Top 10 Characters in the Arrowverse

Best characters from the shared universe of the TV shows Arrow, The Flash, Constantine, DC's Legends of Tomorrow and Vixen (web series).
The Top Ten
Barry Allen/The Flash

The greatest and most powerful hero. Way faster than Kryptonians. He can phase through one if he had to fight one. Lightning attacks, intelligence, a good team, and a solid moral code. He is very fast. In Season 3, he ran from Kansas to China and back with a large man in his arms in about three seconds. The best.

I'm more of a Marvel fan, but The Flash and Batman are DC heroes that I like. Barry is so inspiring and awesome. He's number one in DC.

He can kill anyone in the Arrowverse due to the extreme number of abilities the Speedforce gives him.

Oliver Queen/Green Arrow

He is a more mature and well-rounded character (in my opinion) than Barry Allen. I find it amusing when Barry tries to be serious, but it is the complete opposite with Oliver. His personality reflects his seriousness. My only issue is his relationship with Felicity. Her character became terrible in Season 3 when she got more comfortable with Oliver. She felt her opinion was more valid than his and didn't respect him. Other than that, he is by far the best.

I feel like he is the most clever superhero in the Arrowverse. He doesn't need superpowers like The Flash and definitely not like Supergirl.

Cisco Ramon/The Vibe Cisco Ramon, also known as Vibe, is a character in the TV show "The Flash." He is a tech genius with the ability to perceive vibrations across the multiverse. Cisco's humorous personality, pop culture references, and superhero alter ego add levity and excitement to the show's dynamic cast of characters... read more

The smartest character in the Arrowverse so far. His IQ is definitely higher than Felicity's (not by a lot, but definitely). Amazing sense of humor, greatest character development, and powers that are unquestionably powerful. 10/10.

Comedian of The Flash. One of the best for sure!

Cisco is in his rightful spot in the top 5. Good.

Harrison Wells Harrison Wells is a character in the TV show "The Flash." He is a brilliant scientist and founder of S.T.A.R. Labs. Throughout the series, various versions of Wells appear, each with their own motivations and secrets. Wells' character adds complexity and mystery to the show's narrative, and his interactions... read more

Harrison Wells is the one who helped Cisco, Flash, and Caitlin. Without him, Flash wouldn't know all the cool tricks and gimmicks. He is the backbone of the team, the brain, the power.

Harrison Wells is the best. We like every Wells. But we don't have any more, so I hope we can get one in Episode 5, Season 7 of The Flash.

Every single Harrison Wells was unique and holds a special place in my heart! Even Thawne. He was the start of The Flash!

Sara Lance/White Canary

She's talented and inspiring but also has her flaws. The perfect character.

Sara Lance is a great combat fighter, and her moves are fast.

Best character! Best Black and White Canary! I love her!

Kara Danvers/Supergirl

I'm sorry, I prefer Barry and Oliver, but Kara is FAR better than Sara in my opinion and is definitely the third-best character.

Supergirl gives hope. She lifts spirits in such a way that I don't find anyone else could.

She is awesome, yes, damn awesome!

Eobard Thawne

Are there any other characters in any shows or movies that manipulate the main character's emotions so intensely? First, he kills his mother, then frames his father. He inspires him, strikes him with lightning, gives him superpowers, becomes his friend, traumatizes him and his loved ones, and causes the deaths of his sister's fiancé and his friend's husband. Then he dies, only to return and murder his daughter five years later. Who else does that?

Hands down the most threatening villain we have seen so far. Played by the best actor on The Flash, the amazing Tom Cavanagh. Due to these two key points, he has become a character that fans adore.

Slade Wilson/Deathstroke Deathstroke is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by Marv Wolfman and George Perez. He is a mercenary and assassin who first appeared in The New Teen Titans #2.

Slade Wilson was very good to Oliver, helped him, and taught him everything. Without Slade, there would be no Green Arrow. Also, he was a good villain.

My second favorite villain in the Arrowverse.

Best Arrowverse villain for sure!

Felicity Smoak Felicity Smoak is a DC Comics character. Her first appearance was in The Fury of Firestorm #23, created by writer Gerry Conway and artist Rafael Kayanan.

Felicity was just a woman who was scared but then grew into no fear and now a badass.

She was hilarious and had a good character arc.

Caitlin Snow

The Newcomers

? Ryan Wilder
? Jennifer Pierce
The Contenders
Prometheus

Favorite villain in the Arrowverse. Maybe he was weak in terms of strength, but the psychological warfare between him and Oliver brought out the best in the two characters.

Prometheus is the best villain. Without him, I don't think Arrow would have gotten eight seasons.

John Diggle John Diggle, portrayed by David Ramsey, is a character in the TV show "Arrow." He is a former soldier and bodyguard turned vigilante ally to Oliver Queen, the Green Arrow. Diggle's unwavering loyalty, combat skills, and personal growth contribute to the show's exploration of friendship and heroism... read more

Oliver's best friend earned his status with Oliver, unlike Felicity, who never was taught manners. John set Oliver's mind straight when he was doing something stupid and fought alongside him. Loved his character.

John Diggle helps Arrow and all of his friends. He will do anything right. Do y'all remember he was just a bodyguard with a gun?

Malcolm Merlyn Malcolm Merlyn, portrayed by John Barrowman, is a character in the TV show "Arrow." He is a wealthy businessman and master archer with a complex web of motivations. Malcolm's role as the Dark Archer and his connection to various characters drive the show's conflicts and reveals. His morally ambiguous... read more

He is one hell of a villain. Amazing. He should be higher than 27. Love him!

Awesome villain in both Arrow and DC.

Leonard Snart/Captain Cold Leonard Snart, portrayed by Wentworth Miller, is a character in the TV show "The Flash" and its spin-off "Legends of Tomorrow." He is a skilled thief and master of cold-based weaponry. Snart's calculated and strategic approach, along with his complex moral code, make him an intriguing antihero and a... read more

Easily one of the best personalities CW has birthed. Leonard's composed, meticulous planning makes him a dangerous foe and one of the Flash's biggest rivals. What I love about him is his reserved patience. While it can be cold and unassuming, his nobility and tactical genius make him a great leader.

This character made me watch Legends!

Thea Queen

Love watching her kick ass. Willa Holland is my celebrity crush. She's fit and has the perfect body. Pretty face too. Everybody goes on about Sara, Laurel, and Kara, but Willa as Thea is the best. She's so gosh darn hot.

Thea was also like her brother's wife. But she grew into fighting people and kicking ass.

She is my favorite character in Arrow. I wish she'd stayed on Team Arrow.

Julian Albert
John Constantine
Firestorm
Iris West

Pretty good love interest, all things considered.

Laurel Lance/Black Canary
Roy Harper/Arsenal

I'm going to say he should be higher because he said he was Arrow so Oliver could be safe.

Ralph Dibny

He's my favorite Arrowverse character and should be #1.

Stretchy man. Goes from zero to hero.

Killer Frost Killer Frost is a name used by several fictional supervillainesses appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics.

How on earth is she #29? Her backstory is the most interesting and intense in the whole Arrowverse.

She is an interesting character, and I love her and Caitlin equally!

Nyssa al Ghul

Nyssa is an amazing character! Love her so much!

She is one of the best characters on Arrow!
