10 Kindhearted Comic Book Characters With Superbly Nuanced Flaws

3. Oliver Queen

3 Green Arrow Oliver Queen just can't seem to stop himself, or beating himself up about it. He occupies the body of an adult, but like many actual adults, Oliver constantly questions just how much of an adult he really is. For all the good he does for strangers, Oliver is the butterfingers of morality. If he were a compass, he would be all over the place. Whether he's double-crossing Dinah, double-crossing his best friends, double-crossing his oldest son, or double-crossing everyone else like with that incident with Prometheus, he just can't seem to listen to his own logic. He tries. He really does. But at the end of the day, much like his father, he's the most human a human can be, except he also gets the chance to moonlight as a superhero. Every day for him is truly another chance€”after he reprimands himself. He was also able to use a Green Lantern ring too. Just saying.
