Feeling betrayed, jail. To this day, he began hunting down members of his former unit for kidnaps Oliver's son William as revenge.



* 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.
* AdaptationalWimp: Played with. 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. This didn't stop from almost killing Oliver, though at the time, he was off his game. The next battle, Oliver quickly disarmed him.
* 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.
* 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.

* 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.
* {{Pyromaniac}}: Played with. He doesn't seem to enjoy setting things on fire, but uses it as his go-to weapon.
* SelfImmolation: [[DrivenToSuicide Rather than try a chance at redemption.]]

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.

!!! ''"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.
----
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Despite originally wanting Yorke dead, he can't help but chuckle over the guy getting framed instead.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the comics, he looks like a living brick.
* AdaptationalNationality: He goes from American in the comics to an EvilBrit in the show.
* AdaptationalSpeciesChange: In the comics, Brick is a metahuman whose powers made him look like living brick. Here, he has no visible mutations.
* 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.
** Also during the first three episodes of Season 7, he is the main obstacle for Oliver during his stint in Level 1 of Slabside Maximum Security Prison.
%%* BadassBoast
* 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]]. [[spoiler: Ben Turner ultimately turns on him for this reason.]]
* BaldOfEvil: His morality disappeared with his hair.
* BloodKnight: He enjoys brutal fights with his opponents.
* BornLucky: No superpowers were involved in his famed resilience - dude's just got a horseshoe up his ass.
* 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.
* TheBusCameBack: Reappears in season 7 [[spoiler:as one of the inmates imprisoned alongside Oliver.]]
* 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 H.I.V.E.
* DemotedToDragon: 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 ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises''. 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.
* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: After Oliver gets rid of the guard Yorke, Brick transforms Level 1 of Slabside into his own little kingdom. However, after Oliver survives his Fight Club and attacks a few guards, the prison is forced to tighten security and thus he gets treated like any ordinary prisoner again.
* 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.
* InTheBack: [[spoiler: Stanley ends him by putting a knife into his back.]]
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: Meets his end during "The Slabside Redemption", at the hands of Stanley.]]
* LargeAndInCharge: He towers over his posse.
* MadeOfIron: Famous in-universe for having shrugged off multiple bullet wounds.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It's never made clear if he's really superhuman in his durability or if he just somehow makes it look like he can take bullets through sleight-of-hand. What makes it even more unclear is that while he can seemingly withstand bullets, Malcolm Merlyn or Oliver Queen punching and kicking him in a fight can apparently knock him out cold.
* MightAsWellNotBeInPrisonAtAll: After Oliver get's rid of the only decent guard, Yorke, Brick is basically running Slabside as his personal kingdom.
* 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: African-American in the comics, Caucasian in the show.
* 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. There's also the fact that Malcolm Merlyn knew him and had been seeking revenge on him for years, as he was the one who murdered his wife Rebecca Merlyn.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: His act of murdering Rebecca Merlyn was what led to all of the events in ''Arrow'' to occur.
* 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.
* 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.
* TisOnlyABulletInTheBrain: Gunshots to his head don't faze him and he even ''encourages'' his victims to attempt it.
* 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.

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Series/{{Arrow}}''

The CEO of Claybourne Pharmaceuticals, an associate of the black market profiteers AK Desmond Group, and the man behind an outbreak of tuberculosis in Lamb Valley.
----
* AssholeVictim: It's really hard to feel sorry for him after we find out the full extent of his crimes.
* ChekhovsGunman: His name is written on Oliver's List from the start, and his murder is integral to ''Arrow'' Season Five.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He's OnlyInItForTheMoney, everyone else be damned.
* {{Expy}}: Head of a Pharmaceutical who raised prices of medicine by an ridiculous amount: Martin Shkreli anyone.
* HorrifyingTheHorror: According to Oliver, he was planning on disowning [[AxCrazy Prometheus]].
* KilledOffscreen: PlayedWith. Oliver killed him during Season One's timeline, but it is only shown in flashbacks during Season Five.
* RememberTheNewGuy: PlayedWith. While his name is written on the List, his death and him being targeted by Oliver were never shown in Season One.
* YourCheatingHeart: He got divorced from his wife after she found out that he committed bigamy and fathered a child with the newer wife.

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/firely_arrow_294.jpg]]
!!! '''Played By:''' Andrew Dunbar
!!! '''Appearances:''' ''Series/{{Arrow}}''

->''"Thanks... But I'm already ''[[TitleDrop burned]]''."''

