''Literature/TheHungerGames'' in a Season 3 episode of ''The Flash''. His actor played a villain on [[Film/TheHungerGamesMockingjayPart1 Part 1]] and [[Film/TheHungerGamesMockingjayPart2 Part 2]] of the third book ''Mockingjay'''s cinematic adaptation. |
| 301 | * TheChessmaster: Things must go precisely on schedule, but he is capable of improvising well if need be. |
| 302 | * ClockKing: The TropeNamer. Everything must go precisely on schedule. |
| 303 | * CompositeCharacter: He has both the gadget use of the William Tockman version and the time-precision skill of the Temple Fugate version. |
| 304 | * DisabledInTheAdaptation: This Clock King is dying of [=MacGregor's=] Syndrome, whereas most Clock King's menace Green Arrow for ages with perfect health. |
| 305 | * TheCracker: Making him something of an EvilCounterpart to Felicity. |
| 306 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Committed his robberies in order to fund a life-saving operation for his sister. |
| 307 | * EvilCounterpart: To Felicity. She commits hacks to aid Oliver, he commits crimes to save his dying sister. |
| 308 | * EvilGenius: He is an expert hacker and meticulous planner who can plan things down to the second, but also adapt on the fly. |
| 309 | * EvilVegetarian: Demands a vegetarian take-out meal from the police when he's transferred in Central City. |
| 310 | * FourEyesZeroSoul: Wears a very distinctive pair of glasses. |
| 311 | * HappyEndingOverride: His reappearance on ''The Flash'' reveals that he wasn't able to save his sister. |
| 312 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: Felicity knocks him out by using the same virus he used against her computers to make his phone blow up. |
| 313 | * IncurableCoughOfDeath: A symptom of [=MacGregor's=] Syndrome. |
| 314 | * LargeHam: Knepper is surely having a ball as Tockman. |
| 315 | * {{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. |
| 316 | * MotiveDecay: On ''Arrow'' he wanted to get enough money to save his sister. After he failed and wasn't even allowed to say goodbye, now he only cares about getting out of jail for his little remaining time before his own death. |
| 317 | * MythologyGag: [=MacGregor's=] Syndrome is the same disease Nora Fries and Alfred suffer from in ''Film/BatmanAndRobin''. |
| 318 | * PetTheDog: He shoots Eddie, but gives Iris a chance to say goodbye, since he didn't get to say goodbye to his sister. |
| 319 | * 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. |
| 320 | * RoguesGalleryTransplant: InUniverse. He previously fought Team Arrow before being sent to the CCPD where he causes havoc in the absence of The Flash. |
| 321 | * SanitySlippage: He becomes clearly more unhinged when he reappears on ''The Flash''. |

| 369 | Ted Grant's former vigilante partner, who swore revenge on his mentor after getting abandoned for beating a drug dealer to death. |
| 370 | ---- |
| 371 | * BadassNormal: Like his former teacher, he has no superpowers and is just an ordinary guy who is well trained. |
| 372 | * CanonForeigner: Has no comic counterpart. Although he seems to be based off a Green Arrow villain called Vengeance, which would make this a case of NamedByTheAdaptation. |
| 373 | * EvilCounterpart: He shows what could happen to Roy Harper if Oliver gave up on him. |
| 374 | * FallenHero: Was once the vigilante partner of Ted Grant, before he felt betrayed and went out for revenge. |
| 375 | * JerkassHasAPoint: He warns Roy Harper that his mentor would eventually abandon him. He speaks from experience, and Oliver had considered doing this before Ted had cautioned him otherwise. |
| 376 | * KarmicDeath: He was out to get revenge on his former vigilante mentor, and he ends up being killed by another vigilante. |
| 377 | * MalevolentMaskedMan: Wears a ski mask while masquerading as a vigilante. |
| 378 | * PetTheDog: He genuinely tries to warn Roy Harper that Oliver only considers him an expandable weapon in his arsenal, and would eventually abandon him. This had certainly crossed Oliver's mind, had Ted not advised him of how bad an idea this was. |
| 379 | * APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: He was Ted Kord's student before he brutally beat up a criminal and was fired, and that was just his StartOfDarkness. |
| 380 | * ScaryBlackMan: He was scary even back when he was a good guy, needless to say turning to the dark side didn't help. |
