When Slade unleashes his Mirakuru-enhanced army on Starling City in Arrow (S2E22), the streets become a battlefield. He rises above all existing villains because instead of merely endangering the city, he establishes total control over it. At the end of his scheme, Slade reveals his superhuman army that wreaks destruction across the city to establish his command of military tactics. Slade fights his rival to break him down instead of relying on brute strength. Through this extensive mayhem, Slade has proven himself as Arrow's most dangerous rival in planning and deception.