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: 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.
* AdaptationalWimp: Played with. 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. This didn't stop from almost killing Oliver, though at the time, he was off his game. The next battle, Oliver quickly disarmed him.
* 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.
* 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.
* FallenHero: Once an honorable fire fighter, now a broken man thirsty for revenge.
* KillItWithFire: His modus operandi.
* LeftForDead: His StartOfDarkness.
* 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.
* PetTheDog: Tells Oliver and Laurel to run before he carries out his revenge on his former boss.
* 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.
* {{Pyromaniac}}: Played with. He doesn't seem to enjoy setting things on fire, but uses it as his go-to weapon.
* SelfImmolation: [[DrivenToSuicide Rather than try a chance at redemption.]]
* RevengeBeforeReason: Rather than move on, Lynns is taking it out on his former friends, who weren't ''entirely'' responsible.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: In the comics, Firefly is a Batman villain.
* SerialKiller: Of members of his old unit, the Fireflies.
* TwoFaced: From the flames.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: His life was ''not'' pleasant.

[[folder: The Dodger]]
!!"The Dodger"
!!! '''Species:''' Human
!!! '''Known Aliases:''' The Dodger
!!! '''Played By:''' James Callis
!!! '''Appearances:''' ''Series/{{Arrow}}''

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 the 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...
* NoNameGiven: He's only known as "The Dodger".
* NotSoDifferent: Claims this to Oliver as he only steals from the rich. Oliver tells him he's not Robin Hood.
* PhantomThief: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] by forcing hostages to steal for him.
* WeaponOfChoice: Some kind of electric mace that causes its victims to become unconscious for 72 hours.
* WrongGenreSavvy: He believes that The Hood is a Robin Hood wannabe.
* YourHeadAsplode: The result when his hostages refuse to cooperate.

[[folder: The Savior]]
!!Joseph Falk / "The Savior"
!!! '''Species:''' Human
!!! '''Known Aliases:''' The Savior
!!! '''Played By:''' Christopher Redman
!!! '''Appearances:''' ''Series/{{Arrow}}''

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.

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.
* CanonForeigner: Was created specifically for the show, and has no comic counterpart.
* 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 Series/{{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.
* {{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.
* 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.
* ScaryBlackMan: An African-American who is a [[ProfessionalKiller master 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.

!!! '''Played By:''' Michael Eklund
!!! '''Appearances:''' ''Series/{{Arrow}}''

A insane serial killer who likes to target young and beautiful women and fill them with a polymer to "preserve" them forever.
----
* 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.
* ArchEnemy: For Quentin. The feeling is very mutual.
* AxCrazy: His disturbing fixation on beauty drives spurns him onto sadistically murdering women with the intent to turn them into dolls.
* BeardOfEvil: The goatee certainly adds to his creepiness.
* 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!
-->'''Quentin:''' I will kill you, you son of a bitch! I will kill you!
* {{Leitmotif}}: Has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-I7xMZJfKs a creepy tinkling piece of theme music]].
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: In the comics, Dollmaker is a Batman villain. He's also a personal enemy of Jim Gordon, rather than Quentin Lance.
* 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.
* TheSociopath: He’s a violent sadist with absolutely no empathy for anyone or anything.
* SoftSpokenSadist: Except when he's screaming at Quentin Lance just before he's about to kill Laurel.
* WouldHitAGirl: Aside from doing his criminal M.O., he showed no signs of restraint when fighting Sara/The Canary.
* WouldHurtAChild: Has no problems killing children.
* VillainousFriendship: He was the only prisoner released by the first Count Vertigo.

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/william_tockman_arrow_8219.jpg]]
!!! '''Species:''' Human
!!! '''Known Aliases:''' Clock King
!!! '''Played By:''' Creator/RobertKnepper
!!! '''Appearances:''' ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' | ''Series/{{The Flash|2014}}''

->''"You think no one can get to you? You think no one can touch you in the safety of your hidey hole...?'' ''But'' I ''can."''

