Arrow Casts Human Target

Will Simpson, the character on Marvel's Jessica Jones that aired on Netflix last year was and if you don't remember him the police officer Trish Walker (portrayed by Rachel Taylor) had a relationship with during the first season before he went all crazy after using combat enhancers that gave him temporary superhuman strength.

The actor who portrayed the role Will Traval will now move to rival DC Comics to portray the role of Christopher Chance a.k.a. Human Target on the upcoming season of Arrow.

In the comic books Human Target has been the name used by two different characters. The first is, Fred Venable while the second is Christopher Chance, the character we will be seeing on Arrow. You might know Chance, if you have happened to watch the two season series of the 2010 show names after the character, Human Target, with starred Mark Valley in the title role and ran for a total of 25 episodes. 

In the Comics

Human target, originally appeared in main stream DC comic books. After the character seized to appear in the comic books, he was revived in DC's Vertigo Imprint.

Christopher Chance, our person of interest for this article is a private detective, bodyguard, master of disguise and a master of combat, his skill in the latter being almost unmatched and unparalleled. In order to protect his clients he handles any danger coming their way by assuming their identities.

Eventually and with years of impersonating clients he ended up addicted to the impersonation of others even the most unethical of his clients. His personality was submerged so deep, he forgot what he was like as a person and as a result he was no more capable of personal relationships seeing as to how he was no more sure if his emotions are his own or those of others he has impersonated in the past. So pretty much he had some sort of a personality disorder of his own.

Originally and almost to the end, Chance is considered one of the good guys. Whether he will appear on Arrow in a good role or an impersonator of one of the villains of the season is yet to be seen.

What we know for now for sure is we are going to be seeing him for the first time on our screens around the fifth episode of the upcoming season.

Arrow returns to the CW on the 5th of October with an all new season and all new episodes. Thanks for tuning in.
