Cupid (DC Comics)

Cupid is the name used by several characters in the DC Comics universe. The most prominent is Carrie Cutter, a villain frequently associated with Green Arrow.

Carrie Cutter:

Carrie Cutter debuted in Green Arrow (Vol. 5) #21 in 2013 and was created by Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino. She is portrayed as a former special forces operative who was mentally unstable due to experimentation and brainwashing. These experiments instilled in her a twisted idea of love, making her obsessively stalk and "love" Green Arrow.

Her methods of expressing this "love" are violent and homicidal. She believes that by eliminating anyone she perceives as a threat to her relationship with Green Arrow, she is protecting him and proving her devotion. She is a skilled fighter, marksman, and strategist, due to her military background.

Cupid's primary weapons are her archery skills and her unpredictability stemming from her mental instability. She often uses arrows tipped with poison or explosives. She has demonstrated a capability for strategic planning and manipulation despite her erratic behavior.

Other Versions:

While Carrie Cutter is the most well-known incarnation of Cupid, other minor characters have occasionally used the name in the DC Universe. These versions typically share the common theme of love and obsession but lack the depth and complexity of the Carrie Cutter character. Information about these other versions is sparse and varies in continuity.
