Malcolm Merlyn was the father of the late Tommy Merlyn and Thea Queen, and the husband of the late Moira Queen.

Biography[]

Early life[]

Malcolm had a son with a first wife, and named him Tommy.

Years later, he had an affair with Moira Queen and on April 18, 1994, fathered a daughter, Thea, who was raised by Moira and Robert Queen.[1][2]

At an unknown point prior to 2019, following Robert and Oliver Queen's deaths, he married Moira, combining their companies together as Queen-Merlyn Enterprises.[2]

Oliver returns and death[]

When the Oliver Queen of another Earth came to the Queen Mansion by impersonating his Earth-2 counterpart, Malcolm was alongside Moira and Tommy, ready to receive who they thought was the missing Oliver.

As a project, Malcolm wanted to use dwarf star alloys. His son Tommy stole them to plan the Undertaking. Thinking he was the responsible of a mass murder in Queen-Merlyn Enterprises, Oliver disguised as the Hood had him as a suspect due to his past experiences with Malcolm Merlyn in his Earth, but the real Dark Archer, Tommy, appeared and fought Oliver.

After Oliver persuaded Tommy to desist from the Undertaking, Tommy was sent to police custody. Moira and Malcolm came to the Starling City Police Department to visit him. Shortly after, an antimatter wave consumed the SCPD and all of Earth-2 with most of its inhabitants, except for Laurel Lance.[2]

Trivia[]

  • Malcolm likely never became a trained assassin on Earth-2.
  • Seeing as no proper mention to it was seen, it is up for debate if Malcolm's name is his proper name, or if he shares the same true name, Arthur King, with his Earth-1 counterpart.
