It all started on a fateful fall day back in 2012 when a new CW show aired its first episode. Now, seven years later, Arrow is more than just a comic book show. It was the beginning of an entire extended universe of superheroes on the same network -- before any other comic book company or network attempted to do the same. It was history. And it's still going strong!
With Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow and Supergirl, The CW's Arrow-verse has extended its reach across multiple networks (remember when Supergirl was a CBS show? Ha!) and alternate realities to serve up some of the fiercest and badass superheroes (and villains!) on TV. But only some can be TV Time users' favorites!
Scroll through to see which heroes and villains cracked the Top 20 of TV Time users' favorite Arrow-verse characters to see if yours made the list!
20. Candice Patton "Iris West-Allen" on The Flash
The true heart and soul of Team Flash, Iris is true #goals.
19. Manu Bennett "Slade Wilson/Deathstroke" on Arrow
From hero to villain to hero again, there's no telling where this antihero will fall in the future. But we love him anyway!
18. Calista Flockhart "Cat Grant" on Supergirl
This badass feminist icon can be our boss any day of the week!
17. Dominic Purcell "Mick Rory" on DC's Legends of Tomorrow
Another villain turned hero, we can't get enough of Mick's new literary talent.
16. Hartley Sawyer "Ralph Dibny/Elongated Man" on The Flash
It may have taken him a while to get the hang of the whole superhero thing, but now we can't imagine The Flash without Ralph.
15. Katie McGrath "Lena Luthor" on Supergirl
She may be a Luthor, but Lena doesn't let that define her. She's smart, she's strong and most importantly, she's good.
14. Willa Holland "Thea Queen" on Arrow
She's gone from the show but never from our hearts. We miss you, Speedy!
13. Colton Haynes "Roy Harper" on Arrow
That red hood looked pretty good on Roy too.
12. Tom Cavanagh "Harrison Wells" on The Flash
We never know if he's an ally or the ultimate villain of the story, and that's why we love watching him so much.
11. Katie Cassidy "Laurel Lance" on Arrow
Whether she kicked ass by day as a lawyer or by night as the Black Canary, we haven't stopped missing seeing Laurel on Arrow ever since her tragic death. Not even her doppelgänger from Earth-2 can make her loss any less heartbreaking.
10. Chyler Leigh "Alex Danvers" on Supergirl
She doesn't need powers to kick ass and that just makes her all the more awesome in our eyes.
9. Chris Wood "Mon-El" on Supergirl
We're still not over Kara and Mon-El's traumatic break-up (twice!).
8. Carlos Valdes "Cisco Ramon" on The Flash
We've seen him "die" multiple times on this show and each time is harder than the last. The Flash better not kill him off for real anytime soon, or else we riot!
7. Wentworth Miller "Leonard Snart/Captain Cold" on DC's Legends of Tomorrow/The Flash
No one makes villainy look this good!
6. Danielle Panabaker "Caitlin Snow" on The Flash
The more Caitlin bonds with her metahuman alter ego Killer Frost, the better!
5. Caity Lotz "Sara Lance/White Canary" on DC's Legends of Tomorrow/Arrow
The new captain of the Waverider is strong af, hilarious and a true bisexual icon.
4. Emily Bett Rickards "Felicity Smoak" on Arrow
Originally only meant as a one-episode appearance, this character has quickly become one of our all-time favorites. We are so here for one-third of Original Team Arrow!
3. Melissa Benoist "Kara Danvers/Supergirl" on Supergirl
Who needs Superman when we've got his stronger cousin?!
2. Stephen Amell "Oliver Queen/Green Arrow" on Arrow
He's the reason we even have an Arrow-verse to begin with, but this vigilante-turned-hero isn't our No. 1 favorite. That honor actually goes to ...
1. Grant Gustin "Barry Allen/The Flash" on The Flash
The Fastest Man Alive! Not only is Barry Allen incredibly powerful, he's also smart, hilarious and full of so much love. That's why he's been crowned the No. 1 Arrow-verse character in TV Time.
