Everyone is saying that Prometheus is Tommy Merlyn. It's true! In 2x09, "3 Ghosts", Oliver had taken in a good amount of a drug (I forget what... Vertigo, maybe? The Count was dead, but IDK), causing him to hallucinate about his past, present, and future, like in Charles Dickenson's "A Christmas Carol". The "ghosts" were represented by Shado (past), Slade (present), and Tommy, who represented the Ghost of Arrow Future. But why? The other two, were literally from his past, present, and future. Tommy is also from the past.

...But is he? If Tommy somehow survived or got ressercted from the Lazarus Pit from his father, who is Ra's Al Ghul for a brief period of time, he could be Arrow's future- not as Tommy Merlyn, but as Prometheus.

Then again, Tommy could also have just been Arrow Future because what he told Oliver- to not give up.
