An unnamed man (died May 7, 2014), credited as "Ripped", was a former prisoner of Iron Heights Prison.
Biography
Attack on SCPD
Ripped was one of the prison escapees who joined Slade Wilson's army.[1] He later faked an attempt to rob a convenience store, where he surrendered to the police. After Ripped was brought to the Starling City Police Department, he attacked a few officers, including Kelton, before being killed by Quentin Lance with three grenades.[2]
Alternate reality
Ripped was among the foes from Team Arrow's past who appeared in a dream-like shared hallucination imposed by the Dominators on Oliver Queen, Sara Lance, John Diggle, Thea Queen, and Ray Palmer. These foes were conjured by the Dominators to keep the captured humans from breaking away from the hallucination. In a confrontation, Ripped fought and nearly overpowered Ray, but the latter managed to shoot Ripped dead.[3]
