Green Arrow's arch nemesis?

Hi guys! I'm working on some story ideas of mine, and since I'm not exactly a GA aficionado, I was wondering if anyone could tell me who Green Arrow's technical "arch enemy" is? I know alternate media always uses Count Vertigo, but if I'm not mistaken the original Clock King was also a significant rival to him, and hasn't he developed an enmity with Deathstroke recently as well? I really don't know what I'm talking about with Ollie so I need your help :) Thanks!

I've always considered Merlyn to be Ollie's arch nemesis. Ollie does also have a long-running feud with Deathstroke.

Originally it was Count Vertigo but in modern days it has shifted to Merlyn

either deathstroke or merlyn. My definition of arch-nemisis is someone who will attack the hero for no reason other then to ruin their lives, EX: Joker, Captain cold, Black Manta, so that would mean either of those 2

When most people think of his main villain its either Count Vertigo or Merlyn because he has a bit of a long history with both of them.

In the silver age, it was Clock King. In the bronze age, new villains were invented such as Merlyn, Slingshot, Vertigo and Stinger. Merlyn started in JLA. Slingshot was used a few times in World's Finest dollar comic. Vertigo and Stinger started at the same time. Black Canary fought Vertigo first in an issue of Worlds Finest dollar comic in her own solo feature. In the Green Arrow solo feature, Green Arrow fought new villain Stinger. In the next issue, Vertigo teamed up with Stinger to fight Black Canary and Green Arrow. Vertigo soon became a popular Green Arrow villain and was used in the first Green Arrow mini series. Deathstroke also started in the bronze age as a Teen Titans villain. Deadshot was revived in the bronze age to fight Batman.
