So probably either Thea or Sara will defeat him, and since Sara will be in Legends of Tomorrow, that seems highly unlikely. So probably Thea, unless someone else uses the Lazarus Pit. How life-draining powers are useless against them. I'm pretty sure his telekenisis still works against them. If not, he can still throw things against them and stop their arrows. I think the magical tattoo Constantine gave Green Arrow, or a Deus Ex Machina weapon from the flashbacks will make him beatable. Oh, and also a Deus Ex Machina nerf...cause how do you defeat a guy who seems superior to Green Arrow in fighting (he beat Green Arrow easily in every hand-to-hand fight) and can literally survive a bomb to the face?

Also makes me bring up the point that I'm annoyed that the flashbacks take so long to be interesting because they have no story anymore. Ever since season 3, they're just there to explain where a weapon at the end comes from. It seems like the same thing is going to happen in season 4.

I liked it better when we got to see the history between characters and find out why characters are who they are in the present, like the Arrow/Deathstroke flashbacks in season 1 and 2. That was a continuous flashback from season 1 to season 2, and it thus did a great job of developing those characters and the setting for season 2. I

f you missed a few flashbacks in these seasons, you wouldn't understand the story as much. For season 3, you could miss every flashback until like the last one or two, and you'd fully understand season 3's story. Looks like the same thing - besides the Constantine flashback - is happening for season 4.
