With Diggle and Thea on the outs from vigilante life, Oliver is in need of some new recruits. Sure, he'll try to go it alone at first, but quickly realise he needs a team around him to truly combat the sheer amount of bad guys populating the streets of Star City.

Enter Wild Dog, Artemis, Ragman, and Curtis (who'll be becoming Mister Terrific at some point this year). It's not exactly the heady days of Diggle, Arsenal, and Black Canary (Sara Lance version), but beggars can't be choosers.

So how will the new vigilantes fit in? Presumably they aren't going to be as good as the likes of Dig or Thea, so how strong will they be? And what about their relationships with each other and the other characters? Are they going to get their own storylines and arcs, or simply exist to help serve Team Arrow on the crimefighting front?
