Finally all has been revealed and we know that the man under the Prometheus mask is none other than Adrian Chase. The “Arrow” writers swerved us all because when Josh Segarra joined the show it was announced that he would be playing Vigilante, so naturally most of us ruled him out as Prometheus.
Following the big reveal, Josh Segarra spoke to Variety and he told them that when he joined the show even he didn’t know he was going to wind up being revealed as Prometheus.
“I got to Vancouver thinking I was playing Vigilante,” he said with a laugh. “I was reading Vigilante comics and reading about Chase, and I got to work and I was talking to Marc [Guggenheim] like, ‘I’m really doing my research, I’m really being studious about this Vigilante guy,’ and he was like ‘What do you mean? That’s not who you’re playing.’”
As Prometheus stated earlier in the season, he doesn’t want to kill the Green Arrow, he wants to make him suffer by attacking the people he cares about. In the latest episode we were led to believe that he had kidnapped Susan Williams and producer Wendy Mericle says Prometheus will be coming after Oliver’s loved ones.
“He’s going after people Oliver cares about,” she said. “We’ve seen villains do that in the past, but this year Adrian does it in a way that’s a little more specific. He has no drive to kill Oliver, it’s purely based on torture. It’s all part-and-parcel to break Oliver down psychologically.”
“Arrow” will return with “Checkmate” on March 15th.
