Felicity’s New Code Name Revealed!

If you have not yet watched the January 27 episode of Arrow, don’t read this article!

Tonight’s episode of Arrow finally answered a question a lot of us have had: “What will Felicity’s code name be?”

The show has answered, and it’s a name that is very special to Marc Guggenheim, for sure: Felicity’s new code name, as revealed in “A.W.O.L.,” is “Overwatch.”

You might know that “Overwatch” is also the title of a novel by Mr. Guggenheim himself. Check it out; you might like it!

And why not that other name a lot of people thought might be earmarked for Felicity?

Oliver Queen said it best: “I was gonna go with Oracle, but it’s taken.”

We can thank Barbara Gordon for that one.

Also… some self-back-patting: GATV’s Matt Tucker suggested Overwatch way back on November 4. Booyah!