| 381 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: He's killed by Cupid at the end of his debut episode. |

| 401 | A meta-human who has the ability to harness and weaponize plasma though his eyes and absorb electricity. He's already a notorious bank robber before gaining his powers. |
| 402 | ---- |
| 403 | * AbortedArc: When getting incarcerated, it seemed like the next time he would appear the mystery about how he got his powers before the Particle Accelerator accident would be revealed. Instead, he was unceremoniously killed off by Captain Cold and nothing about his origin has been revealed up to date. |
| 404 | * ApologeticAttacker: Apologizes to Felicity before telling her he's going to kill her. |
| 405 | * BoomHeadshot: From Captain Cold's Cold Gun, no less. |
| 406 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: When he {{transplant}}s over to ''Series/{{The Flash|2014}}'', he goes from being a bank robber who ruthlessly kills people in his way, to an OnlySaneMan who tries to keep his fellow metahuman criminals from turning on each other. |
| 407 | * EnergyAbsorption: His main defensive power. |
| 408 | * EnhancedPunch: Can channel his energy into his fists, allowing him go toe to toe with Ray in the [[PoweredArmor A.T.O.M. suit.]]. |
| 409 | * EvilVegetarian: A deleted scene from "Grodd Lives" reveals that he will only eat vegan food. |
| 410 | * EyeBeams: One of the ways he uses his offensive power. |
| 411 | * FacialHorror: Getting blasted point blank with Cold's FreezeRay causes his face and neck to become severely frost bitten. |
| 412 | * GlassCannon: He has very high offensive power with his EyeBeams capable of splattering people, as well as his SuperStrength. But he's not as correspondingly durable, with Atom's exosuit able to knock him out and Snart's Cold Gun able to off him with ease. |
| 413 | * KilledOffForReal: Gets lethally blasted in the face by Colds FreezeRay in Rogue Air. |
| 414 | * LeanAndMean: He is skinny and quite an ass. |
| 415 | * OnlySaneMan: In "Rogue Air", he's the more reasonable metahuman prisoner, trying to breakup a fight between Mardon and Nimbus, to no avail. |
| 416 | * OutsideContextProblem: Zig-Zagged. He is certainly not the first metahuman villain in the Arrowverse, but he ''is'' one for Team Arrow who usually deal with [[BadassNormal Badass Normals]] with the exception of Slade, and even then he didn't have the same powers like other metahumans. 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. |
| 417 | * PlasmaCannon: His main offensive power. |
| 418 | * PowerGlows: His eyes and fists [[RedIsViolent glow red]] when he charges up for fighting. |
| 419 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: His eyes becomes red before shooting his EyeBeams. |
| 420 | * RememberTheNewGuy: If you don't watch ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' or missed that show's episode where he showed up, chances are you have no idea who the hell he is. |
| 421 | * RoguesGalleryTransplant: |
| 422 | ** Deathbolt is an ComicBook/AllStarSquadron villain in the comics. |
| 423 | ** Counts as InUniverse too, as he was transplanted from [[Series/{{Arrow}} Star(ling) City]] upon being defeated by Ray Palmer/The Atom. |
| 424 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: He dies after being in two episodes (one of which was on ''Arrow''), but his existence has massive implications for the Arrow/Flash universe. |
| 425 | * StarterVillain: For Ray Palmer, being the first true threat he faces solo as the Atom, [[LetsYouAndHimFight not counting Oliver.]] |
| 426 | * SuperStrength: He's got more physical strength than the Atom's PowerArmour. |
| 427 | * UnskilledButStrong: The Atom (remote-controlled by Green Arrow) took him down using nothing more than boxing jabs. |
| 428 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: If you only watch ''The Flash'' or didn't see his debut in ''Arrow'', then he gets very little in the way of personality traits before his untimely demise. |

| 440 | |
| 441 | 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... |
| 442 | ---- |
| 443 | * 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. |
| 444 | * AdaptationalVillainy: In the comics Lonnie Machin 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 and later just to spite Darhk for rejecting him. This is because his personality is largely derived from Ulysses Armstrong, the second Anarky, who is very much a violent psychopath like the one in the show. |
