Biography

Attack on SCPD

Ripped was one of the Iron Heights Prison escapees who joined Slade Wilson's army.^[1] He later faked a robbery of a convenience store, where he surrendered to the police. After Ripped was brought to the Starling City Police Department precinct, 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]
