Lioness Star LaMonica Garrett Played Two Of The Most Powerful Arrowverse Characters

Before becoming a mainstay on Lioness, LaMonica Garrett graced the Arrowverse by playing two of the strongest characters in the DC multiverse.

Lioness Star LaMonica Garrett Played Two Of The Most Powerful Arrowverse Characters

LaMonica Garrett, known for her role as U.S. Marine and QRF operator Tucker in the Arrowverse, has played two of the most powerful characters in the multiverse. First appearing as Mar Novu, The Monitor, in the three-part Elseworlds event in 2018, Garrett later became the series regular for the five-part Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover in 2019.

As the Monitor, Garrett's dual role tested the multiverse's champions against his anti-matter counterpart, Mobius, the Anti-Monitor. This was the only Arrowverse event where Garrett was a series regular across multiple programs, excluding Black Lightning. As a DC Comics fan, Garrett consulted comic lore when playing the character.

However, playing two antithetical roles was challenging due to the crossover's intense shooting schedule, often requiring Garrett to switch between Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow on the same day. After Crisis on Infinite Earths ended, Garrett's character was killed off, appearing only once more in an uncredited cameo during the Arrow series finale.

Despite this, Garrett has yet to return to any other live-action DC Comics show, leaving the possibility of future appearances open.
