20 DC Characters Who Could Yet Appear In Arrow And The Flash

14. Amazo

Superman Harley Quinn
DC Comics

Amazo is hugely powerful in the DC comic book world: this is a character who can absorb the powers of any person or being, and one who has been known to absorb the powers of literally the whole Justice League.

Arrow has teased comic book fans by having the name Amazo already pop up: with it being the name of Professor Ivo’s ship that was based just off Lian Yu. In comic lore, Ivo is the one who creates the menacing android known as Amazo, and so fans of Arrow were waiting for that to lead somewhere. Only it didn’t, for Ivo would end up losing a hand before eventually losing his life.

Like others on this list, if Amazo were to make an appearance in Arrow or The Flash, you’d have to think that his appearance may have to be toned down just a tad. And as for his powers, there aren’t really that many heroes for him to sap powers from. Then again, there are plenty of villains with a vast array of abilities that he could nab.
