Arrow Season 4: 6 Villains You Need To Know About
6. Double Down
J.R. Bourne has been cast to play Jeremy Tell, traditionally a Flash villain better known as Double Down. Hell be a metahuman that can turn his playing card tattoos into deadly weapons. Yes, really.
In the comics hes a con-artist who loses all his money in a poker game. He killed the winner, but the deck of cards melded with his flesh, leaving his body disfigured but with the ability to detach them and use them as weapons (if he can detach them, why cant he take them off permanently?). He also isnt allowed into casinos (probably).
Although Arrow has kept things grounded in reality more than The Flash (at least as grounded as a show about a crime-fighting bow-and-arrow-wielding hero can be), this is the second metahuman theyve introduced (after Captain Boomerang last year) and a sign that they are continuing to expand the shows universe. Magic and mysticism are to be introduced more this year, and Double Down fits in with that thinking, and may well be popping over to Central City if he makes an escape from Starling.
