User blog:Nightslayer2/Who Do You Guys Want Vigilante To Be?

Hey guys! I keep wondering who Vigilante is, but I want to know who everyone else thinks he should be or thinks he should be. Here are some ideas on who he could be revealed as.

Dorian Chase: I think there is zero evidence proving that Adrian Chase has a brother and that he exists in this universe. However, I think it would be cool if Dorian turned out to be Vigilante. In Fighting Fire With Fire, when Adrian or Simon is talking to Dinah, he acted a bit weird when Dinah was lying about her family and saying that family is important as well as hoping everything is okay with her family. He could've been talking about how much he missed Justin Claybourne or talking about Dorian. What if Justin Claybourne and Adrian's mother Amanda Westfield had twins? One brother grew up disliking the Arrow for what he did to his father and the other brother hated Justin Claybourne because of his corruption which inspired him to become like his father's killer. When Prometheus and Vigilante were fighting in that episode, I kind of felt that this was like a brotherly conflict like one brother wanting to play with a toy and the other brother not letting him because he wants it for himself. I'm being ironic when I say this because Vigilante and Prometheus were both fighting over who should be dealing with Oliver Queen in their own way when they both had reasons for disliking him. When Team Arrow went looking for Amanda Westfield, they discovere she was already moved by Adrian? What if the only reason Vigilante hasn't been seen is because Adrian had their mother taken hostage? Adrian's a sociopath and he did kill his wife. What if the hatred Adrian has for Oliver outweights the love he has for his mother? That would be an interesting storyline to explore as well as Oliver trying to prevent Dorian from becoming mentally unstable like his brother.

John Stewart: I know this may seem weird. But what if John Stewart turned out to be Vigilante? That would be an interesting plot twist. I kind of gotten the idea from the producers making Adrian Chase turn out to be Prometheus instead of Vigilante and from a fan theory that Vigilante may have served in the military under General Walker or at A.R.G.U.S. I did some research on Vigilante and discovered he has skills in hacking, shooting, and being an athlete. If Vigilante is an A.R.G.U.S agent, then he would've developed Amanda Waller's philosophy that the ends always justify the means even if it means making sacrifices just like when Vigilante killed all those people in the first episode he appeared in while hunting Eric Dunn. If Vigilante did serve in the Army under General Walker, then he would've suffered PTSD due to loosing a lot of people during his time at war and John Stewart does serve in the army like in the comics. In the sixth season, they said Diggle will be broken both physically and emotionally because of everything that has happened on Lian Yu. I think that if John Stewart is Vigilante, he would be the perfect antagonist and a dark mirror towards Diggle. If he's with A.R.G.U.S after serving in the Army with General Walker, then that would explain why we haven't seen him that much since Lyla assigned him on an important mission. Lyla gets suspicious of Stewart and investigates him to discover Stewart has been using A.R.G.U.S equipment for his crusade as Vigilante. Lyla and her agents try to stop Stewart only for Stewart to send Lyla into the hospital during a shootout while killing all of her agents since Vigilante is willing to sacrifice other people. That makes Diggle the acting head of A.R.G.U.S and he tries to bring in Stewart. I personally think that Diggle should have an antagonist in the sixth season, so why not a darker version of himself? Or John could've served in the marines along with Rene before they were discharged. Perhaps John would be the perfect antagonist for Rene as well as Diggle.

Frank Pike: A lot of people think that Vigilante is Frank Pike. I honestly do too because of what I said in my previous blog. I kind of thought about what inspired him to be Vigilante. Like after the events involving Damien Dhark, Pike and his fiance were walking to dinner until she was gunned down by the Triads, who were attempting to kill Pike. Pike was outraged when there was no evidence against them and decided to take matters into his own hands as well as because of a lot of his fellow officers died on the people because of everything that this city is facing. I personally wouldn't mind taking matters into my hands if I was living in Star City, but I wouldn't be killing people. Anyway, just like in my previous  blog, Pike has the perfect means, motives, and opportunities to become Vigilante. Also, ever since he ended up in a coma at the hospital, Vigilante hasn't been seen. One of the motives count as Pike disliking Oliver for covering the circumstances regarding Billy Malone's death and Vigilante was pretty pissed at Oliver about this in the episode where he tried to kill him. Pike would even have access to the military equipment that Liza Warner was using during her time in the Anti Vigilante Task Force.

Walter Steele: Walter Steele might be the Vigilante because Walter seems to have morals. After learning that Moira Queen is corrupt, Walter divorced her and left Queen Consolidated to work as the CFO of Starling Trust Bank. However, if the Starling Trust Bank was renamed to the Star City Trust Bank, then Walter probably resigned because of them doing business with the Triads. One of Vigilante's first missions was stopping the Triads from doing their gun running deals and money laundering activities in the Star City Trust Bank. Walter was kidnapped in season 1, so he was traumatized by it which is why he decided to learn how to fight in order to cope with this problem. Also, Walter has the qualifications to earn enough money to fund his crusade as Vigilante. One thing to rule out Walter as the Vigilante is when Vigilante attacked Oliver and Thea since Walter wouldn't try to hurt them out of respect for Robert. However, Walter probably did that because he thought Oliver and Thea were becoming immoral like Moira was.

Tommy Merlyn: I have this weird feeling that Malcolm used the Lazarus Pit to bring Tommy back from the dead and Tommy was in hiding this whole time. However, Tommy decided to become Vigilante after Laurel got killed by Damien Dhark and decided to become brutal like Oliver was before feeling that if Oliver wasn't by killing Damian Dhark when he had the chance, then Laurel would still be alive. Tommy has the resources to train himself and get the equipment he needs as Vigilante. He probably attacked Oliver thinking that Oliver was being unethical when Oliver covered up the circumstances regarding Detective Malone's death. I think that would also be an interesting plot twist to explore and we know how Tommy is always willing to help the people he cares about the most.

Somebody From Flashpoint: Both The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow have shown us the impact of time travel, and with Barry decision to create a new timeline, it had a similar impact on Team Arrow. John's baby daughter Sara Diggle was replaced with John Diggle Jr. who would some day become the Green Arrow in an potential future. What if Vigilante was also created as a result of Flashpoint? That would be something interesting to explore and I would love to see more of Flashpoint. I also would like to see that Simon Morrison Aka Adrian Chase was Vigilante in Flashpoint after finding out that his father secretly planned to disown him because I've often wondered what would've happened if Adrian had found out before starting his mission as Prometheus.

Lonnie Machin: Machin always does like to cause trouble for the people of Star City. Him him revealed as Vigilante woudl make the whole Vigilante storyline a lot more personal for Team Arrow as well as for Thea, who will probably be dealing with the death of Malcolm in season 6, since Machin killed her boyfriend Alex Davis. After failing to take down the Green Arrow so many times, Machin decides to become a better vigilante than him than he does while still killing people and this would be something people would not see coming.

Someone's Doppelganger: We've seen a lot of doppelgangers on earths one, two, and three. So what if Vigilante is someone's doppelganger from one of those earths, or from Earth 38 where Supergirl is from? Perhaps Vigilante turns out to be a doppelganger of Phillip Karnowsky, Hank Henshaw, Adam Foster, or someone else? I think that would be pretty interesting if that were to be applied in the four way crossover. I liked the fact that Vigilante got to appearing during that, so why have that happen again.

What do you guys think?
