User blog:Nightslayer2/Who Is The Copy Cat Archer?

I just saw the trailer for season 7 of Arrow and I must say I'm hyped for that. I have one question though: is that a copy cat pretending to be Green Arrow or is that Oliver? Here's my theories on who it could be.

Oliver Queen-I saw a youtube comment that said Oliver Queen is prisoner by day and vigilante by night. Is that possible that was part of his deal with Agent Watson? I mean, what if Watson planned all of this so Oliver could infiltrate the prison to bring down a mobster who is running the prison or his criminal empire behind bars? In the meantime, Watson and Oliver worked on a secret project where Oliver would go to Star City on certain nights and do things for the FBI as the Green Arrow? This could be possible, I mean when Oliver was making his confession during a press conference, I mean he could have been faking all of this. With the new Green Arrow suddenly appearing and firing arrows, people will start to wonder if Oliver was telling the truth or not. Could it be Oliver who decided to put killing back on the table?

John Diggle-I doubt it. The copycat archer was killing people in the trailer in cold blood which is something that Diggle would never do?

Connor Hawke-In Legends of Tomorrow, we saw the Legends meet Connor Hawke, John Diggle and Lyla Michael's son. Connor was acting like judge, jury, and executioner similar to Oliver's old days as the Hood. I know stuff like this would be experienced by Barry, Kara, and Legends, but what if this is possible? In the future, John Diggle Jr/Connor was noted to be impulsive, as shown when he attacks strangers on sight and only asks questions after, but like his predecessor, Oliver Queen, he has a sense of justice, honor and good morals. I think that Connor ended up in Oliver's timeline as a result of an time abberation or went back voluntarily because of Oliver revealing his identity to the world. I think it would be an interesting storyline to see John and Lyla meet an older version of their son, I wonder how they would react to it.

The Merlyns-It could be Malcolm who survived the events of Lian Yu or Tommy who was revived by the Lazarus Pits. I doubt these actions are going to be coming back since Barrowman wants to take a break due to appearing in two shows for the whole year and the actor who plays Tommy might want to stay on Chicago M.D a little longer.

Quentin Lance or Frank Pike-They said that Quentin Lance could be still be alive. They made Mr. Lance like James Gordon where Lance shares Oliver's deep commitment to ridding the city of crime. Quentin is somewhat skeptical of Green Arrow's vigilante methods, but nevertheless believes that the city needs him. The two have a mutual respect and tacit friendship. When Bruce was thought to be dead in the New 52, Gordon took up the mantle of the Batman. What if Quentin decided to take the mantle of the Green Arrow due to not agreeing with Oliver's decision to turn himself over to the FBI and confess his secret. There are several videos on youtube that speculate Quentin may still be alive. If you don't believe, check them yourself. It could be Captain Pike. I know I thought he was Vigilante a while ago, but I think him becoming Green Arrow could work because he has a lot of potential. I mean, as seen in season 5, Pike was willing to bend the rules to keep Star City safe. What if Pike became upset at Oliver for what he did and decided to take up the mantle on his own. If Pike is dead, then that's one big mistake.

The Real Adrian Chase-Perhaps Simon Morrison's identical twin brother who was given away to the Chase family and became a lawyer to end Claybourne's corruption like Eobard95's theory and Adrian allowed Simon to take his place when Simon had Dorian hostage? I dunno, it might be possible it might not.

Roy Harper-What if Thea and him died during their quest to destroy the Lazarus Pits and Nyssa was able to use one of them to revive Roy. Having the blood lust like Thea, Roy decides to become like Dexter Morgan by killing criminals and with a plan to make it look like Agent Watson got the wrong guy? As for why Roy didn't tell anyone, he saw they were moving on with their lives and felt that they abandoned the mission which is why he decided to be a lone-wolf. This would be like Jason Todd becoming the Red Hood and be an interesting storyline. But it would also be kind of obvious.

The Main Villain-I don't think Ricardo Diaz will be the main villain this year. Perhaps it could be something like Daredevil V.S Punisher or the main villain is doing this to destroy everything Oliver stands for?

What do you guys think?
