68. Green Arrow (Latinx Delegation) – Racial Draft Season 2
Green Arrow’s new backstory — as per Martin Sanchez — is as follows:
Olivar Reina was a bit of a wild child growing up. But it was hard for him not to be as he was the heir to Reina Industries, a billion dollar corporate dynasty. As a teen, he partied, crashed cars, got into fights, among other things. And after every time he would do something like this, he would always get the same lecture from his Guatemalan father, Roberto: “I worked hard to get us to where we are now. And you seem to be trying to ruin every bit of good faith I have built in this city. Every time you do something this stupid, you give us all a bad name.”
Unfortunately, everything his dad said would go in one ear and out the other, and Olivar would continue his ways into adulthood. One day while partying on his private boat in the Pacific Ocean, a storm hit, and while everyone else was perfectly safe, Olivar was knocked off his boat. He eventually landed on an island where he would have to hunt to survive. Remembering the archery skills his father insisted on teaching him (which he mostly ended up using as party tricks), Olivar decided to make a bow and arrows to aid him in his survival. 6 months into his isolation, he discovered on the other side of the island was a drug smuggling ring, and he took it upon himself to take it down.
After successfully stopping the bad guys, he used their radio to get into contact with the authorities so he could be rescued. Upon his return to Star City as a changed man, Olivar gave up his former ways, to an extent. He started fighting for social justice as the new head of Reina Industries, but that was not the only kind of fighting he would do. Quite enjoying the feeling he got when stopping those criminals, Olivar donned a green costume, inspired by legendary figure Robin Hood, and he took to the streets of Star City as the Emerald Archer, the Green Arrow.
The Latinx delegation has also provided a fancast: Josh Segarra, who technically already played a version of Green Arrow on the CW.

59. Blade (Latinx Delegation) – Racial Draft Season 2
Blade’s new backstory — as per Martin Sanchez — is as follows:
“In 1922, Lucio Cruz was a member of the Cuban division of the Order of Tyrana, a secret society that specializes in Vampires, along with other occult matters. After he got on the wrong side of a high-ranking vampire member of organized crime, who hated Lucio mostly because he was Afro-Cuban, Lucio insisted his pregnant wife, Teresa, flee to Mexico while he dealt with the aftermath.
Once arriving in Mexico, Teresa took on the pseudonym “Vanessa Bracero” and met up with the owner of a brothel, Esmerelda, whom Lucio asked to shelter his wife. She went into labor during her time in Mexico, experiencing complications during the process. She was forced to seek a doctor’s assistance. Unfortunately for her, her doctor was secretly a vampire. He feasted on her as she gave birth, which altered her baby into a Dhampir, a half-human, half-vampire hybrid. Esmerelda was able to chase the vampire away before he could do anything to the child. That child became known as Enrique “Erik” Bracero and was raised at Esmerelda’s brothel.
Now a pre-teen, Erik comes into contact with an American vampire slayer. The American had heard tales of a nest of vampires who own and operate a strip club built on top of a partially buried Aztec temple, and have been luring bikers and truckers in before feasting on them. The vampire slayer found out about Erik’s origins and offered to take him under his wing, which Erik gladly accepted, sensing a way to one day avenge his mother’s murder. Due to being a Dhampir, Erik possessed a superhuman physiology, making him the perfect vampire hunter.
Now, thanks to his prolonged lifespan, he continues the good fight into the modern day, occasionally offering his assistance to other heroes he meets along the way. But his main goals are still the same: avenge his mother’s death and rid the world of all vampires.”
The Latinx delegation has also provided a fancast: Laz Alonso

56. John Stewart (Multiracial Delegation) – Racial Draft Season 2
John Stewart’s new backstory — as per Kevin Shepard — is as follows:
“John was born to William Stewart and Takako Higa (writing it in the English method) at Torii Station in Okinawa, Japan. His father was a Sergeant First Class and his mother was an artist.
John spent the first 8 years of his life on the island until his father’s retirement. After his father retired, John and both of his parents moved to his father’s home in Detroit, where John grew up. There, John was able to maintain close ties to his family in Japan as well as meet his large family in Detroit. His father taught his duty while his mother encouraged his artistic side.
John always had thoughts about blending his two worlds, of infusing the unique architecture of Okinawa with the soul and music of Detroit. But college is expensive. So John joined the Marines as another way of honoring and trying to succeed past his father. After completing boot camp and Infantry school, John was stationed back at Okinawa, due in part due to being requested by his uncle, who was a Lt. Colonel in the JSDF. Performing well, he was selected for Scout Sniper school, and was reassigned upon completion of school back to a SOC (Special Operations Capable) MEU (Marine Expeditionary Unit). During this time, John put himself through college to become an architect.
From there, John’s story blends together with his remaining history as a GL.The new backstory gives John actual supporting characters (which he has none of) and inspiration for more varied designs of his constructs to include Okinawan architecture cues, as well as more Marine Corp references.”
