Still, superheroes need supervillains, and poor Ollie has definitely been neglected on that front. That's one of the major problems with the GA/GL line, it contantly put these two guys up against "man-with-wrench" and worse, they would LOSE.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202001986567703389.post-58019042292163619682008-03-20T23:19:00.000-04:002008-03-20T23:19:00.000-04:00Oh, I totally agree, I really like Merlyn and he's...Oh, I totally agree, I really like Merlyn and he's the perfect foil for Green Arrow, but he's rarely used in any context, let alone in GA's own books.

Not because of his story, mind you, but because of the writers' failure to utilize him. Merlyn is the PERFECT villain for GA, and he should be a major recurring foe. Instead, Ollie has fought him only a few times. The guy should be the Swordsmen to Ollie's Hawkeye, you know? He should be a dark reflection.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