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.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: Despite dying from [=MacGregor's=] Syndrome, this Clock King is far more proactive than his usual "able to sense time" shtick.
* AmbiguousDisorder: Clock King's shtick of planning out everything down to the second almost brings [[SuperOCD OCD]] to mind.
* 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|s}} learned the hard way when Tockman stabbed him to death with a [[ImprobableWeaponUser minute hand]].
* CelebrityParadox:
** Cisco quotes ''Literature/TheHungerGames'' in a Season 3 episode of ''The Flash''. His actor played a villain on [[Film/TheHungerGamesMockingjay in the last two films of the cinematic adaptation]].
* 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.
* EvilVegetarian: Demands a vegetarian take-out meal from the police when he's transferred in Central City.
* FourEyesZeroSoul: Wears a very distinctive pair of glasses.
* HappyEndingOverride: His reappearance on ''The Flash'' reveals that he wasn't able to save his sister.
* 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.
* 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.
* MythologyGag: [=MacGregor's=] Syndrome is the same disease Nora Fries and Alfred suffer from in ''Film/BatmanAndRobin''.
* PetTheDog: He shoots Eddie, but gives Iris a chance to say goodbye, since he didn't get to say goodbye to his sister.
* 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.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: InUniverse. He previously fought Team Arrow before being sent to the CCPD where he causes havoc.
* SanitySlippage: He becomes clearly more unhinged when he reappears on ''The Flash''.
* SoapOperaDisease: He's dying of [[Film/BatmanAndRobin MacGregor's Syndrome]].
* StevenUlyssesPerhero: William ''Tockman''.
* WickedCultured: In addition to his doctorate in Computer Science, he will speak in Latin or quote Literature/WarAndPeace just before he brutally murders you.
* WorfHadTheFlu: He wouldn't have lasted a second against the Flash, except that Barry happened to have lost his powers at the time he was causing havoc.

----
* AffablyEvil: Somewhat polite and cordial.
* BadassBiker: Seen riding around on a sleek black bike.
* DarkIsEvil: Wears a black hood with a sinister looking hockey-type mask.
* DecompositeCharacter: His major characteristics from the comics (specifically his methodical antagonism towards Oliver) will be given to Simon Morrison aka Promewtheus in the show.
* DemotedToExtra: He's integral to Oliver's StoryArc in the New 52. Here, he's merely a VillainOfTheWeek.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Regularly calls her if that's any indication, which was how Team Arrow was able to track him the first time.
* EvilCounterpart: To Arrow. Yet another evil archer Oliver has to deal with.

->''"Arrows. Brass knuckles. I never knew why we couldn't just use a gun the way they did."''

Ted Grant's former vigilante partner, who swore revenge on his mentor after getting abandoned for beating a drug dealer to death.
----
* BadassNormal: Like his former teacher, he has no superpowers and is just an ordinary guy who is well trained.
* 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.
* FallenHero: Was once the vigilante partner of Ted Grant, before he felt betrayed and went out for revenge.
* 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.
* KarmicDeath: He was out to get revenge on his former vigilante mentor, and he ends up being killed by another vigilante.
* MalevolentMaskedMan: Wears a ski mask while masquerading as a vigilante.
* 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.
* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: He was Ted Kord's student before he brutally beat up a criminal and was fired, and that was just his StartOfDarkness.
* ScaryBlackMan: He was scary even back when he was a good guy, needless to say turning to the dark side didn't help.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: He's killed by Cupid at the end of his debut episode.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Was once Ted Grant's partner.

!![[ComicBook/{{Anarky}} Lonnie Machin/Anarky]]
[[quoteright:340:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/anarky_1.jpg]][[caption-width-right:340:''[[CardCarryingVillain "I'm sorry. Did I leave the impression that I was a rational guy?"]]'']]
!!! '''Species:''' Human
!!! '''Played by:''' Alexander Calvert
!!! '''Appearances:''' ''Series/{{Arrow}}''

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.
* ArcVillain: Serves as a secondary antagonist for season 4, especially nearing the end where he's heavily involved in the attack on Tevat Noah.
* 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: He did what Team Arrow was too reluctant to do: 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. Then he successfully destroys Darhk's underground secret society and kills Ruve Adams.
* BodyHorror: Half of his body was ''burned'' by Thea.
* CallingCard: He leaves behind his trademark "Circle-A" Anarchy symbol at the scene of his handiwork.
* CardCarryingVillain: Just look at his image caption. He is fully aware that he is a violent maniac.
* 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.
* 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]].
* 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 and tries to stop him later.
* EvilMakesYouUgly: He ends up seriously burned.
* EvilVersusEvil: He develops a burning hatred against Damien Darhk and tries executing his family. 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: 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.
* 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.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: He coldly executes Damien Darhk's wife Ruve Adams.
* KillItWithFire: Attempts to burn Darhk's family until Oliver arrives.
* MadeOfIron: He was seriously burned, but still carries on his crimes.
* MalevolentMaskedMan: Dons a mask to hide his burnt face.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: 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, making this closer to the cattle prod used in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamOrigins''.
* 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.
* PsychopathicManChild: Is very childish and immature, despite being a psychotic mass murderer.
* 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.
* 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.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: In the comics, he's usually a Batman villain, though he has gone up against Green Arrow before.
* SecondEpisodeIntroduction: Introduced in the second episode of Season 4.
* ShockAndAwe: His primary weapon is a stun stick.
* 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]].
* SmarterThanYouLook: He was able to infiltrate Darhk's secret Genesis town and destroy it with artificial bombs.
* 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".
* TheSociopath: Merlyn informs Thea that Anarky cannot be reasoned with at all due to his AxCrazy personality.
* TeensAreMonsters: Still fairly young, around Thea's age, but is a BombThrowingAnarchist who stirred up a lot of trouble in Season 4.
* 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 its huge reach gives him an advantage when he's fighting the bare-handed Green Arrow and Speedy.
* 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.
* WouldHitAGirl: Attacks Thea and tortures a mayoral candidate's daughter. He later personally executes Ruve Adams.
* WouldHurtAChild: He was attempting to kill Damien Darhk's daughter.
* {{Yandere}}: He 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.

