This particular arrow was not delivered by anyone else Green Arrow, flying in a jet pack, demands that Bright let Leia go.
Who is Shiny and what's the beef with Team Arrow?
Bright is a very new addition to the DC Universe and has only made a handful of appearances so far. He first appeared at the end of Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths when Amanda Waller came up with the idea of wiping out the world's metahuman population. Bright, Peacemaker, Peacewrecker, and an unknown Joker/Sinestro composite were Waller's first allies upon his return from Earth-3. Bright had a few scattered appearances throughout DC Dawn, however It wasn't until Waller took over the Hall of Justice that Green Arrow was introduced to this massive compound. technology and meat.
Green Arrow was determined to find and manipulate Amanda Waller and get her answer to keep the Queen's family separated in time and space. Not long after breaking, the Green Arrow encountered the Shining, who revealed that he could flash a light strong enough to blind the archer. During their struggle Bright also revealed that on Earth he and Green Arrow were friends. Oliver didn't bother to figure out who Bright's version was. Green Arrow simply stabbed Bright in one of the eyes and waited to be taken to Waller.
Oliver meets Bright for the first time
Green Arrow #9 (2024)
!
Later, after Green Arrow began working for Waller and Absolute Power began working in earnest, Green Arrow was in the Hall of Order observing the progress of Task Force VII until he was interrupted by Bright. Bright was suspicious of Oliver's sudden turn and was convinced that Green Arrow was about to betray them. However, Oliver kept his cool around his mysterious new rival. Bright hasn't revealed his identity yet, but he did he has no love for Green Arrow, even threatening to burn his eyes out.
What Bright's Identity Could Mean for Green Arrow and His Allies
It's hard to tell who Bright is at this point, but there are a few clues that can point readers in the right direction. It makes sense considering Waller also picked up a female Peacewrecker from another world, not from the Prime Universe. Given his long time on Earth-3, that's more likely where Bright came from (interesting twist with Oliver being President on Earth-3). But if Bright is from Earth-3 and knows his version of Green Arrowso who is behind the flashing lights?
…People living on Earth-3 are generally absolute monsters…
Green Arrow has many allies, but it seems that the Shining and the Queen were once close, at least on Earth-3. Back on Earth, few of the Queen's allies recognize her as Arsenal, in what will be a shocking and deeply disturbing twist. Granted, Bright tries to kill two members of Roy's family in this issue. But people living on Earth-3 are generally absolute monsters, and if evil Roy from another world tried to kill Chief Arsenal's family just for kicks.
Whoever the shiny is, he has an obvious obsession with Green Arrow and his family, unlike the Joker's hyper-fixation on Batman. But while the Joker has a twisted form of “love” for Batman, Bright has nothing but hatred for the Queen and her family. Torture, maiming, and murder are the ways he threatens to make Team Arrow suffer. Although it has been held by Amanda Waller until now, A villain like this can be a real problem for Green Arrow If Bright sticks around.
Creates a Real Problem for the Bright Arrow Team
Whoever Bright is, he knows everything about the lives of Oliver Queen and his loved ones. This is dangerous information for anyone, but in the hands of a psychopath like Bright, who knows what he might do? Of course, Bright is currently under Amanda Waller's thumb. But if things go wrong and he gets loose, it could make life very difficult for Oliver and the rest of Team Arrow. hopefully Green Arrow Now I understand who the Shining really is and how he can defeat the new one.Joker'.
