4. Carrie Cutter
Background: Carrie Cutter was the first female member of the Starling City SWAT team. Unfortunately, her ascent through the SCPD came to a halt when she became obsessed with her partner. Refusing the therapy that would have allowed her to keep her job, Carrie left law enforcement to engage in a far less structured - and more dangerous - game. Stalking the Arrow. Appearing first in background shots, Carrie made her debut as Cupid at the end of Season 3's "Guilty" as she incapacitated two police officers and killed a prisoner. She was the main villain in "Draw Back Your Bow," relentlessly and remorselessly pursuing Oliver as the Arrow. Eventually driven to violence against him when he denied her affections, Carrie nearly killed them both by handcuffing him to the tracks in front of an oncoming train. Overall, Carrie was a solid villain whose creativity and determination would be a tremendous asset if applied to better causes. Motivation To Join: Well, Carrie obviously still carries a torch for Oliver, so spending time with him would be a heck of a motivator. As that would be incredibly unhealthy and dangerous for all parties involved, however, perhaps a second try at therapy and medication could balance her out for the side of the good to make reparations. Skills: The physical abilities that propelled Carrie into her position at SCPD served her well in her pursuit of the Arrow. Taking up archery in his honor, she proved herself capable of taking out a well-protected mob boss, a pair of cops, several lowlifes, and even Roy as Arsenal. Also boasting above-average intelligence, Carrie was able to recruit a Felicity counterpart to locate the Arrow cave even as she manipulated Oliver to get him alone. Carrie may be crazy, but she sure isn't incompetent. Availability: Busy elsewhere. Carrie Cutter is currently a member of Amanda Waller's Suicide Squad, presumably with an explosive embedded in her spine to prevent escape.
