Screen Crush have revealed that the latest DC comic book character to be brought to life on the small screen in Arrow will be 'Dr. Anthony Ivo'. Dylan Neal (whose credits include Cedar Cove, Human Target and Smallville) has been chosen to play him. However, in his first appearance - the fifth episode which is entitled "League of Assassins" - he will appear in Oliver's island flashbacks rather than Starling City. As this is set to be a four episode arc though, it's certainly likely that we'll see him return to make Ollie's life difficult further down the line as the site mentions that the door is open for recurring appearances. They describe Arrow's take on the villain as, " a brutal but ruthless scientist who will stop at nothing to unearth a breakthrough that dates back to the latter days of World War II." Ivo is also the creator of the android 'Amazo'.

This show has really many comic book characters!
Will be nice to see Amazo too
"Arrow" is really awesome, and empty-boring "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." totaly sucks!

@ManOfReal J. August's character isn't dead. He was shot by the "Night-night gun", which fires incapacitating non-lethal bullets. He must have been put in custody by SHIELD, as was Samuel Sterns or the Destroyer.

See more about the Night-night gun here:

manofreal-what do you mean stupid twist will be marvels downfall?,ummm j august richards character wasnt a twist, they just never told us who he was before the show started,and marvel has had one twist in their films so far, in that thinking,nolans films have more twists and one imo stupid twist in tdkr so does it signal dcs downfall?

Hmmm... seems like the Flash isn't going to be Arrow's only foray into the world of sci-fi/fantasy this season.

I don't know if this is a bad sign of creative compromise, or an amazing escalation onto a new level of superhero drama. Either way, I'm gonna watch it all go down!

(It's just a damn shame I don't care much about Professor Ivo... if this were a villain I'd actually read about, I'd be all over this.)

Manofreal-really,even though in the past i have said i like the nolan films and man of steel,that makes me a marvelite, no, DOUCHEBAG,you are a DC-TARD who keeps constantly bashing marvel for no reason,i did see the previews and the episode two times,there was no twist or anything,it wasnt like they had scenes in the show then they werent in the pilot and butchering of material, really,well dc and marvel butcher their own characters everytime in the comics with spiderman to superman and i dont accept that,yeah i liked iron man 3 and the twist not because it was funny, it had an idea behind that i found interesting within the film and i wasnt alone ,alotof people like the film and the twist and plus if you were so outraged by the twist, i suggest you do some research on the mandarin and realize why killian can be counted as the mandarin.

Also, to anyone bitching about all this, Have some faith will ya???? Marvel is successful all over the place with the movies and TV (Well not all the animated series lately) but with Agents of Shield, that is gonna do amazing this season and who cares if its a little cheesy and what not, Its Joss!!!!! He loves making things funny and action packed for the fans and such! So quit ur bitching and let good things be!

Also, for people who complain about Arrow and Flash and what they want or dont want. CW knows what they are doing and the people behind the show do too! DC rocks on TV and heres a fact for ya, Even though there were a lot of ups and downs, Smallville went 10 seasons, Arrow is prob gonna do the same and maybe Flash too!

Give these shows a chance guys! I dont want to see a damm Marvel/DC flame war happen cause those are just pointless anyways....

So shut ya traps, have faith and let the shows do their thing!!!!
