Summary
One of theJustice League’sown is turn against his former allies in DC Comics’upcoming eventAbsolute Power . Mark Waid talk to Screen Rant about the forthcoming account and aired his thought process on why Green Arrow ’s bout to the dark side feels like a natural evolution for Oliver Queen .
Absolute Power’sMark Waid spoke to Screen Rant about what fans could await this summertime . After discuss the tale ’s villains , the conversation turned toAbsolute Power’ssurprise traitor , Green Arrow . Waid was asked how he felt writing Oliver Queen , a traditionally left - leaning figure , as working for a fascistic character like Waller .
Mark Waid : ( laugh ) Well , I think you could for certain make the case that for all of his left wing tendencies , Green Arrow has always been the first one to call the heroes out on not being in signature with the common world as much . As not being as creditworthy to human beings as he feels they ought to be . That goes back 20 , 30 , 40 age . So it work for me . It makes sense to me that Green Arrow would make a leaping like this , it may not make sense to other multitude . But to those multitude , I would ask them to ride it out and come back to me in a few months .
Waid oppose the musical theme , saying that Green Arrow has always been one of the first to call out his fellow Hero of Alexandria as being out - of - touch with everyday people . Waid allow in that some might not see Oliver doing something like that , but further reviewer to reassess after the issue is over .
Green Arrow’s Shock Decision Is in Line with His History
While Amanda Waller has mostly been occupy with free the Earth of metahumans , she ’s observe her centre on select homo who do n’t possess powers , such as the members of Team Arrow . Green Arrow discovered that Waller had struck a bargain with his older bane Merlyn to keep Queen ’s family separated to falsify Oliver . The Emerald Archer eventually confront Waller and she offered Queen a deal : Working for her in exchange for getting even with Merlyn and engender his mob back together . Green Arrow agree and even started going out on missions for Walleras her personal federal agent .
Waid raises an interesting point in that Green Arrowdoeshave a history of calling out his potent comrades for their lack of awareness in regard to average out the great unwashed ’s lives . Of course , there ’s a difference between Green Arrow keep back his friends accountable and actively serve a lunatic like Waller Delaware - baron and halt his friend . That tell , Oliver has observe that he ’s " playing the prospicient game " against Waller . Perhaps Green Arrow is using his history of scream out superheroes not so much as a defence , but as camouflageto conceal his dead on target intention as he works with Waller .
Green Arrow is the Perfect Double Agent
Few people can manage to trick someone like Amanda Waller , but Green Arrow is in the perfect status to do so . Waller intrust Queen due to his want of powers and his willingness to go against his friends in the superhero community . tabby is using that to his advantage and posing as a two-timer to the worldly concern while on the Q.T. act in the metahumans ' best interest . Of course , it ’ll be hard to say what exactly Queen is thinking untilAbsolute Poweris out , but Waid is right : It ’s unquestionably in line of products with theJustice Leaguemember ’s personality .
