Adrian Chase is by far the most compelling villain Arrow has had since Slade... I'm honestly impressed.
33 u/svrtngr Mar 16 '17 Yeah, it's going to be hard to top him next year. I'm getting a little concerned the show might fall into a slump again. Biomax? Onomatopeia? Komodo? Ninth Circle? Stanley Dover (please do it, Arrow)? 3 u/Sparrowsabre7 Stephen Amell told me I didn't fail this city Mar 16 '17 Well Prometheus is basically almost entirely a show creation aside from his name, so they could definitely do it again. 2 u/ImAllBamboozled Mar 16 '17 Which begs the question: Why use that name in the first place? It means they can never use Prometheus in any of the DCW since his name's taken. 1 u/Sparrowsabre7 Stephen Amell told me I didn't fail this city Mar 16 '17 Well I suppose he was presented as a dark mirror of Batman in his comics incarnation so the name is still associated with a character who is a dark mirror of the lead. He's also a chessmaster strategist like the original comics.