| 445 | * AnarchyIsChaos: Espouses this view, which is ironic, considering that his comics counterpart is a deconstruction of that idea. |
| 446 | * 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. |
| 447 | * ArchEnemy: Becomes a recurring villain for Thea. |
| 448 | * 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. |
| 449 | * BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: He did what Team Arrow was too reluctant to do: destroy Darhk's underground city and murder their long time enemy Ruve Adams. |
| 450 | * 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. Then he successfully destroys Darhk's underground secret society and kills Ruve Adams. |
| 451 | * BigBadEnsemble: With Darhk. Anarky serves as a secondary antagonist for season 4, especially nearing the end where he's heavily involved in the attack on Tevat Noah. |
| 452 | * BodyHorror: Half of his body was ''burned'' by Thea. |
| 453 | * BombThrowingAnarchist: Unlike his comic book counterpart, this version of Anarky plays this trope straight. Machin is a [[CardCarryingVillain card carrying]] [[TheSociopath sociopath]], who's prone to violence and clearly enjoys mass destruction. |
| 454 | * CallingCard: He leaves behind his trademark "Circle-A" Anarchy symbol at the scene of his handiwork. |
| 455 | * CardCarryingVillain: Just look at his image caption. He is fully aware that he is a violent maniac. |
| 456 | * CelebrityParadox: ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' is confirmed to exist in the Arrowverse, with the film crew even appearing on an episode of ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow''. No one ever notices how Anarky looks like Lucifer's son, Jack. |
| 457 | * ColdBloodedTorture: He submits multiple people to brutal torture ForTheEvulz. |
| 458 | * 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. |
| 459 | * CombatSadomasochist: He enjoys it when Thea hits him. |
| 460 | * ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: He's only ever referred to as "Anarky" one time, by Felicity. Otherwise he's always called "Machin". Although his codename does get plenty of nods throughout his appearances, especially [[CallingCard the Anarky symbol he loves leaving behind at scenes]]. |
| 461 | * CompositeCharacter: Though he bears the name Lonnie Machin, this version of the character draws much of his personality from Ulysses Armstrong, the second Anarky. |
| 462 | * ConfusionFu: The reason Anarky is so difficult to fight. He is dangerously chaotic and unpredictable with both his choice of weapons and his fighting style. While he doesn't measure up in skill to the seasoned martial artists of Team Arrow, he is able to still get the drop on them using his unexpected arsenal including first brandishing a flamethrower, followed by his trademark stun staff/nun-chuck. However once his tricks have been seen, Thea takes him down with ease. Then there's his KansasCityShuffle which constantly keeps him out of Team Arrow's radar. |
| 463 | * DemotedToExtra: He went from a recurring villain in Season 4 to the StarterVillain of Season 5 who has not appeared since. |
| 464 | * DentedIron: Getting burned alive has barely slowed him down at all. |
| 465 | * EnemyMine: Oliver helps Anarky escape prison so he can kill Damien Darhk. However, Oliver realizes what he did was wrong and tries to stop him later. |
| 466 | * EvilMakesYouUgly: He ends up seriously burned. |
| 467 | * EvilVersusEvil: He develops a burning hatred against Damien Darhk and tries executing his family. He eventually succeeds at murdering Darhk's wife. |
| 468 | * FacialHorror: He gets his face partly burnt. |
| 469 | * ForTheEvulz: His driving motivation is to spread anarchy. |
| 470 | * InexplicablyAwesome: No explanation is given as to how a young delinquent anarchist is able to have fighting abilities so great that he can take on multiple seasoned martial artists at once, including one who was trained by Ra's al-Ghul. |
| 471 | * IronicName: His last name sounds like the word "machine", which is the antithesis of someone as [[ChaosIsEvil chaotic]] as him. |
| 472 | * 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. |
| 473 | * KarmaHoudiniWarranty: In Season Four, aside from getting his face burned, he pretty much spent the whole season harassing Darhk, giving the middle finger to Team Arrow at every turn, and killing off the loved ones of heroes and villains alike. In Season Five, however, he's finally beaten down and captured by Green Arrow -- in the opening of the premiere, no less. |
