Ben Turner

"I think that year's ago you saved Lyla's life. Now I don't know if you can be that hero again. But I think you deserve the chance to try."

- Oliver to Ben Turner

Benjamin "Ben" Turner, better known as Bronze Tiger, is a mercenary and a former member of Task Force X. He is currently an inmate at Slabside Maximum Security Prison.

Alliance with China White
Ben Turner had formed an alliance with China White. He agreed to help her and the Chinese Triad with their business as he would get a chance to fight and kill The Hood. Together with China White, he conducted a series of raids on transports with medical supplies for the Starling City hospitals. In their second raid, The Hood confronted China and attempted to shoot her. Turner slid down between the two trucks and easily blocked the arrows aimed at them. China then fled with the truck, as Turner and The Hood engaged in an intense fight. While fighting the police showed up and tried to arrest them, forcing both to flee the scene.

During a third raid, they were again confronted by the Hood. This time Turner and China double teamed The Hood. During the brawl the Hood knocked down China. Ben attacked The Hood but they were separated when John Diggle almost ran them over while driving the truck away. China following, Diggle and Turner, lured the Hood in a labyrinth of piled up crates. He then managed to sneak up on the Hood twice, cutting him with his claws and disappearing before The Hood could respond. A third time, the Hood sensed him coming and shot multiple arrows at him. While blocking most, an arrow struck him straight in the shoulder. Turner was skeptical that The Hood thought he could stop him. He stabbed at the Hood, though the Hood pressed a button and the arrow electrocuted him, incapacitating him. On the news it was revealed that he and China White were incarcerated.

Escape
Turner later escaped out of prison with the help of a weapons dealer who then hired him to steal a prototype of the Markov Device out of the Merlyn Mansion. While there he and the henchman assisting him got confronted by the Arrow and Roy. He engaged in a fight against the Arrow after which he managed to flee with the truck containing the device, while the Arrow had to stop Roy Harper from killing one of the henchman.

After concluding his contract with the arms dealer, they were attacked by the Arrow, who quickly incapacitated the arms dealer and one of his henchmen. Turner managed to sneak up on the Arrow and stabbed him in the shoulder. He then got attacked by Roy. The weapons dealer then tried to detonate the device into creating an earthquake. Surprised by the supernatural strength of Roy, Turner ultimately was overpowered and knocked down. The Arrow managed to get Roy to assist him into destroying the device in time.

He was later revealed to be arrested and in jail again. Here he was confronted by Amanda Waller who offered him a position in her squad as a way to get out of prison.

Work with the Suicide Squad
Turner was released from his imprisonment by ARGUS to participate in a mission with the Suicide Squad. He posed as John Diggle's bodyguard and faked getting shot by Deadshot in order to help Diggle gain Gholem Qadir's trust. Later, when Qadir captured and was about to kill Lyla Michaels, Ben killed him.

In late 2014, Bronze Tiger was working as part of the Suicide Squad, killing members of the extremist sect Onslaught in the Republic of Kasnia. Afterwards, he and Deadshot were training in the A.R.G.U.S. headquarters, taking out ten men in 7 seconds. Later, he and the rest of the squad were deployed to head to Kahndaq to take out Onslaught, with Diggle joining them. Bronze Tiger disguised himself as a member of Onslaught, and, following a distraction provided by Lawton, began killing members. After Ravan Nassar deployed a bomb near an Onslaught truck, the Squad found a survivor, hoping to use him to lead them to Khem-Adam's stronghold.

After torturing the survivor, the Squad learned Khem-Adam's hiding-place: a cave network beneath the mountains of the Ahk-Ton Desert. Bronze Tiger and the others stormed the stronghold, but after a brief fight with Khem-Adam, Ben was killed with his own claws. Deadshot carried his body away, to bury him in his home country.

