Arrow Season 4: 12 Questions We're Asking After The Mid-Season Finale

4. What Is Genesis?

Aside from the reveal of his family, there was a whole lot more going on with the sides of Damien Darhk we're more accustomed to seeing. Once again there's a mention of a project called Genesis, and now it appears we have moved on to Phase 4, which means Darhk is moving at a faster pace than even Marvel and Kevin Feige can manage and thus is definitely an evil genius. Exactly what these plans are is unclear, but it involves getting rid of parts of the population, gas chambers, algae, and corn. The first two you can understand, the third is kind of explained, and the corn, well, everyone needs a hobby. It also seems that he has a lot of investors with stakes in this, ones who even he doesn't threaten, which only adds more mystery to it all. Finally, since it's the last episode of 2015, it's worth pointing out once more just how delightfully insane Neal McDonough makes Damien Darhk. It is absolutely perfect.
