Green Arrow's Villain Era: The Secret Hero We Need!
Alright, let's talk about something wild happening in the DC Universe. You might be shaking your head at Green Arrow teaming up with Amanda Waller in ABSOLUTE POWER, but hear me out—he just might be the hero we didn't know we needed!
Big Spoilers Ahead!
So, in Green Arrow #14, things get pretty intense. While everyone is trying to deal with Waller's insane power moves, they’re figuring out how to stay alive as Green Arrow seems to be helping her take over. But honestly, I think he’s got a master plan brewing to save the day!
In this issue, as the heroes scramble against Amanda's new Amazo Justice League, Oliver Queen (a.k.a. Green Arrow) is handing over all sorts of Justice League secrets and gear. Yeah, it looks bad, but I have this hunch that he’s working undercover.
When Batman calls him out, Green Arrow explains that this is just how things go down when heroes get too powerful—people will step up. But c'mon, I suspect he’s just pretending to be on Waller's side!
Old Heroes, New Moves!
By the way, Connor Hawke, our 90s Green Arrow, is back and rocking a rad new outfit. Seriously, nostalgia vibes all around!
The Arrow Family Stays Safe
- Waller’s got this unstoppable army, taking down heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman, while the Flash Family and Batman are just trying to keep their heads down.
- Everyone thinks Green Arrow’s spilling secrets to Waller, but let’s be real—no one can control Waller completely. If Oliver wasn’t helping her, she’d find someone who would!
- He had the chance to snag members of the Arrow Family, but chose not to. That says a lot about his real motivations!
I think Green Arrow jumped on Waller’s bandwagon to keep tabs on her and figure out her game plan. With the Justice League out of order and public sentiment against the Titans, aligning with Waller could be a smart move for Oliver to play both sides.
Is It Really Betrayal?
Let’s not forget, Waller isn’t naïve—she’s smart. She knows Green Arrow isn’t all in with her, but she needs him to gather inside info to take down the Justice League. He’s always dabbled in the gray areas, even taking down Hal Jordan during the Zero Hour crisis.
So, while he might look like the bad guy right now, I’m betting that when the moment is right, he’ll pull the ultimate double agent move!
If you're curious, Green Arrow #14 is out now from DC Comics—definitely check it out!
