yea but because if oliver is knocked out, his enemy can take off his mask plus many people actually tried to figure out who he is while supergirl's enemies dont give a fuck

Never underestimate the power of magic glasses! xD

[@xanderm6090]

Well Oliver having a mask makes people curious about what is under it. However, with Supergirl nobody cares because she doesn't wear a mask. They think she is always Supergirl.

[@Xehanort10]

I also wondered how the people of Star City never realised that The Hood, The Arrow, and The Green Arrow were all the same person. I know Roy pretended he was The Arrow and faked his death but when Oliver started his Green Arrow identity I don't why people weren't more suspicious and thinking "Hey maybe that Roy Harper guy wasn't The Arrow after all because even though he's dead there's another one." Did they all just think the Green Arrow was a copycat of The Arrow?

Nothing wrong with ur counting and it doesn’t really make a difference in numbers but Nate learned in the first episode of Legends not during the crossover, and Curtis learned Oliver’s identity earlier during the bee attack. Again, it doesn’t really make a difference and obviously in the groups they both were in at the time it was easier to edit than finding their individual clips with Oliver.
