For devoted fans of Green Arrow and his son, Connor Hawke, the resurgence of the sound-making villain is bound to evoke memories of the trio’s tumultuous history. Connor holds a significant place in Onomatopoeia’s list of targets, having been shot by the deranged villain. Oliver managed to save Connor. However, the threat persisted as Onomatopoeia returned to the hospital where Connor was being operated on, aiming to finish the job. Queen and Black Canary thwarted the attack, but the elusive villain managed to escape. Now, with the ominous return of Onomatopoeia, it seems that the haunting specter of unfinished business and impending danger hangs once again over Green Arrow and his son.

Onomatopoeia’s reappearance introduces a captivating element to Green Arrow’s storyline, particularly as Amanda Waller has been firmly established as the central antagonist in Oliver’s narrative. With Waller recently capturing Roy Harper and Oliver expressing his belief that there’s more to her agenda, saying, “She’s always hated us, but there’s something more going on here,” the plot thickens. The arrival of Onomatopoeia raises intriguing questions about his role in the narrative, inviting speculation about potential connections to Waller or whether he operates independently. The series is quickly becoming more complex and intriguing as the story progresses. Hence, it’s no wonder that the Green Arrow series got extended.
