Prometheus (Arrowverse)

Adrian Chase was the main antagonist of the fifth season of the TV show Arrow. Born Simon Morrison, he was the district attorney of Star City and the serial killer known as Prometheus, labeled the "Throwing Star Killer" by the media. After Oliver Queen/The Hood killed his father Justin Claybourne, he crusaded against the Green Arrow (Oliver's current alter-ego) in order to ruin his life and legacy. Chase is portrayed by actor Josh Segarra.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) Josh Segarra portrays Chase fantastically; it feels almost as if he is an actual psychopathic serial killer. An episode that demonstrates his skill is "Kapishuon."
 * 2) His reveal as Prometheus came as a shock to practically everyone, as they thought he would be Vigilante as in the comics.
 * 3) He was one of the few villains to truly break Oliver and convince him that he (Oliver) killed because he wanted to and liked it.
 * 4) Compelling backstory.
 * 5) Memorable quotes. Example include:
 * 6) He was a tactical genius. He planned everything carefully so that his plans would succeed. Even if they didn't, he would have backup plans.
 * 7) He taught Oliver that his actions could have unforeseen consequences, ultimately helping him become a better person.
 * 8) He managed to use Oliver's strength, his friends, against him and turn them into his weakness.
 * 9) He committed suicide just to make Oliver suffer with the pain of losing those he loves by implanting a kill switch that detonates bombs upon his (Chase's) death.
 * 10) Some of his words foreshadowed his reveal as Prometheus. Examples include:

Bad Qualities

 * 1) His death killed almost no one except Samantha Clayton (Oliver's son's mother) and only put Thea Queen (Oliver's sister) in a coma, making his death almost useless.
