Malcom Merlyn was a very successful billionaire business man. His wife was shot dead in the Glades and he swore to destroy them. He left for Nanda Parbat afterwards and met Ra's Al Ghul who trained him. Years later, he returned to Starling City with the Undertaking in mind. He used a earthquake machine to destroy the Glades and everyone in it. He became known as the "Dark Archer or the "Copycat Hood" as he was like Arrow, who was known as "The Hood". He was killed by a arrow to the heart from Arrow. He returned a year later to save his daughter Thea from Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke.

==Notes==
*On Arrow, Merlyn was played by John Barrowman who also played Captain Jack Harkness in the TV show Doctor Who and its spin-off Torchwood. Barrowman went on to play Merlyn again in LEGO DC Super-Villains.
**Like Chris Pratt and the late Christopher Lee, Merlyn and Harkness share the same head due to the fact that they're both played by the same actor.
