History

(Green Arrow III #47, 48) - Green Arrow chipped away at Brick's empire, taking down drug rings, his skin trade and weapons shipments, prompting Brick to call in outside help. He brought in the Duke of Oil and Drakon, with the Duke robbing a bank to lure in Team Arrow, and Drakon separating Arsenal from the rest of the team by using a trip-wire to close the bank s windows and doors. After a wild fight Arrow disabled the Duke by shooting an arrow at the base of his android skull, the one chink in his armor.
