Reading your post gave me an epiphany about how Arrow Season 5 fell short. The big bad was the son of one of the corrupt businessmen Ollie took out in season one. Oliver gave him one chance to turn himself in, he refused. His son becomes Prometheus, an evil (and apparently nigh-omnipotent) foil that nearly destroyed Oliver utterly.
But unless I missed something big...we never see this guy BEFORE he becomes Prometheus. WAS he an innocent man driven mad from grief, or did he already have some of his fathers cold ruthlessness inside? If they were trying to sell the idea that Oliver did the wrong thing killing the father (who would likely have bought his way out of legal trouble), they didn't do a great job IMO.
