We see a new vigilante at the end of the season 2 premiere, but we don't see her face.

[[WMG: Oliver wasn't alone on the island]]
One can accept that Oliver's survival ordeal honed him into a lean, mean, muscled badass. One can accept (barely) that in five years he became a crack shot by reinventing archery with a homemade bow, and that he had previous knowledge of Buddhism that inspired him to keep a Buddhist symbol as a token for his sister. But ''nobody'' spontaneously learns martial arts combat training or the ''Russian language'' (to say nothing of ''hacking skills'') alone on desolate island. Some person(s) was already on the island when Oliver arrived or arrived there later, trained Oliver in Russian and street fighting, then either died, was killed by Oliver, or abandoned Oliver on the island again. Or Oliver found a convenient if eclectic abandoned library of Introductory Russian, An Idiot's Guide to hacking, and Elementary Asskicking, and to kill five years, he memorized the lot.
* It's pretty clear he wasn't alone on the island. Considering that we saw Deathstroke's mask there, there's a chance he was with Deathstroke (Slade Wilson) on the island for most of the time. Later evidence shows another man with Oliver wearing a green hood that's teaching him archery.
* "Honor Thy Father" proves there was at least one other person on the island.
** Unless that's an hallucination, a metaphorical death. Oliver always says he "died" on the island.
* Confirmed in "Lone Gunmen".
[[WMG: Diggle's brother was killed by Deadshot]]
In episode 3, Diggle mentioned that his brother is "out of the picture".
One of the names tattooed on Deadshot's body is "Andrew Diggle"
The name may just be (like Didggle's) a reference to Andy Diggle, co-creator of ''Green Arrow: Year One'', but the coincidence is too much to overlook.
* The name is certainly strong evidence but am I the only one who would find that incredibly disappointing? Dig's conversation with his sister in law tells us that he died because of his job as a security consultant and it seems a little odd that someone would hire a high end assassin to take out a bodyguard. You could work a false flag wounded gazelle style conspiracy out of it I suppose but I was kind of hoping Diggle's brother was going to turn out to be one of the seemingly random security guards Green Arrow had cut down and that Oliver was going to learn a hard lesson on just why Batman is so hesitant to kill. :Update: Deadshot having killed Dig's brother is seemingly confirmed in episode 4.
* You don't hire an assassin to kill a bodyguard, sure. But you do hire a bodyguard to protect someone an assassin would kill and it's possible that one would die while doing so. Deadshot may very well have felt that to kill one target, he needed to kill another - EG Andrew Diggle was a WorthyOpponent.
** I can see him killing Diggle for personal reasons though more out of professional pride than because of any sense of respect. An assassin who tattoo's every targets name onto his body after a successful hit probably isn't going to tattoo someone's name on because they just got in the way ala a bodyguard diving in front of a bullet unless they are extremely obsessive (I mean more obsessive than the tattoo thing would require in the first place). Though if Andrew managed to push the target out of the way or outsmart him with a decoy or anything that a sniper might find embarrassing Deadshot might kill him after he managed to kill the target in order to protect his reputation. Hence justifying the tattoo. Or they are going to go the conspiracy route where the bodyguard gets shot to make it look like a failed assassination so a politician gets a reputation boost or something but that seems far fetched.
** Considering how good Deadshot is and what kind of professional he is, I don't see him signing up for a fake assassination or if he did, he'd probably wouldn't tattoo the guys name on him unless, as mentioned, Andrew did something big. It does suggest an alternative though where Deadshot was paid to kill Andrew but not told Andrew was a fake target.
* Confirmed in "Dead To Rights".
[[WMG: We haven't seen the last of the NotQuiteDead [[spoiler:Deadshot.]]]]
He'll be back, minus an eye lost to arrow-fire, and bent on revenge against Arrow for maiming him. For an added twist, his [[spoiler: daughter Zoe ]] could be living in Star City.
* The eyepatch will become more of an implant this time around.
* For yet another twist: [[spoiler:Deadshot]] will return as an AntiHero, seeking to join forces with Arrow to take down a mutual enemy. This will lead to conflict between Oliver and Diggle, [[spoiler:because Deadshot killed Diggle's brother.]]
* I approve, [[spoiler:Deadshot]] is, in the right writer's hands, way too interesting to be used up in one appearance. For another guess, maybe somehow this brush with death will leave [[spoiler: him with his "death seeker" trait]] from the comics.
* Confirmed by WordofGod. [[spoiler:The Man That Doesn't Miss]] will be back in a future episode.
[[WMG: [[spoiler:In the next episode, John will help clear Oliver's name]]]]
...[[spoiler:by disguising himself as Green Arrow when Oliver is present.]]
* This will somehow work despite [[spoiler: Oliver!Arrow and Diggle!Arrow clearly being of different races]].
** It's possible that this is the episode where Huntress makes her first appearance. As long as its the cops don't see who is firing the hyper-accurate crossbow bolts they might just assume Arrow is in a "[[CherryTapping lets see if I can just use my arm darts]]" phase and that they [[spoiler:have the wrong guy.]] Combine that with the almost comical amount of [[spoiler: conflict of interest that inevitably arises when the arrested individual happens to be hated by the arrestee for getting his daughter killed and Oliver should be out of the slammer in half an hour.]] That said if she does show up she isn't going to get any actual focus until episode 8. Lets face it the episode titled "Vendetta" is obviously the main Huntress episode even if it isn't her first appearance.
*** OP is confirmed while Huntress entry is Jossed.
[[WMG: Moira will eventually decide to leave the Organization.]]

Malcolm Merlyn seems very driven by the death of his wife in a criminal act. Also, he wants to shut down the clinic she founded, stop a gentrification project, and when did he disown Tommy? When he ran a fundraiser for a legal aid organization. Plus the other members on the list all seem to be doing their part to turn Starling City into the worst hellhole it can be. The Plan very well could be to bring the whole thing crashing down then clear out the rubble and start over from scratch.

[[WMG: Frank Chen will be killed off.]]
Malcolm will be getting close to the traitor, and Chen decides to take the fall for Moira.

[WMG: Malcolm will die at the end of season 1.]]
Tommy will just happen to be in The Glades when the [[BuffySpeak disaster-bomb-thing]] goes off, and Malcolm will sacrifice himself, to save him, which would bring about RedemptionEqualsDeath. Then, Tommy, who has noticeably been going "downhill", will blame his father's death on Oliver, and will embark on a [[{{Film/SpiderMan}} Harry Osborn-esque]] [[RevengeBeforeReason vendetta]], thus setting him up to be the true BigBad.
* [[spoiler:Confirmed.]]
** Not so much...[[spoiler:Malcolm is killed, but that doesn't save Tommy from dying.]]
[[WMG: Ollie will be inspired by [[spoiler: Tommy's death]]]]
With the destruction of Starling City and the [[spoiler: death of his best friend]], Ollie will finally become the no-killing hero the fandom knows him as. In an odd way of honouring him, Ollie will adopt the name Green Arrow and will truly fight injustice in Starling City.
* WordOfGod and Stephen Amell have confirmed that [[spoiler: Tommy's]] death, and more specifically what he thought of Oliver when he died, will leave a lasting impact on Oliver, and will dictate his actions for the remainder of the series.
** Confirmed totally in the second season. [[spoiler: Oliver doesn't want to kill people anymore, as he feels that it will dishonor Tommy's memory.]]
