He hasn't been seen since season 2 or had a significant role in the series unless you count his kidnapping allowing Oliver to discover the truth about Moira's involvement in The Undertaking significant. It's perfect! Plus, their physique is similar. Besides, why the need to retreat if his goggles were destroyed unless Oliver's friends knew him on a personal level? It could also be Curtis' husband. He clearly had a hate for Oliver. So that takes out Walter from the list. Also don't think Vigilante is Curtis's husband. After all, he doesn't know Curtis is Mr. Terrific. You're thinking in-universe rather than out-universe. The writers are good with putting the last character we'd expect behind these situations and coming up with a good explanation afterward. No one expected Savitar to be a time remnant, but they patched the how and why pretty well. Don't underestimate the writers of Arrowverse.

As for Paul, he's the only one who hasn't been on the screen the same time as Vigilante. No one expected Savitar to be a time remnant? That was the dominating theory after 2024 Barry mentioned how not all time remnants were killed by Savitar. The how and the why don't really make sense even with the explanation they gave since the loop wouldn't logically allow for Savitar to have a starting point. The writers of the Arrowverse can be rather inconsistent and illogical at times so I wouldn't put it past them. As for Paul, why would he break off his entire relationship with Curtis over vigilantism if he was Vigilante?
