Slade had Oliver trapped for months, before the finale all Oliver could do is out Slade as a criminal, up until the finale Slade was always one step ahead and only a stroke of genius is what saved the day. With Prometheus it's like a game of Chess, Oliver has a win, Chase has a win and the winning side changes. I feel like Chase is much more of a psychological villain despite his advanced combat skills

The huge contrast with Prometheus to all of the other villains is he's more or less on equal footing with Oliver in terms of combat skills. Malcolm's League training overwhelmed Oliver, Slade has the Mirakuru in his system, Ra's was the most legendary warrior on the planet, and Darhk was extremely OP with his magic. Prometheus is the one villain who terrorizes Oliver simply by using his brain.
