Green Arrow's 10 Greatest Failures
10. Broken By Komodo - The Kill Machine
Komodo, aka Simon Lacroix, was a man who dragged himself from poverty into a respectable position at Queen Industries. Lacroix's determination and perseverance impressed Queen Industries CEO Robert Queen so much that Robert actually viewed Lacroix as a better son to him than Oliver was.
During "The Kill Machine". Lacroix returned to Star City with a plan to completely destroy the Green Arrow and prove that he is not only worthy of Queen Industries but Star City as well. He ended up taking all of Oliver Queen's fortune for himself and framing the Emerald Archer for murdering then CEO of Queen Industries, Walter Emerson.
As if that wasn't bad enough, Lacroix then made sure Oliver witnessed one of his safehouses explode, with two of his closest friends inside.
When Lacroix finally confronted Olie face to face, he revealed that he was well aware of nearly all of his secret stashes, including the ones that held many of Oliver's famous trick arrows.
Komodo proved himself to be an even better archer than Oliver was, and at the end of their first fight, the Green Arrow was trapped by a cement arrow and nearly beaten to death by the villain.
