Weapon Of Choice is now a disambig


* 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''.

* 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.

Ambiguous Disorder is not a trope anymore, but a redirect to a YMMV entry.


* AmbiguousDisorder: Clock King's shtick of planning out everything down to the second almost brings [[SuperOCD OCD]] to mind.

Before anyone tries to argue that Darhk kicked Machin out because he was being sloppy, he did go so far as to say that there are lines you don't cross. One could also argue he has standards against sloppiness.

Added DiffLines:

* 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.

That is literally Celebrity Paradox, as Supernatural is an In Universe show and this guy looks exactly like a major character in that show

Added DiffLines:

* 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.

Not really the celebrity paradox, also Laurel is played by Ruby's first vessel, so that's nothing new


* CelebrityParadox: ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' is confirmed to exist in the Arrowverse, with the film crew even appearing on an episode of ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow''. Anarky's actor plays Jack, Lucifer's son and the surrogate son/brother of the Winchesters.

Added DiffLines:

* 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.

* 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 he is in the show.

* 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 by first brandishing a flamethrower, followed by jis 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.
