So one of the main aspects of super-heroism is that they don't kill. We know it's caused a lot of problems amongst fans and creators in how killing may be portrayed alongside being a hero. With the CWverse we know that Arrow birthed the superhero movement and he himself is a killer. We've now grown to have tens of heroes but how many are squeaky clean and how many are killers like the Green Arrow.
Starting with the main Arrow cast I have a feeling only Black Canary hasn't, I'm not sure;
Green Arrow - Dozens
Arsenal - The police officer
Red Arrow - Sara
Spartan - Dozens
Overwatch - Havenrock
They're the main five who have been heroes over the last five years. Not including Black Canary. I'm not sure about the newer recruits. White Canary obviously has. Presumably Wild Dog has, and I need to rewatch but hasn't Ragman in his early appearances, as well as the new Black Canary. So maybe that leaves Mr Terrific and Laurel's Black Canary as the only heroes from Arrow who haven't killed? I might be missing one or two. But from all the heroes from Arrow only two haven't been killers, three with Atom included. That's primarily why I put this thread in the Arrow section.
What about the other shows? Many characters have died at the hands of Team Flash the first I think of is Atom Smasher. How many characters have died from the hands of the Legends. And Supergirl, I lost track of season 1 so missed the last six or seven episodes. Did characters die towards the end as well?
What do people think of this? Do you feel it is an overused method for drama where some characters are concerned, Arsenal and Red Arrow. And should they bring attention to the issue where things like where Team Flash killing is concerned.
