I was prepared for you bringing up Darhk.

That's because they were introducing mystics into the Arrowverse, following up from the Lazarus Pit, as well as introducing John Constantine and Vixen. Plus Darhk was introduced as a sorcerer, not an established powerless character given the comicbook treatment.

Comic book accuracy doesn't really hold a candle anymore after the amount of things they've changed.
