Arrow Season 5: 10 Big Questions That Need Answering

5. Will Oliver Succeed As Mayor?

Arrow Questions
The CW

After a lengthy battle with Ruve Adams, that saw him going in and out of the race, Oliver was eventually named as Mayor of Star City at the end of Season 4.

It's an interesting development, and just because being Mayor has always ended in death for the occupant of the position on Arrow. Oliver will break that run, but at what cost? He may have some big ideas about cleaning up Star City - though the show would do well to explore his politics a bit further to help make this story work - but he's completely unqualified, and, y'know, runs around as a vigilante at night.

Can he really balance being Mayor Queen with being Green Arrow? Will he be able to keep the latter a secret? And what, exactly, can he do for Star City?
