Fun fact: His real last name, theoretically, is "King" and Oliver's last name is "Queen". Furthermore, his real name, reversed, is "King Arthur". And, ironically, his legal last name is "Merlyn". Only a reference to Lancelot is missing. Isn't this funny?😆
I have to say that it seems a little absurd to me that Dark Archer has practically redeemed himself, since he's Green Arrow's archenemy and the main antagonist of the series.
Is he the main antagonist of the series? I never really saw this show as having a "main antagonist" but instead, like most live action comic book TV shows, season villains with a few recurring faces. Dark Archer is one of those villains that was a main antagonist for one season and then became a recurring side threat. His redemption is really just his contorted love for his daughter finally bringing to a place of sacrificial death.
Arthur King\Malcolm Merlyn/Al Sa-Her\Dark Archer. (Although it bothers me that his real name, "Arthur King", wasn't revealed in the series and that they gave him a name that has the letter 'm' repeated. If you know what I mean.)
Mia Queen/Green Arrow/Blackstar (Arrow 7-8, Supergirl 5×08 and The Flash Seanson 8); Acrata, Rama Khan, Nyxly, Mxyzptlk and Red Daughter (Supergirl) and Red Death (The Flash); please?