Slabside Maximum Security Prison Inmate
After Oliver Queen was arrested and imprisoned, Turner was shown as an inmate in Slabside Maximum Security Prison who, along with Danny Brickwell and Derek Sampson, targeted Oliver due to him being the reason they were all imprisoned. All three of them attempt to jump Oliver in the cafeteria and almost had him killed but the fight was broken up and Turner was taken in solitary confinement right before telling Oliver that he was gonna die when he got out.

Days later, Turner was released. When Oliver approached him, Brickwell and Sampson in the cafeteria, Turner was about to attack him before being told to stand down. The three of them later went to Oliver in the courtyard regarding the removal of prison guard Peter Yorke and Turner handed Oliver a knife.

Brick makes a deal with Oliver to arrange a meeting with an inmate known as “The Demon”. However, Brick sets Oliver up and sends Turner and two other inmates to kill him. Oliver manages to defeat them and ties Turner up and interrogates him. Turner then reveals that Brick was holding a wrestling match in the prison. Oliver forces Turner to take him to Brick. Turner reveals how he saved Lyla from Gholem Qadir, surprising Oliver due to Diggle never telling him about it. After arriving to the wrestling match, Turner watches Oliver battle Sampson. Later, he, Sampson, and Brick watch Oliver be taken to Level 2. Later, Ben helps Oliver against Derek Sampson and Danny Brickwell and gives him a weapon to fight Ricardo Diaz.

Personality
When first introduced, Turner displayed a warrior-like mentality, eager to fight opponents of a similar skill-set to his own, he displayed disappointment with the Arrow's new, more heroic approach to stopping criminals rather than killing them outright. He can also be relentless and stubborn, having been shot with an arrow (not knowing it was electrified) and said that it won't stop him. He is shown to be a bit like a mercenary. He knew about the earthquake device and it's devastating effects, but he didn't care so long as he got paid. He also shows curiosity about his clients, such as why someone would break him out of prison or why someone would want the earthquake device.

When operating in the Suicide Squad, Turner was displayed to work well with others. He easily played the role of bodyguard and did not seem to be shocked when Mark Scheffer got blown up. He also displayed immense loyalty to his comrades. When Lyla Michaels was threatened by Gholem Qadir, Turner quickly killed him.

Abilities

 * Expert combatant/Martial artist: Turner has displayed to be a highly skilled martial artist, being able to fight on par with the Arrow and even at times defeat him, although he also lost at certain occasions. His skill in combat combined with his claws makes him highly dangerous at both close and long-range, able to easily deflect projectiles with them. Along with Danny Brickwell and Derek Sampson, Turner was able to overpower Oliver, although the latter held back and when Oliver fought seriously, even armed with a knife and aided by a few inmates, Turner was defeated. Turner later managed to outfight Brickwell while saving Oliver without much effort.
 * Indomitable will/High pain tolerance: Turner is one of the only characters to have been shot with an arrow and still continue fighting. He was beaten by the Mirakuru enhanced Roy Harper without sustaining any serious injuries, he was later seen in prison having recovered just a short time later.
 * Peak of human physical condition: As a highly skilled assassin, Turner is in top physical condition. While fighting the Arrow, he was able to slice any arrows shot at him and proved physically powerful enough to go toe-to-toe with and even at times overpower Oliver. During his prison brawl with Oliver, Turner was able to pummel Oliver using brute strength when the latter held back but Oliver proved to be stronger and faster later on, able to overpower Turner eventually despite struggling, pushing aside Turner's knife and later pinning him down. He could even overpower and injure Danny Brickwell despite his own physical strength and resilience.
 * Stealth: Using his surroundings as a cover, Turner was able to sneak up on Oliver twice, cutting him before disappearing. He was also able to infiltrate a heavily guarded rooftop. In his last encounter he managed to surprise the Arrow and injure him after jumping from a container.

Equipment

 * Claws: As Bronze Tiger, Turner used knuckle dusters with long, claw like blades to fight, using them both offensively and defensively. The claws appear to resemble tekko-kagi, a common weapon among Japanese ninjas.
