8 Golden Age Characters Who Should Appear In The Arrowverse

The unfortunate side effect of two separate DC superhero universes running alongside each other on different mediums – the DC Extended Universe and the crop of TV shows known as the Arrowverse – is that they often can’t use the same characters. The TV series, in particular, have many of the big DC heroes off-limits. This could be seen as a major weakness, but thankfully, the Arrowverse has managed to turn it into a strength.

Born on Monday and dead by Saturday, Solomon Grundy might be one of the more familiar characters on this list. Since his inception in 1944, Grundy – a Hulk-like zombie – has stuck around as a long-term enemy of Superman and Batman. He’s sort of also appeared in Arrow – though it was such a revisionist take on Grundy it was hardly him at all.

In the show, Cyrus Gold (Grundy’s living name) is injected with the drug Mirakuru and so gains super strength and agility. Gold stuck around for three episodes before being killed off, without ever becoming the character as we know him. Ideally, the character would come back from the dead in the future, to be properly reborn as Solomon Grundy.

Unfortunately, an issue here might be that Gotham is also introducing Grundy in season three. Given that, Arrow might have missed its chance to do the character justice. Let’s hope not, though.
