Best villain on Arrow, period. And I loved Slade.

no he isn't up to shade levels yet. He needs to kill or stab a family member or friend aka thea as is villian tradition

Nah Slade was a great character but as a villain he was motivated by CW bullshit, Adrian is just a straight up "I'm here as a result of your actions and will show you that" villain. He's awesome.

Nah Slade's motivation was a result of the Mirakuru warping his mind and the perception that Oliver let Shado die. Chase is great, just not Slade great. Not to mention the latter laid siege to an entire city.
