The Flash Season 2: 20 Most Shocking Moments (So Far)

18. Robert Queen, Green Arrow

From what we€™ve seen so far, Earth-2 is a very different place. Where this alternative world is concerned, all bets are off. Heroes are villains, villains are heroes, and heroes are sometimes simply different. During Enter Zoom, we see a TV report from Earth-2 announcing the death of that world€™s Green Arrow, or The Hood as he€™s known over there. The shocker here is that the man underneath the famed greed hood isn€™t actually Oliver Queen: it€™s Robert Queen. We€™d learn that Earth-2€™s Ollie actually died when the Queen€™s Gambit got lost at sea. Surviving the wreckage this time out was Oliver€™s father, Robert, who would go on to become the vigilante the prowls the rooftops of Earth-2€™s Starling City. Well, until his untimely passing, that is.
