2. Bros doomed to become foes

Oliver's buddy Tommy Merlyn (Colin Donnell) seems relatively innocuous now -- sure, he's a bit entitled, but he's got good intentions and he trusts Oliver. Still, it's no secret that in the DC comics lore, Merlyn is the name of Oliver's greatest nemesis. There are few things we love more than an angsty bromance spiraling into violent hatred and certain tragedy.


Note: This is a photo of Donnell and Amell, not Tommy and Oliver. No evidence suggests that Oliver Queen is a Kings fan. You know, just in case that'd be an issue for you.
