The first images from "Arrow" season 5 offer a glimpse at the main baddie, Prometheus. Rocking black from head to toe with his face concealed, the character is apparently an expert of archery just like Stephen Amell's Oliver Queen. The villain is armed with a bow and arrows.

"The villain that we are introducing is a direct result of things that Oliver has done in Star City [and] calls back to a lot of things that happened in the first season of the show," Amell explained. "It really grounds the show and really focuses on its core value, which is the battle to save Star City."

The new season is scheduled to kick off October 5 on The CW. It will see the DC hero building a new band of vigilantes after his team disbanded.
