Has Jericho Been In Arrow All Along?

Has the sparingly mentioned Joe Wilson been cast in Arrow and been kept in secret? Click to see my evidence for who he is and why.

Joseph Wilson, Son of Season 2 Main Antagonist Slade Wilson, Godson of Season 1 Minor Antagonist Billy Wintergreen.  To my memory, he's been mentioned maybe twice in the show.  Once even used to calm down Slade on the island, so where has he been all this time?  After Slade got off the island in Season 2, it's been mentioned he was never tied down for too long to one place before arival.  But what if Slade didn't completely forget about his son, and had a contingency plan for if Oliver beat him!

Chase.  DJ at Verdant Nightclub, love interest to Thea.  That's all we know about him. He's charasmatic, and quite the charmer.  What many don't know is that Joe Wilson in the comics is the metahuman Jericho, who could control people by looking in their eyes.  Could his charm be a way of translating his powers to screen?  And, Joe Wilson in the comics was considered a musical prodogy.  A DJ could be another way of making it translate to the CW network.  What if Chase is actually Joe Wilson?  Slade is set to return, and we don't know how.  With Thea being prone to falling for guys, what if Slade plans to use his son's charm as an advantage to hurt the already dead Oliver?

Maybe I'm wong.  But the characters do somewhat look alike, and they have translated Ravanger to screen, so why not Joe Wilson?  Comment below with thoughts!

Interesting theory. I do in fact believe chase is more than they are letting him off to be right now, but not so sure if he's Jericho. I would love it if he was though.

I pegged chase as grant wilson...jericho might yet be a little out of depth in arrow with his powers. it will be a total dive into power section while arrow is doing it slowly.

I've pretty much believed Chase as Jericho from his introduction on. I don't think the CW would be forcing the same relationship stuff into Arrow that they used to and there has got to be more to him than they are showing even if he is just maybe a member of the League of Assassins. I can't believe they would create such a horrible character that isn't needed just to give Thea a love interest when everything else they have done lately has been spot on.

I also think Manu Bennett was probably cast as Austin Butler's mentor in Shannara based on their chemistry in behind the scenes tests for this role.

The actor who plays Chase used to be my friend's boyfriend. I hung out with him one time, he's a pretty cool guy.

I thought.Chase was his surname so he'd be Daniel Chase as a Teen Titans allusion.

Arrow is great at dropping little hints at stuff and then coming back to it a year or two later. That's one reason I love this show.
