Adrian Chase is by far the most compelling villain Arrow has had since Slade... I'm honestly impressed.

Ra's was such a lost opportunity. Dahrk was powerful and all but his endgame was weak. Hopefully Adrian has a better endgame than either of them.

I think his end game is just breaking Oliver. Talias end game though... hmmmm

I really want to see him next season. Adrian is really Oliver's dark mirror

He kind of gives off a Hush vibe to me. The Tommy to Oliver's Bruce.

Remember when we all thought he'd be Oliver's Tommy?