| 474 | * KillItWithFire: Attempts to burn Darhk's family until Oliver arrives. |
| 475 | * MadeOfIron: He was seriously burned, but still carries on his crimes. |
| 476 | * MalevolentMaskedMan: Dons a mask to hide his burnt face. |
| 477 | * MoreDespicableMinion: [[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]] and ultimately [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Anarky is significantly more sadistic and evil than [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes Damien Darhk]]. But that is the [[EvenEvilHasStandards very reason why]] he was rejected from HIVE, much to his own dismay. |
| 478 | * MurderTheHypotenuse: He killed Thea's love interest Alex so she would have nobody in her life anymore. |
| 479 | * MythologyGag: Anarky's weapon is an electric baton, which also functions as an oversized nunchuck. This is Anarky's own weapon in the comics as well, though the comics version is simply a baton/walking stick, making this closer to the cattle prod used in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamOrigins''. |
| 480 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: He's never considered "harmless", but he ultimately proves himself to be far more than just a recurring MonsterOfTheWeek by infiltrating the Ark and destroying it, killing Ruvé in the process and thus driving Damien Darhk over the DespairEventHorizon. |
| 481 | * OneManArmy: He's tangled with multiple members of Team Arrow, and while he has been overwhelmed a few times, he does considerably well when taking account [[WorldsBestWarrior Oliver]] is one of the people he is fighting. |
| 482 | * PsychopathicManChild: Is very childish and immature, despite being a psychotic mass murderer. |
| 483 | * PracticallyJoker: 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]] |
| 484 | * 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. |
| 485 | * RecurringBoss: Anarky would be a constant thorn in the side to Team Arrow during Season 4, before Oliver locks him up for good in Season 5. |
| 486 | * RoguesGalleryTransplant: In the comics, he's usually a Batman villain, though he has gone up against Green Arrow before. |
| 487 | * SecondEpisodeIntroduction: Introduced in the second episode of Season 4. |
| 488 | * ShockAndAwe: His primary weapon is a stun stick. |
| 489 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: He's simply a minor villain against Thea, but he ultimately kills her love interest Alex and murders Darhk's wife Ruve Adams, triggering both of their [[DespairEventHorizon despair event horizons]]. |
| 490 | * SmarterThanYouLook: He was able to infiltrate Darhk's secret Genesis town and destroy it with artificial bombs. |
| 491 | * TheSociopath: Merlyn informs Thea that Anarky cannot be reasoned with at all due to his AxCrazy personality. |
| 492 | * StalkerWithACrush: He has a bit of an obsession with Thea, ever since she burned him. He considers himself reborn by the flames and calls Thea his "mother". |
| 493 | * StarterVillain: For Season 5, with its opening scene showing Oliver hunting him down. |
| 494 | * TeensAreMonsters: Still fairly young, around Thea's age, but is a BombThrowingAnarchist who stirred up a lot of trouble in Season 4. |
| 495 | * TooKinkyToTorture: He's an absolute masochist and the thought of something trying to inflict pain on him only amuses him. |
| 496 | * 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. |
| 497 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: In all honesty, he probably wouldn't mind, but driving Damien Darhk to want to destroy the entire planet even without the survivors in the Ark was almost certainly not what he intended when he blew it up. |
| 498 | * 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. |
| 499 | * VillainousCrush: It's subtly implied that he has an obsession for Thea. |
| 500 | * TheWorfEffect: Oliver seems to get hit by this whenever Machin shows up, and has overpowered Green Arrow and the whole team in virtually every fight in Season 4. Season 5 does set it straight with Oliver finally beating him in a one-on-one fight. |
| 501 | * WouldHitAGirl: Attacks Thea and tortures a mayoral candidate's daughter. He later personally executes Ruve Adams. |
| 502 | * WouldHurtAChild: He was attempting to kill Damien Darhk's daughter. |
