[picture needed] The "Maniac with Boomerangs" is an enemy of the Green Arrow.
Equipment[]
- Boomerangs
Season Nine[]
While at Metropolis WonderCon, Chloe Sullivan got a text message from Oliver Queen (Green Arrow), that he had found who he had been looking for: a "maniac with boomerangs".
Notes[]
- The character was never identified by name. Given his choice of weaponry, there is a strong possibility that he is George Harkness/Captain Boomerang. However, there is another character who uses the same weaponry, and (unlike George Harkness/Captain Boomerang) is a canon Green Arrow Villain. His name is Martin Flint/Boomerang, though he is a far more obscure character than Captain Boomerang.
Appearances[]
- Season Nine: Warrior (Mentioned only)
