The CW has released the
plot synopsis for the upcoming ninth episode of Arrow, title Three
Ghosts. The episode will feature one of the DC characters that could
go toe to toe, well almost toe to toe with Superman, Solomon Grundy.
Here is the plot.
"After a fight with
Cyrus Gold AKA the Acolyte (guest star Graham Shiels), Oliver is
drugged and left for dead. Determined to cure him, Felicity makes a
risky decision. The cure causes Oliver to hallucinate, and what he
sees forces him to confront his past. Meanwhile, Barry (guest star
Grant Gustin) continues to help Felicity, and their connection grows
stronger. The Arrow asks Lance to look into Gold, but when the
stakeout on Gold goes bad, someone is killed. Roy (Colton Haynes) is
captured and tortured by Brother Blood (guest star Kevin Alejandro).
John Behring directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti &
Andrew Kresiberg and teleplay by Geoff Johns & Ben Sokolowski."
For the untrained eye,
Solomon Grundy's name doesn't seem to appear in the synopsis, but it
does, Cyrus Gold is Solomon Grundy when he was alive. As usual in the
comic books there are almost always multiple origin stories but
basically Cyrus Gold gets killed and buried in Slaughter Swamp, which
resurrects him as an all powerful and immortal zombie.
It would be cool to see
Gold transforming into Grundy and then see Green Arrow trying to
figure out how to deal with Grundy, since he is immortal.