| 503 | * {{Yandere}}: He killed Alex so Thea wouldn't have him anymore. |

| 510 | !!! '''Played by:''' Creator/JRBourne |
| 511 | !!! '''Appearances:''' ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' |
| 512 | |
| 513 | 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. |
| 514 | -> see Characters/DCEUTaskForceXTargets for the character on an undesignated Earth who bears his name and background |
| 515 | ---- |
| 516 | * AlliterativeName: '''D'''ouble '''D'''own. |
| 517 | * DeathDealer: His cards are generated by his body and they are lethal. |
| 518 | * 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. |
| 519 | * 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. |
| 520 | * PowerTattoo: His powers are based on his tattoos because he was getting one when the explosion hit. |
| 521 | * PungeonMaster: Downplayed. He indulges in one or two game-based puns, but avoids doing it too often, and avoiding card-based puns (he says "draw" instead of the more poker-appropriate "push," for instance). |
| 522 | * RoguesGalleryTransplant: Double Down is a Flash villain in the comics. Though he ends up in Iron Heights afterwards. |
| 523 | * 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. |

| 537 | 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. |
| 538 | ---- |
| 539 | * ArchnemesisDad: To Felicity, but only on his first appearance. By season 6, they are completely over it, to the point Felicity defends him as reformed at Oliver's trial. |
| 540 | * {{Blackmail}}: Threatened to reveal that Roy Harper was alive if he didn't steal for him. |
| 541 | * ChekhovsGunman: He has been alluded to since early Season 3. |

| 545 | * DisappearedDad: Was absent for most of Felicity's life; it's later revealed that Donna actually took Felicity and left him, convinced that he would never change. |
| 546 | * EnemyMine: He joins Team Arrow temporarily to stop Darhk's evil plan to destroy the world. |
| 547 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: He may be an immoral hacker and a deadbeat dad, but even he is disturbed by Darhk's plans to destroy the world. |
| 548 | * EvilCounterpart:To Felicity, even more than the usual evil hacker due to being her ArchNemesisDad as well. |
| 549 | * EvilGenius: He is known as the greatest terrorist hacker in the world. |
| 550 | * EvilVersusOblivion: He joins Team Arrow in their fight against HIVE because he doesn't want them to destroy the world. |
| 551 | * GoodCounterpart: Surprisingly he turns out to be one to Cooper Seldon / Brother Eye, as while both are criminal hackers; Cooper is willing to help Darhk destroy the world, while Noah aids Team Arrow to save it. The two hackers even end up going head to head. |
| 552 | * HeelFaceTurn: He apparently changed his ways off screen, as he is back together with Donna and is freely welcome at Oliver and Felicity's wedding reception in season 6. |
| 553 | * {{Jerkass}}: He's fine with abusing his daughter's trust and trying to steal from her company. [[LaserGuidedKarma Felicity sees right through him and has him arrested.]] His reapperance in season 6 suggests he got over it. |
| 554 | * KarmaHoudini: If Oliver's trial in season 6 is anything to go by, the [=FBI=] are well aware that the world's greatest terrorist hacker (who was active as recently as two years ago) is living with his ex-wife as a free man, they just don't care to do anything about it. |
| 555 | * LikeFatherLikeSon: It's clear Felicity takes after her father more than her mother. |
| 556 | * ManipulativeBastard: First he {{Blackmail}}ed Roy into stealing for him, then he tries to use his familial ties to Felicity in order to steal from her company. |
| 557 | * MeaningfulName: The Calculator is a fitting name for a ManipulativeBastard like him. |
| 558 | * NeverMyFault: Accepts no blame for abandoning his daughter, trying to justify his actions by claiming that he's a WellIntentionedExtremist being unjustly pursued and that a life on the run is no place for a child. He also brushed off Felicity's condemnation for blackmailing Roy. |
| 559 | * NonActionGuy: Since he's a hacker, he's not really a fighter. |
| 560 | * NotSoDifferentRemark: He frequently tries to argue this between him and Felicity. Curtis also compares the Noah/Donna relationship to the Olicity one. |
