It's weird when you hear that opening monologue of Arrow, because it sounds like Oliver Queen genuinely means what he says. Yes, he only wants to do what's best for his city, friends, and family, but he's also a total hypocrite at the same time – perhaps one of the biggest on superhero TV. Make no mistake: he's helped thousands of people and continues to do so, but he's not exactly a guy whom you can trust for being the beacon of moral values and virtues.

It's gotten to a point where Ollie will promise to do something and we'll all take a shot every time he breaks his oath in one episode. He's worse at keeping a promise than a politician taking office – and funny enough, he's embarked in a career in politics, too. It's rather apt, isn't it? So, kick back and embark on a journey with us as we relook some of the most messed up things that we've forgotten about the Green Arrow. From his friends to his family, no one has been safe from Ollie's questionable ways. And remember, the moral of the story here is, never trust a guy using the moniker of Green Arrow who doesn't have a cool goatee.

15 HE LIES TO HIS TEAM ALL THE TIME

Let's be honest: we've all fibbed to our colleagues. Like those times when they ask if there are any donuts left for them and you shake your head so you can have the last one. It's a natural and perfectly acceptable thing to do – especially if food is involved, because survival of the fittest and all that jazz.

Oliver has a problem, though.

He's already gone through two versions of Team Arrow and he shows no sign that he's learnt to respect those around him with important details. If you can't trust your teammates with critical information, why have a team in the first place? No, Ollie is like that jerk quarterback who wants to be a glory boy and save the day himself. He doesn't want to share information, since knowledge is power, so he lies like a one-legged dog.

14 HE'S A SERIAL KILLER IN THE FIRST SEASON

Stephen Amell as Green Arrow in Arrow

Imagine this: A man returns to his city after being gone for years. He brings back a book, filled with a list of names, and resolves to kill every single one of the people mentioned in it. He hunts them down, one by one, and puts arrows in them. Honestly, this sounds like it could be the plot to an episode of Mindhunter, where Holden and Tench search for a serial killer.

In the first season of Arrow, Ollie was basically a serial killer. He racked up more kills in those 23 episodes than a child prodigy playing Call of Duty. At times, he was downright brutal and showed no remorse for creating a host of orphans in Starling City. That doesn't sound very heroic, does it?

13 HE CHEATED ON LAUREL WITH HER SISTER

Sara Lance and Oliver Queen in Arrow

Look, things happen in relationships. Not every person clicks with another for a lifetime and humans tend do bad things to each other. Nonetheless, cheating shouldn't be condoned. If things aren't working out, or you have your doubts, rather say goodbye and head off down separate paths. Sure, it's a difficult thing to do, but it's much better than catching your partner with someone else – especially your sister.

Ollie went full-on Jerry Springer Show with Laurel Lance when he began to see her sister, Sara, as well. What's worse is that things seemed okay between Ollie and Laurel, and they even planned on starting a life together, yet he had other ideas in mind. Cheating on someone is bad, but doing it with their sibling? What sort of a man is Oliver Queen?!

12 HE WAS AN ABSENT FATHER

Arrow Oliver William

In all fairness, between Moira Queen and Samantha Clayton, they hid the fact that Ollie was a father – and that's not right. He should've been part of William's life and allowed to provide for the boy. That said, are you telling us that when he arrived back from the island he didn't Facebook stalk his exes?

C'mon! If he had scrolled through Samantha's page, he would've seen countless photos of William and even think, "Hmm… That boy looks a lot like me and his age matches up with when I was with his mom. Oh, and he only has that one facial expression, too." Surely if Ollie didn't believe in the "no glove, no love" policy, it must've been in the back of his mind that he could possibly be a dad?

11 IS HE QUALIFIED TO BE A MAYOR?

There's that saying, "Be the change you want to see in the world." What it truly means is that the future is in your hands and it's up to you to inspire change. That's pretty much what Oliver Queen did when he ran for mayor of Star City. Instead of only fighting at night as the Green Arrow, he decided to inspire as Oliver Queen during the day, too.

But what qualifications does Ollie have to be a mayor? Did he study politics? Did he even finish high school or college? Because according to what we know about him, he wasn't exactly the most diligent of students and he can't even help William with his math homework. Sorry, Ollie being mayor is the equivalent of a megalomaniac, reality TV star running for president. D'oh!

10 THE CURIOUS CASE OF THE NO-KILL VOW

After imitating Batman for so long, Ollie decided it was time to mimic his moral code, too, and instill a no-kill policy. Naturally, this code flip-flopped quicker than a no-carb diet as he selectively breaks it when it suits him. It's actually quite laughable to see him try to take the moral high ground and tell his teammates not to kill, when he's the supreme leader of the Murderverse.

Also, it makes no sense. He's shooting damn arrows at people – that stuff normally kills or ruptures organs, which will end you in the long run anyway. Then, when he isn't pumping arrows into his opponents, he's bashing their skulls in with his metal bow. Has he even considered if his adversaries suffer from previous brain injuries or epilepsy?

9 HE'S RESPONSIBLE FOR SARA DISAPPEARING IN THE FIRST PLACE

While this was a point of contention between Oliver and Quentin Lance in the first season, it's largely forgotten now. If Ollie hadn't been doing the hokey-pokey with Sara, she wouldn't have gotten on that boat with him and embarked down the longwinded path that she did. All he had to do was just keep it in his pants and everything would've been fine in the Lance home.

Instead, he messed up her life, and her entire family's sanity as they all suffered in the aftermath of her presumed death. Quentin took up drinking as a hobby, while Laurel pouted for a few seasons before becoming the Black Canary and eventually dying. Heck, by now, we wonder if Quentin secretly rues the day when his daughters met the dreaded Queen family.

