Fictional character biography

In Star City, Stanley Dover Sr. was first seen walking down an alley where some hoodlums try to attack him only for him to be saved by Green Arrow who is back from the dead.[1]

The Star City Slayer was seen feeding a vial of blood to a creature that is imprisoned in a glass cage underground.[2] Stanley Dover later buys the Star City Youth Center and gains Mia Dearden as his first employee. He later explains to Mia that Oliver Queen "is missing time". Stanley felt that Oliver has missed the last 10 years of his life. This leads Stanley to outfit Oliver's home with outdated appliances and conveniences.[3]

A soulless Oliver Queen later finds himself at Stanley Dover's house who knocks him unconscious and brings him down to the basement. Upon regaining conscious, Oliver finds out that Stanley Dover is the Star City Slayer as he gestures to an imprisoned blonde-haired kid dressed as a purple monster.[4]

It was revealed that Dover Sr. had summoned the Beast in order to use it to grant him

Connor Hawke to fight through the demons that Dover Sr. had summoned until the monster Spot appeared to seal the door to Hell. He subsequently ate Dover Sr., later erasing the youngster's horrible memories of the act and of his imprisonment and torture to spare him from the tormented life he would otherwise endure. Stanley's will enabled Oliver Queen to get the Star City Youth Center.[5]