| 561 | * NotoriousParent: He is a fugitive cyber-criminal and the father of Felicity. In early series, all Felicity knew was that her mother forbade her having a relationship with Noah. It's not until Felicity meets Noah as an adult that she realizes it was for good reason. However, this realization comes only after Noah tries to woo her into a father-daughter relationship only to hurt her by returning to his criminal ways. |
| 562 | ** [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] as of season 6. He has returned to Donna and has given up his criminal ways, even being trusted to come to Oliver and Felicity's wedding reception without alterior motive. |
| 563 | * ParentalAbandonment: He ditched Felicity when she was seven. It was because Donna forbade him from approaching Felicity after seeing him being still involved in criminal activities. |
| 564 | * PetTheDog: |
| 565 | ** Buys Felicity a mobile ramp to help her get around. |
| 566 | ** After he works with Felicity to save the world, Donna asks him to leave for his daughter's sake, and he does (for a bit). |
| 567 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: In the comics, The Calculator and Felicity Smoak are not related at all. |
| 568 | * RoguesGalleryTransplant: The Calculator is a Birds of Prey villain in the comics. |
| 569 | * SnarkToSnarkCombat: Frequently throws sarcastic jabs at his own ex-wife and daughter. |
| 570 | * SoProudOfYou: Even after his daughter has him arrested, he's genuinely proud of her hacking skills and work with Team Arrow. |
| 571 | * TokenEvilTeammate: Temporarily becomes an ally to Team Arrow in order to stop Darhk from destroying the world. |
| 572 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: He claims that he's not a "bad guy", and that he's no different from Felicity. |
| 573 | * WhatYouAreInTheDark: When he believes that he's in the process of winning back Felicity's trust, he takes the first opportunity he finds to try to steal her company's data. Fortunately Felicity set this up a a SecretTestOfCharacter, and has him arrested. |

| 614 | * AmbiguousSituation: In ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'', her name appears in a list of League members 300 years before the present. It's unclear if this means Onyx really is a centuries old former League member, or if this is merely someone who shares the same name as her. |

While it is a little bit understandable to go after Oliver himself, taking innocent people hostage and trying to force SCPD officers to shoot him or be electrocuted to death is not. |

| 692 | ---- |
| 693 | * AbusiveParents: Whenever Stanley did something he didn't like, his father would give him some "medicine" (read: paralytic agent) and proceed to "correct" him. |
| 694 | * AdaptationalAttractiveness: He's a lot easier on the eyes than the comics Stanley Dover, who was a [[EvilOldFolks creepy old man]]. |
| 695 | * AdaptationalSympathy: He's given a sketchy FreudianExcuse of claiming to have AbusiveParents, which the comics version never had. |
| 696 | * AdaptedOut: In the comics, Stanley Dover is a master of the occult. Here, like most ''Arrow'' adaptations of characters, he's just a BadassNormal. |
| 697 | * AgeLift: The comicbook Stanley Dover is a notorious EvilOldFolks. Here, he appears to be around Oliver's age[[note]]Brendan Fletcher and Creator/StephenAmell were both born in 1981[[/note]]. |
| 698 | * AmbiguouslyEvil: At first, after it turns out he really did murder the guard he was accused of killing for unknown reasons. He also killed several other people, and claimed they all had it coming. As shown later however, his definition of "had it coming" is pretty blurry. |
| 699 | * ArcVillain: He becomes the main threat for a few episodes and it almost looks as though he might take over as BigBad. |
| 700 | * AxCrazy: "Ax-Crazy" doesn't really do it justice. The guy is full-on, veins-on-the-forehead-and-frothing-at-the-mouth insane. Trying to be rational with him is ''next to impossible''. Then there's the [[SarcasmMode tiny little detail]] that he's a serial killer... |
| 701 | * BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: Combined with TheDogBitesBack, as he kills Brick. |
| 702 | * BerserkButton: |
| 703 | ** Calling him "The Star City Slayer" ''really'' pisses him off. |
| 704 | ** No one listening to him or understanding his motives. |
| 705 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: Gains an extremely warped sense of morality from his abusive parents. |
