10 Times Green Arrow Has Killed

There is no question that Green Arrow is the world's greatest archer. He can hit a bullseye from a mile away, shoot an arrow down the barrel of a gun, and split an oncoming arrow with his own. Even though he uses arrows on criminals all the time, it's usually to cause minor damage. Sadly, even the best of the best can screw up.

While fighting several thugs in an alleyway, Ollie got hit in the arm with a lead pipe, reopening an old injury. When Ollie noticed one of thugs, Ricky, was armed with a sniper rifle, the archer aimed his bow and prepared to fire. However, the injury he just suffered caused his arm to spasm, forcing Arrow to pre-emptively fire his bow. The arrow pierced Ricky's chest, killing him instantly.

Arrow was so devastated at taking someone's life, he shredded his costume, broke his arrows, and told his partner, Black Canary, he was quitting the superhero lifestyle. Luckily, Green Lantern managed to convince Arrow not to give up but it still took some time for him to get over the experience.
