8 Heroes Most Likely To Die During Crisis On Infinite Earths

1. Green Arrow

For all accounts and purposes, the most logical, obvious hero who will end up being offed during Crisis on Infinite Earths is none other than the person who started this shared Arrowverse of shows - Stephen Amell’s Oliver Queen.

This isn’t a major surprise, of course, for the past year of television has seen the future fate of the Green Arrow up in the air, before it was eventually revealed that Ollie had indeed made a deal with The Monitor that he would offer up his own life to save the very existence of the multiverse.

It may well be that the minds behind the Arrowverse swerve fans by having the Emerald Archer somehow survive Crisis, yet all signs point to Oliver not making it out of this crossover event alive.

Not only has Ollie embraced his tragic fate, audiences have also seen a future in which Oliver Queen died in 2019. For Crisis on Infinite Earths to hold any significant weight once all is said and done, at least one major Arrowverse hero has to perish. And with Arrow already confirmed to end after the show’s current eighth season, the prime candidate to have a target on their back is Amell’s Green Arrow.
