I'm shocked no one has tried to tie this guy to Deathstroke.
Mr. Slade deals in insurance. The Green Lantern gets involved when he first saves a man from a hit and run only for the man to die later in a suspicious accident.
Saving another man, the Emerald Gladiator discovers the man and the previous victim both signed large insurance polices, with Mr. Slade being the sole beneficiary. A coincidence surely?
GL infiltrates the underworld gambling scene and soon exposes Slade, who dies in the fight. Short but decent.
