Turning Green Arrow into a junkie.

Jock -- because he makes me look good!
3) What character you have never worked .., would you like to do & why?
Nick Fury, because he's the ultimate badass. I'll have to get rid of Bendis and Hickman first, though. Make it look like an accident.

John Wagner, James Cameron, William Gibson, Steven Spielberg, Elmore Leonard, Garth Ennis. Lots more probably.
5) What hero or villain would you like to change if you could and why?
I'd give Blade his balls back.