| 706 | * CanonCharacterAllAlong: Turns out he really is the adaptation of Stanley Dover aka Star City Slayer. |
| 707 | * ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Subverted. He eventually gets the title "Star City Slayer" about halfway through Season 7, even if he doesn't care for the name. |
| 708 | * DistressedDude: Oliver has to rescue him from being brutalized numerous times. |
| 709 | * FrameUp: He claims that he was wrongfully accused of murder. His later action of framing Ben Turner for the murder of a guard himself however puts this into question. And then it is revealed that he is indeed a murderer. |
| 710 | * FreudianExcuse: He had AbusiveParent's who gave him drugs to correct him. |
| 711 | * GlassCannon: Ends up being knocked out by Oliver in one hit. He is good at planning and stalking his prey, but he is helpless in a direct fight. |
| 712 | * INeverSaidItWasPoison: He reveals himself as the guard's murderer by thanking Oliver for finding Ben Turner's knife, even though Oliver never told him about it. |
| 713 | * IfICantHaveYou: Non-romantic version. If the older brother figure doesn't want to work with him, he will proceed to attempt to kill them. |
| 714 | * InsaneTrollLogic: Uses this to justify his actions. |
| 715 | * InsistentTerminology: He doesn't kill or murder, he "corrects." The results are just about the same... |
| 716 | * TheLancer: To Oliver in prison. |
| 717 | * LoonyFan: Obsessed with Oliver. |
| 718 | * ManipulativeBastard: Has to be in order to fool [[GeniusBruiser Oliver]]. |
| 719 | * MaskOfSanity: He hid his true psychotic nature from Oliver for their entire stay in prison. |
| 720 | * TheMentallyIll: One of the few genuine examples of the verse. |
| 721 | * MoodSwinger: Stanley constantly swings back and forth between friendly and threatening. |
| 722 | * NeverMyFault: He still insists he is an innocent man even after admitting to being a SerialKiller. |
| 723 | * NoNameGiven: No last name, anyway. Until "The Slabside Redemption", when it's revealed to be [[CanonCharacterAllAlong Dover]]. |
| 724 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: Despite his unstable attire and being helpless in a straight fight, he is scarily competent in tracking and stalking his targets. He also murders Brick and ''almost'' [[SlashedThroat kills Dinah]]. |
| 725 | * ObliviouslyEvil: Firmly believes he isn't evil, despite everyone else seeing him for exactly what he is. |
| 726 | * ParentalSubstitute: In a very dark version of this trope, Stanley’s M.O. is to become attached to an older brother figure and then systematically kill his enemies, friends, and finally him. |
| 727 | * PayEvilUntoEvil: He's the one who shanks and kills Brick. Considering all the horrible things Brick himself had done, it was more than well-deserved. |
| 728 | * PsychopathicManchild: He acts extremely immature. |
| 729 | * SanitySlippage: Noticeably more unhinged in [[Recap/ArrowS7E13StarCitySlayer "Star City Slayer"]] than in [[Recap/ArrowS7E7TheSlabsideRedemption "The Slabside Redemption"]]. |
| 730 | * SelfMadeOrphan: He murdered both of his parents as a boy. They gave him a [[AbusiveParents good reason to do it]]. |
| 731 | * SerialKiller: Is revealed to be have killed whole families out of his desire to ''correct'' someone he sees as a big brother. |
| 732 | * SiblingMurder: Kills his older brother after he tries to send Stanley to Arkham. Then he latched onto another older brother figure, with strong implication that he eventually killed him too. He tried the same with Oliver, but was luckily stopped just short of doing it. |
| 733 | * StockSlasher: When he finally escapes, he ends up invoking a lot of slasher tropes being a SerialKiller who wields a knife and wears a gas mask. When the heroes visit his hideout of a creepy abandoned house, he is shown sneaking up and attacking one of the heroes much like a slasher villain. |
| 734 | * TautologicalTemplar: Genuinely believes he is doing good and can’t comprehend otherwise. |
| 735 | * ThatOneCase: Downplayed example but Dinah remembers his serial killings in Central City as having gone unsolved. |
| 736 | * TurnOutLikeHisFather: Defied and subverted. He tells everyone he's nothing like his abusive father. Felicity agrees, that Stanley is ''[[EvilerThanThou much worse]]''. |
| 737 | * UnwantedAssistance: Tries to "help" Oliver by targeting both people who are his enemies, as well as his friends. |
