The "Human Target" Is Coming To ARROW In Synopsis For Season 5, Episode 5
Human Target had his own series back in 2010, but the character now looks set to return to the small screen when he appears in season five of Arrow played by Jessica Jones' Wil Traval. Hit the jump for details...
The CW has released the first synopsis for the fifth episode of Arrow's fifth season, and in it we get the first details about what to expect from the network's take on the Human Target. If that name's familiar, it's because the character starred in a short-lived TV series a number of years ago, but this is going to be a totally different version played by Jessica Jones villain Wil Traval when he appears in Star City.
A professional bodyguard and master of disguise who assumes the identities of those targeted by assassins, the character (a.k.a. Christopher Chance) will be an ally to Oliver Queen here, but it's what brings him to this neck of the woods which is really interesting. Despite being warned off by Prometheus, Church is clearly on the warpath, and one the new recruits is clearly going to suffer...
