Fan Casting Col. Taleb Beni Khalid in David S. Goyer's Green Arrow: Escape from Super Max

The head of Checkmate's Star City division, Col. Khalid is a principled military officer who believes vigilantes threaten the rule of law. He testifies before Congress, arguing that masks and capes should not be permitted to call themselves enforcers. His murder—by a Green Arrow arrow—is the inciting incident of the film. His death is a tragedy, not a relief. He wasn't a villain. He was a soldier who believed in the system. And that system failed him.
