Every Arrowverse Superhero: Batwoman, Flash, Supergirl, & More

The Arrowverse is one of the most expansive shared universes on television, and it's filled to the brim with DC Comics superheroes. It all started with Arrow in 2012 and then continued with The Flash in 2014, which was first set up in Arrow. From that point onward, Arrow became the breeding ground for dozens of new superheroes, crafting a multiverse as complex as that in the original DC Comics. This shared reality has grown to envelope not only the superhero shows of The CW and CW Seed (including animated series Vixen and The Ray), but even the DC Comics shows of other networks, like CBS's Supergirl (which moved to The CW with its second season) and NBC's Constantine.

Now, as the Arrowverse prepares to introduce Batwoman and (potentially) start yet another new spinoff series, it seems a good time to look back and take inventory of all the heroes that have come before. The DC Universe of the comics contains thousands of superheroes and while the Arrowverse has yet to equal that number, it has adapted a surprisingly large number of superheroes for the small screen - in just a few years, too.

First, a definition of terms. Superhero, in this case, will include anyone who has metahuman or magical powers, wears a costume, or uses a codename while fighting crime. Though their contributions to their respective teams are valuable, this listing will not include those characters who primarily fight crime as technical or legal support, such as Winn Schott, the many variations of Harrison Wells, or police officers like Joe West or Quentin Lance. This list will also skip those characters who have been said to exist but haven't actually appeared on-screen, such as the Batman of Earth 38 or The Flash of Earth 19.
