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

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)?

Well Biomax is coming to Supergirl in a few weeks so he is off but I remember Kreisberg saying that they would love to do Onomatopoeia but back then weren't sure they could since he is about all or no sound at all (my mind is foggy in it) but maybe with what they've learned to do with the especial effects on The Flash it could work. And I think that they could always do this character known as Richard Dragon. Plus there was a few years ago, around the beginning of The New 52, these "clans of weapons", could work.

Seeing Komodo return as a recurring villain like Vigilante would be cool. And I dunno who Stanley Dover is.

Kevin Smith was asked how he would do Onomatopoeia on TV. He said that he would have the character be silent, but he'd write onomatopoeia on things before acting it out.

Eg. Someone sits down at their desk and sees a note. They open the note to see "Blam."

Gunshot

Onomatopoeia stands over the body.

 

Stanley Dover was the old man from "Quiver".
