I just realized that this is a pretty faithful adaptation of the original character.
Putting aside the whole power stealing thing, the original was the son of criminals who wages a war against the forces of justice when his parents were killed by the police.
Eh I wouldn't call any character in Arrow faithful. that being said he was still a great villain.

was his mom just an enabler (might know he's crazy but won't give him up) rather than be an outright criminal?
how many characters have seriously exceeded expectations by the time their arc is done? iirc people weren't too hot on the 'dark archer' thing as well as the costume but by the end of season 5 he's pretty much loved.

He's right up there with Eobard Thawne as far as the CW-verse is concerned. Reverse Flash has been pretty consistently great.

this, only time I didn't like Thawne was his stupidity in the Legends finale
>>93861988
Who?
>>93862554
yeah it's kinda sad they just HAD to make him a dumb-ass at the end just to sneak out a win.
outside of recruiting other speedsters (somehow) just for that instance, how WOULD they have beaten thawne and his remnants?
firestorm could probably transmute stuff
>>93862657
Firestorm doesn't use their transmutation powers nearly enough. I get that they're not very good at it, but...practice?
>>93863718
it makes them too overpowered
>>93862042
their Clock King was pretty faithful

Also it's probably a production costs thing.

>The reveal where he's Adrian Chase thus throwing every comic reader off
That was a good swerve
