If you can't tell from the picture, the actress in that Ravager-esque costume is Summer Glau. Fans of the show will know she currently plays Isabel Rochev on Arrow, new C.E.O. of Queen Consolidated thanks to Oliver foolishly signing over control to her. Apparently, she too hides a dual identity and has a flair for the theatrical.
In the latest episode, Isabel revealed that she has been working with Slade all along to take control of the company and has a personal vendetta against Oliver's father. She also made it pretty clear that she's a skilled fighter in her own right when she and Oliver momentarily sparred in the boardroom.
The twist of Isabel Rochev being Ravager is another in a long line of Arrow's clever spins on already established DC Comics canon. Is she actually Slade Wilson's daughter or isn't she? Remember while in Russia during an earlier episode, she did reveal to Oliver she's adopted, so who knows? The chances of her being related to Slade, whether as his daughter or not, can't be entirely ruled out.
In the comics, Isabel Rochev was a former flame of Oliver's father, Robert Queen. She's quite eccentric, believing herself to have been Robert's "one true love" and therefore the rightful heir to his company. Taking into account that the Isabel of Arrow has some connection to Oliver's father, is it possible she had an affair with Robert in the past?
Whether she's Slade's or Robert's lover, Glau's Ravager makes for another intriguing addition to the Arrow's rogue's gallery (and Ollie's list of former lovers turned enemies). Are you excited to see Glau step into another action-heavy role? Sound off in the comments below!
