Dodger

History

At one point he came into possession of what appeared to be an alien spacecraft. Recognizing that the vehicle's stealth capabilities made it a lucrative commodity, he began leasing the vessel to various underworld figures, including the League of Assassins. When the vessel in question was linked to an assassination attempt against Connor Hawke, Green Arrow and Black Canary began investigating its activity. The trail led them to London where they along with Speedy engaged in combat with Dodger at a local pub. Although Dodger proved to be an able bodied physical combatant, Arrow Family succeeded in subduing him and made him tell them about the League of Assassins.

When pressed for more information, Dodger was unwilling to cooperate, so Green Arrow and Black Canary dropped him from the belly of a cargo plane suspended by a bungee cord until he agreed to give them better intelligence. He took them to his secret lair and triangulated the last location of the stealth ship he had leased.

Green Arrow and Black Canary then convinced him to accompany them on the search, which brought them to a castle in Leicestershire, England. They evaded several traps and finally discovered a cryogenics tube containing the compressed form of former Justice Leaguer Plastic Man.

Dodger continued to work alongside Team Arrow and, fought against a team of metahumans who claimed to represent the League of Assassins. Dodger contributed very little to the battle; however, he did manage to distract one of them long enough for Batman to subdue him.

Other media

Dodger will appear in the omonymous episode in Arrow tv show, portrayed by James Callis. He will be a jewels-thief, chased by Oliver Queen and John Diggle after the theft of the Sherwood Ruby.
