DC Comics villain Anarky DC Comics

While the mysterious and deadly Damien Darhk is the primary villain for this season, fans can expect Batman villain Anarky to cause some major trouble for Team Arrow. The character is described as "a deranged freelancing criminal who is willing to do whatever it takes to impress a potential employer".

In the comics Anarky is a tech genius whose fighting skills are said to rival that of Batman's, but it remains to be seen if this TV take on the character will exhibit those traits.

The other character, who will join the good guys on the show, is DC superhero – Mr Terrific aka Curtis Holt. Here is how Entertainment Weekly describes the character: "[Curtis] Holt is a technological savant and inventor who works at Palmer Technologies under the supervision of Felicity Smoak."
