Green Arrow in other media
On January 18, 2012, The CW green-lit a pilot for a proposed Green Arrow series with Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg producing. The series, "Arrow", offers a fresh take on the character, and initially does not feature superpowers, as a way to take a realistic look at the characters in this universe. In addition to the character's experiences as the hero Green Arrow, the series also features flashbacks to Oliver's time on the island and the events that shaped him into the hero in the present. Stephen Amell portrays Oliver Queen in the series. It premiered in North America on October 10, 2012, and has aired six seasons. On April 2, 2018, The CW renewed the series for a seventh season. Oliver Queen has made multiple appearances in the "Arrow" spin-offs "The Flash" and "Legends of Tomorrow" and one episode of "Supergirl" with Stephen Amell reprising the role. Those series are set in a shared universe called the Arrowverse.
List of recurring Arrow characters
Damien Darhk (portrayed by Neal McDonough) is a former member of the League of Assassins and a friend-turned-adversary to Raʾs al Ghul. He is the main antagonist of season four. Years ago, Darhk left the League after being denied its leadership, taking a sample of the Lazarus Pit and several League members with him after Raʾs failed orders to execute him. He leads his own clandestine group, H.I.V.E., and plots to start a nuclear holocaust in order to rule a post-apocalyptic world in a plan known as "Genesis". According to Raʾs, Darhk also orchestrated Bronze Tiger's plot to steal Malcolm's prototype earthquake machine and Mark Shaw's attempt to acquire the A.R.G.U.S. file. In season four, he is introduced as the main antagonist, a formidable hand-to-hand combatant with mystical abilities—he can remotely manipulate objects and people, and can drain the life force from a person through physical contact. Darhk becomes enemies of Green Arrow and Oliver, believing the two are working together and not the same man (although he does express suspicions). Darhk also kidnapped Ray Palmer to steal his technology for Genesis. He ultimately deduces the true identities of the entire Arrow team. Despite being a sadistic terrorist leader, Darhk is also a loving father and husband; his wife, Ruvé Adams, also shares her spouse's cruelty and is supportive of his endeavors. Through Malcolm, Darhk learns that Oliver has fathered a son and uses him as a means to scuttle Oliver's mayoral campaign. Quentin and Mari McCabe discover that a mystical idol in Darhk's possession is the source of his supernatural powers, and Mari destroys it, leaving Darhk powerless and imprisoned. He later escapes with the assistance of Malcolm and Andy, regaining his powers from his rebuilt idol in the process, and kills Quentin's daughter, Laurel, in retaliation for his imprisonment. Following the destruction of Genesis and his wife's death, Darhk attempts to destroy all of Star City, but the idol is destroyed once more, nullifying his powers. Darhk fights Oliver but is overpowered, and taunts Oliver stating he spared Slade Wilson when he killed his mother. Oliver reminds Darhk of his crimes and kills him.