!!! '''Species:''' Human
!!! '''Played by''': Brendan Fletcher
!!! '''Appearances:''' ''Series/{{Arrow}}''

A former inmate (number 9922) of Slabside Maximum Security Prison who was incarcerated for murder, which he at first claims was wrongful. He quickly befriends Oliver. Then it turns out that he is not as harmless as he looks...
----
* AbusiveParents: Whenever Stanley did something he didn't like, his father would give him some "medicine" (read: paralytic agent) and proceed to "correct" him. It's easy to see why he'd develop into a total fucking lunatic, but at the same time, it ''could'' be that he was always insane and this was merely his father's way of dealing with him.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: He's a lot easier on the eyes than the comics Stanley Dover, who was a [[EvilOldFolks creepy old man]].
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: So far, this Stanley Dover is not a Satanist or a child murderer. He also feels a genuine sense of kinship with Oliver, while his comic counterpart was just using him.
* AdaptedOut: In the comics, Stanley Dover is a master of the occult. Here, like most ''Arrow'' adaptations of characters, he's just a BadassNormal.
* 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]].
* 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.
* 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...
* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: Combined with TheDogBitesBack, as he kills Brick.
* BerserkButton:
** Calling him "The Star City Slayer" ''really'' pisses him off.
** No one listening to him or understanding his motives.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Gains an extremely warped sense of morality from his abusive parents.
* CanonCharacterAllAlong: Turns out he really is the adaptation of Stanley Dover aka Star City Slayer.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Subverted. He eventually gets the title "Star City Slayer" about halfway through Season 7, even if he doesn't care for the name.
* DistressedDude: Oliver has to rescue him from being brutalized numerous times.
* 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.
* FreudianExcuse: He had AbusiveParent's who gave him drugs to correct him.
* INeverSaidItWasPoison: He reveals himself as the guards murderer by thanking Oliver for finding Ben Turner's knife, even though Oliver never told him about it.
* InsaneTrollLogic: Uses this to justify his actions.
* InsistentTerminology: He doesn't kill or murder, he "corrects." The results are just about the same...
* TheLancer: To Oliver in prison.
* LoonyFan: Obsessed with Oliver.
* ManipulativeBastard: Has to be in order to fool [[GeniusBruiser Oliver]].
* MaskOfSanity: And a pretty good one.
* TheMentallyIll: One of the few genuine examples of the verse.
* MoodSwinger: Stanley constantly swings back and forth between friendly and threatening.
* NeverMyFault: Very prone to this.
* NoNameGiven: No last name, anyway. Until "The Slabside Redemption", when it's revealed to be [[CanonCharacterAllAlong Dover]].
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Despite his unstable attire and being helpless in a straight fight, he is scarily competent in trackking and stalking his targets. He also murders Brick and ''almost'' [[SlashedThroat kills Dinah]].
* ObliviouslyEvil: Too broken and insane to realize his actions are wrong.
* OneHitKill: 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.
* 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.
* PsychopathicManchild: He acts extremely immature.
* SanitySlippage: Noticeably more unhinged in [[Recap/ArrowS7E13StarCitySlayer ‘’Star City Slayer’’]] than in [[Recap/ArrowS7E7TheSlabsideRedemption ''The Slabside Redemption’’]].
* SelfMadeOrphan: He murdered both of his parents as a boy. They gave him a [[AbusiveParents good reason to do it]].
* SerialKiller: Is revealed to be this.
* 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.
* TautologicalTemplar: Genuinely believes he is doing good and can’t comprehend otherwise.
* ThatOneCase: Downplayed example but Dinah remembers his serial killings in Central City as having gone unsolved.
* TurnOutLikeHisFather: Defied and subverted. He tells everyone he's nothing like his abusive father. Felicity agrees, that Stanley is ''[[EvilerThanThou much worse]]''.
* UnwantedAssistance: Tries to "help" Oliver by targeting both people who are his enemies, as well as his friends.
