Slade Wilson / Deathstroke, by a landslide.

A longtime fan of the show, but with some of the most unpopular opinions. I would say that Darhk and Merlin never got a great chance to shine in their own seasons, but are fantastic otherwise, especially on "Legends". As for Deathstroke, I like him as well, but Season 2 had a few problems with pacing and that affected my opinion on him as a main antagonist a bit. 

I really liked both Diaz and Chase/Prometheus but my vote would probably go to the latter. Not only original Adrian Chase/Vigilante who was partially adapted as him (he is actually an amalgamation of at least three different characters from the comics) is one of my all-time favorite comic book characters (I actually have an issue of "Vigilante" lying next to me as I type, a fresh pick-up from Kyiv Comic Con), Josh Segarra is a terrific character actor, who really impressed me in the role.

Absolutely Slade Wilson. He's a great character. He can even make his own tv or movie!

I hate how this show got boring after season 2. So stupid dialogues in last seasons.

Slade was the best, Damien Darhk looked soo unbeatable.

My opinion on that is, perhaps, the most unpopular one. I don't like Season 2 that much and for me it never quite hold up compared to Season 1. While I really love many elements about it, especially some of the villains (The Major, The Count, Brother Blood, Anthony Ivo, Cyrus Gold...) and Mirakuru introduction that had a nice "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio" feeling about it, making Deathstroke main antagonist, if cool at the moment, had lasting negative consequences which impacted Seasons 3 and 4 harshly and derailed the show a bit. And I'm saying that as a loyal fan of the show, who can watch most of it with practically no negative feelings towards many things that irritate people about it. 

For me Season 5 and 6 were a pleasant surprise and return to form. Surely, Ricardo Diaz would have been a one-off villain in Season 1, but that's what makes him interesting and what makes Oliver's moral compass, much evolvled from Season 1,  something very interesting to look at. 

Oh, and Damien Darhk is AMAZING on "Legends of Tomorrow", Neal McDonough is a very talented actor and it really shines in that series, while he never had that much coolness during his initial run on "Arrow". It seems they're thinking about introducing Earth-2 Damien into the mix and I would love to see that.

For me. Season 2 was by far the best Season of Arrow, and Slade Wilson / Manu Bennett and Sara Lance / Caity Lotz the best supporting characters.

I think it's telling that they resurrected Lotz' character from the dead and pretty much gave her her own show ;)

'Good poll! May I suggest a small edit for the intro? (a comma after 2012)

Who would've thought that when Arrow launched back in 2012, it 2would serve as the launch pad for a massive franchise that has come to include shows like The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, and Vixen.
