History
Onomatopoeia is a serial killer who targets non-powered, vigilante superheroes. He earned his name because he imitates noises around him, such as dripping taps, gunshots etc. It seems that he may be able to perfectly imitate these sounds but that has been left ambiguous. He invariably carries two semiautomatic handguns, and army knife, and is a skilled unarmed combatant.
He once stated his nickname to one of his victims after he shot and killed her. This was the only time he has been seen speaking normally. He dresses all in black with black gloves and wears a full, black hood decorated by concentric white circles.
One of his notable targets was Connor Hawke, the second Green Arrow. He shot Connor, who was saved by his father Oliver Queen (the first and original Green Arrow). While Connor was being operated on in the hospital, Onomatopoeia returned to finish the job, but was stopped by Queen and Black Canary. He managed to escape and remains at large, making a brief cameo in the Infinite Crisis event during the "Battle of Metropolis."
It remains uncertain whether or not Onomatopoeia is a metahuman, however in his encounter with Green Arrow, he took six arrows without stopping. He took two to one shoulder, one to the other, one in between the first and middle knuckles of his right hand, one through his right foot, one through the palm of his right hand, none of which slowed him or even impaired his manual dexterity. After being shot, he took a seven story drop off the roof of the Star City hospital and still managed to run away before Green Arrow could find him. While he may not be a metahuman proper, it is logical that he is enhanced in some way.