8 HE WITNESSED HIS DAD'S DEATH

Robert Queen in Arrow

Ask any parent and they'll tell you the natural progression of life is for children to bury their parents. However, it isn't for children to see parents end their own lives. It's a tragic ordeal for any human being to witness this act or go through with it. Quite often, we forget that Oliver witnessed his father, Robert, use a gun on himself and end it all.

There's certainly psychological damage left behind from seeing something so traumatic. Ollie never got a chance to grieve or speak to someone about what he saw, as he was forced into immediate survival mode. Any psychologist will tell you that such an event will still linger inside of him and he needs to get it off his chest.

7 HE REVEALS HIS TRUE IDENTITY TO EVERYONE

When Tony Stark revealed his identity on national TV in Iron Man 3, he did it because it was his "come at me, bro" moment. Oliver Queen, though, pretends like he's got something to protect and doesn't want Star City to know his Green Arrow secret. The problem is, everyone already knows. Ollie is protecting something that's inconsequential right now.

Seriously, how many people know he's the Green Arrow? The numbers are certainly higher than 20 at this point and constantly rising. This means there's a strong likelihood that someone has blabbed to one of their friends about who he really is by mistake. If your friends can't even keep a surprise birthday party a secret, how do you think they'd do with the true identity of a vigilante?

6 HIS POLICE FRIENDS WILLINGLY AID A CRIMINAL

Arrow Dinah Drake

Let's get one thing straight here: vigilantism is illegal. It's frowned upon by the law. Indeed, we might get a little huffy when we're looking for police assistance and they're busy gobbling up donuts, but we can't go out and kill criminals ourselves. So, face it: Ollie's crusade for justice remains against the law.

What's even worse is he's forcing his police friends, such as Dinah Drake and formerly Quentin Lance, to go against their oaths and not bring him in when they've had their chance. While these cops are all about truth and justice and nabbing everyone who forgets a parking ticket or two, they're willingly aiding a wanted criminal. Would you trust a cop who's selective about whom they bring to the book?

5 HE WAS A FUN GUY BEFORE THE ISLAND

Oliver Queen in Arrow

Life-changing experiences are just that: life-changing. More often than not, they can change a person's entire personality and force them to come to terms with their mortality. They rattle the soul and causes one to look at life through a new set of eyes. The same can be said about Oliver Queen and what happened to him on the island.

Coming back to his city, he was changed. Gone was the party-loving playboy of before and in his place was a scowling, hardened man who only learnt how to smile after a few seasons. In fact, Ollie is pretty boring now. In the past, he was the kind of guy who'd buy shots for everyone at the club and throw the most rocking parties. Now, he's a fuddy-duddy who eats toasted pizzas and sips herbal tea.

4 HE WAS RA'S AL GHUL

Ra's al Ghul and Oliver Queen in Arrow

In another attempt to turn Oliver Queen into Batman, there was a storyline involving Ra's al Ghul, Green Arrow, and the League of Assassins. As expected, the main plot point was Ra's wanting Oliver Queen to be his heir because the Dark Knight must've been shopping or something. Surprisingly, Ollie hasn't fathered a child named Damian with Talia, but give it time…

What most of us tend to forget, though, is that Ollie killed Ra's and therefore became the next Ra's al Ghul. While Malcolm Merlyn took up the mantle, it was Ollie's if he wanted it. So, not only is he a vigilante of Star City, but he's also the leader of an international terrorist organization. Does this mean he's better than Batman now?

3 HE LITERALLY HAS THE WORST DISGUISE

Stephen Amell in Arrow

Some superheroes choose masks or intricate suits to fool people into not knowing who they really are. Heck, look at Curtis Holt who even changes his hairstyle when he assumes the Mr. Terrific role. Oliver Queen shows he's possibly as lazy as Superman with his disguise.

In the first season, he literally painted a domino mask on his face and wore a hood – he didn't even bother to shave before his crime-fighting escapades, either. Additionally, how does the hood actually keep his identity a secret? If there's a bit of wind in the air, it'll fly off and everyone will see his mom haircut. Are you honestly telling us that you wouldn't be able to identify Oliver Queen from that? At this point, we think everyone is winking at him when he denies that he's the Green Arrow.

2 HE LIED TO WILLIAM

Oliver-Queen-and-William-on-Arrow

You have to feel sorry for William. Not only did he get a shock to his system by finding out his dad was Oliver Queen, but he also lost his mother, Samantha, in the big explosion at the end of season five. The kid has been through a lot and only wants any semblance of a normal life now. It's not too much to ask for, is it?

With one parent gone, he was naturally afraid that he'd lose another and asked his dad to give up his Green Arrow adventures. Utilizing his best lying face, Ollie promised his son he wouldn't do it anymore. Then, he broke it in a heartbeat. Yeah, circumstances, yada, yada… But this guy is a pathological liar and couldn't keep a promise if it had a leash on it.

1 HOW DID HE GET ALL THE EQUIPMENT INTO THE ARROWCAVE?

Arrowcave in Arrow

For someone who's intent on keeping his identity secret, Oliver made sure to build himself a nifty Arrowcave – obviously it's a cave because at this point Batman is already filing his plagiarism lawsuit– to keep all his toys safe. The question is, how did he get all this stuff in there unnoticed?

Unlike the Dark Knight who had the luxury of the Wayne Tech division as a cover to get all his major equipment, how the heck does Oliver move and fund all his latest stuff with Queen Consolidated being no more? We're certain that Felicity can't be funding the whole thing by herself. Also, surely as the mayor, he has the paparazzi following his every step, so wouldn't someone notice a giant supercomputer being delivered to a dodgy area with Ollie having to sign the C.O.D. for it?
