16. Training Oliver on Lian Yu

Slade Wilson pushes Oliver past his breaking point when he trains him on Lian Yu in Arrow (S1E14). By teaching him self-control, fighting techniques, and survival skills, he turns Oliver from a wealthy castaway into a fighter. However, later on, this mentoring heightens the tragedy and effect of Slade's treachery. "You're not a hero yet, kid," he says, hinting at his potential to become Oliver's most formidable foe. Slade establishes their unavoidable conflict by molding Oliver's skills, establishing himself as the most ruthless and intimate antagonist in the series.
