Warning! Spoilers ahead for Checkmate #5

DC’s Captain America counterpart just proved that Marvel’s Super Soldier would absolutely destroy one DC hero. In DC Comics’ new Checkmate series, Leviathan has become a major force to be reckoned with in the world’s intelligence community, and their only major competition is the newest iteration of Checkmate, a small group of spymasters determined to take Leviathan down. However, when Leviathan agents attack Checkmate’s secret base led by the shield-carrying Guardian, there’s surprisingly very little Oliver Queen’s Green Arrow can do to stop him.

DC’s Guardian was first created in 1942 by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, just 13 months after they had worked together to create Marvel’s Captain America. Carrying a similar shield and bright costume, it’s clear that the duo was hoping for the same levels of success they’d had with Steve Rogers. However, while Guardian did not have the same rise in popularity Rogers has had, he’s still had a role within the DC Universe, primarily working as the head of security for Cadmus Labs as well as in this new series from Brian Michael Bensi and Alex Maleev where he’s working for Leviathan, the new intelligence organization run by Mark Shaw that seeks to protect and reshape the world by force.

Interestingly enough, it seems as though Green Arrow is unable to overtake Guardian in the new Checkmate #5 leading Leviathan’s forces. Blocking Oliver Queen’s arrows with his shield with minimal effort, Guardian and Leviathan end up forcing the spymasters of Checkmate to escape via teleportation in order to survive. Furthermore, seeing as how Guardian was meant to be DC’s version of Captain America without the benefits of Steve Rogers’ Super Soldier Serum, it seems pretty clear that the First Avenger could easily take Green Arrow down if the two heroes were to ever face one another in a future Marvel/DC crossover event.

Because Guardian seemingly has no problem blocking Green Arrow’s attacks with just his shield (and no actual superpowers), it stands to reason that Captain America (who has the Super Solider serum and a bigger shield) would no doubt destroy Oliver Queen. While the added advantage of trick arrows could possibly work in Green Arrow’s favor, Guardian’s success against Queen essentially guarantees a victory for Steve Rogers. After all, he’s basically the bigger, better, and stronger version of Guardian himself.

Whether it’s DC’s Guardian or Marvel’s Captain America, it seems as though shields trump arrows in the comics at least when the Green Arrow is concerned. While one might think Oliver Queen should’ve had some better success against Guardian and Leviathan in this new issue given his skills as a master archer, it seems as though there wasn’t much he could do against Guardian. As a result, it seems clear that if Green Arrow can’t get the drop on DC’s lesser version of Captain America, there’s no way he could take down the actual Steve Rogers of Marvel Comics.
