Did you ever think about why I chose the name Prometheus? He challenged the omnipotence of the gods. You see, because, like you, they play judge, jury, and executioner. But Prometheus took away their power.

Prometheus was a villain seeking revenge against Green Arrow. He posed as Adrian Chase, the benevolent district attorney of Star City.
History
Adrian Chase (born Simon Morrison) was Star City's district attorney who worked closely with the mayor, Oliver Queen. Adrian secretly operated as "Prometheus", a mysterious archer, who leads a campaign of revenge against the Green Arrow, enacting pain and penance on Oliver Queen for all the lives he unknowingly ruined while hunting down people from the List in his guise as the Hood. His main motivation is suspected to be related to the death of Justin Claybourne, with Prometheus possibly being his illegitimate child, although the villainous vigilante refused to confirm this suspicion. Targeting civilians and police officers, Prometheus recreated anagrams of people from the List that the Hood targeted, and also recreated a crime scene of Claybourne's bodyguards killed by Hood with the corpses of murdered SCPD officers.
