## Publication history

[edit]

Created by writer Andrew Kreisberg and artist David Baron, the character made her first appearance in Green Arrow and Black Canary #15 (February 2009).[1]

## Fictional character biography

[edit]

Carrie Cutter is a special ops soldier who works for the top-secret program COBALT.[2] She volunteers for a program that will eliminate her fear, but instead makes her emotionally unstable.[3]

As Cupid, Cutter murders several minor enemies of Green Arrow in an attempt to gain his affection.[4] This attracts the attention of crime boss Brick, who she kills with a wrecking ball.[5][6][7]

Cupid works with Everyman, who has sustained amnesia and believes himself to be Green Arrow.[8] She later betrays and kills Everyman, declaring their relationship as "a rebound thing".[9]

Green Arrow and Black Canary later meet with COBALT engineer Victor Turlough to restore Cupid's sanity. She apologizes for her actions before COBALT agents take her away.[9]

## Powers and abilities

[edit]

Cupid is an exceptional hand-to-hand combatant and possesses superhuman physical abilities.[3]

Cupid (Amy Gumenick) as she appears in the TV series Arrow

* Cupid appears in the "Green Arrow" segment of DC Nation Shorts, voiced by Kari Wahlgren.
* Carrie Cutter appears in Arrow, portrayed by Amy Gumenick.[10] This version is a former member of the Star City Police Department's S.W.A.T. team who was forced to leave because of an attachment disorder. Oliver Queen / Arrow rescues Cutter during Slade Wilson's attack on Starling City, leading to her developing an obsession with him and seeing herself as his partner. Queen later apprehends Cutter and sends her to A.R.G.U.S. rather than prison due to her condition. Later in the series, Cutter joins Amanda Waller's Suicide Squad and becomes enamored with teammate Floyd Lawton until he is killed in battle.
* The Arrow incarnation of Carrie Cutter appears in The Flash: Season Zero. As part of a squad mission, she, Lawton, and Digger Harkness observe the Flash's fight with King Shark and attempt to recruit the latter.
