The third suspect of being the Long Bow Hunter is Thomas Hallaway. He is a very niche character with no real connection to Green Arrow in mainline. Alias The Spider, or The Spider was a Quality Comics character, that company got bought by DC (You may know than better for being the creators of Plastic Man). He was a rich guy who decided to fight crime using a bow and arrow. He wasn't a very popular character even in Quality's own lineup. But then enters Starman. Now, Starman was a Golden Age hero and in the 90s there was a Starman run that followed the second son of the original Starman, Jack Knight, filling up the role in his own way after the murder of his older brother, a very mature story, more in a Hellblazer Constantine way than 90s edgy, especially with it's very punk aesthetics. It was very successful, going on for 80 or so issues and is considered on of the best comic runs in DC, to the point that no one has touched Jack Knight after that because his story was basically over. But the other breakout character from that run was The Shade (Not the Changing Man, this was a villain of Jay Garrick Flash in the Golden Age), who got retconned from being a gentleman thief with tech that allowed him to control shadows, into a morally ambiguous Victorian-era immortal who gained the ability to manipulate shadows and immortality (the tech stuff getting explained as him nerfing himself because he looked foward to facing the Flash more than stealing). He got his own spinoff title, and not to spend much time explaining Shade even more and getting to business, in one of the issues, it tells a story that because Jay was getting married and planning to retire, the Spider assumed his role as hero of the city. Shade curious about knowing if this new hero was a worthy rival, investigated into Spider and discovered the terrifying secret that he was actually a criminal that used the guise of a hero to remove competition in underworld activities, also that he was part of the Ludlow family, an old New England family that crossed Shade's path in the past, so Thomas also had a score to settle (generationsl family grudges are usual for Shade). Shade also uncovers a plot he had to kill Jay and his wife while also framing the immortal, so they fought and Shade killed him. Though his son, also assuming the identity of Spider, joined other villains to take down Starman and Shade in the final arc.
For what to expect from his Absolute version? Probably the one of the suspects who comes closer to Green Arrow in terms of brutality, though likely not in morality. Could see him becoming a copycat killer who will use Green Arrow's name to murder someone though
