I've seen the Green Lantern, but never the Green Flash. :ssmile: Ya! I also have seen the Green Arrow! :lol2: Well, I'll be darned, there IS a Green Arrow! He looks like a jacked Robin Hood. I was never into comics AT ALL, truth be told. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/1f/Green_Arrow_%2...
