"Arrow&amp;#039;s executive producer Andrew Kreisberg has described The Huntress as &amp;quot;the dark mirror version&amp;quot; of Oliver Queen. The DC Comics anti-heroine will be pitted against Stephen Amell&amp;#039;s vengeful archer in the CW drama&amp;#039;s eighth episode &amp;#039;Vendetta&amp;#039;.   &amp;quot;She is the dark mirror version of Oliver, and it was a nice contrast to him because he&amp;#039;s [already] pretty extreme,&amp;quot; Kreisberg told Entertainment Weekly. &amp;quot;He goes a lot further than not only his comic book version, but lots of [other] comic book characters - most have a code of draws the line against killing. Our [Oliver] is obviously past that. &amp;quot;[So we wondered] what could we do if we brought the Huntress? Since we already have a character who goes to extremes, how much more extreme can we make her?&amp;quot; Kreisberg suggested that both Oliver and his costumed nemesis are &amp;quot;damaged by their pasts&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Oliver has taken the darkness inside with him and is doing something positive with it,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s taken the darkness inside her and is seeking revenge and doesn&amp;#039;t care who gets hurt in the process. &amp;quot;[The episode raises] all of these interesting philosophical discussions: What is vengeance? What is justice? Where do you draw the line and how far is too far? And then the fact that she&amp;#039;s hot and Oliver is into her makes it all the more complicated!&amp;quot; Jessica de Gouw, who plays the Huntress, previously hinted that her character is &amp;quot;quite feminine&amp;quot; but can also &amp;quot;kick butt&amp;quot;. Arrow continues on Wednesday nights on The CW and airs on Sky1 every Monday at 8pm. &amp;gt; &amp;#039;Arrow&amp;#039; to introduce DC Comics villain Firefly &amp;gt; &amp;#039;Arrow&amp;#039; star on latest shock twist: &amp;#039;It elevates the show&amp;#039; Watch a promo for Arrow below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
