<sod>** Ray Palmer is a recurring character in ''[[Arrow (TV series)|Arrow]]'' season 3. He is a brilliant scientist (with a 140 I.Q. and 3 PhDs) and the CEO of Palmer Technologies (formerly Queen Consolidated, rebranded Palmer Technologies after Ray purchases it from receivership). His fiancee, Anna Loring, was murdered by [[Deathstroke|Slade Wilson]]'s Mirakuru men (which takes place during the second season), and he vows to never let anything like Slade's attack happen again. To achieve this, he devotes much of his efforts to building a high tech suit of armour with built-in weapons and flight capability, acquiring the necessary resources from various businessmen. He also has an ambition to rebuild Starling City and rechristen it "Star City". He hires [[Felicity Smoak]] to work for him and becomes romantically attracted to her. He eventually starts dating her, much to the jealously of [[Oliver Queen (Arrow)|Oliver Queen]]. After succeeding in building his suit, the Arrow seemingly begins killing people again (in reality, Maseo Yamashiro framing Oliver on behalf of Ra's al Ghul). Ray uses his suit's x-ray vision feature to discover The Arrow's identity as Oliver Queen. On learning of Felicity's affection towards Oliver, Ray becomes jealous and tries to apprehend him. However, Oliver defeats Ray and tells Ray to trust Felicity, and Ray accepts that Oliver is being framed. When Maseo tries to kill Felicity, Ray saves her, but at the cost of his being shot in the chest. He is able to survive by secretly using a new micro-technology to heal himself. Ray later realizes that Felicity is indeed in love with Oliver, and the pair have a civil break-up and decide to resume being friends. In the season finale, Ray assists Team Arrow in their attempt to stop Ra's destroying Starling City with a bio-weapon and succeeds in dispersing the antidote, saving hundreds of lives. At the end of the episode, Ray works on a new technology to give his suit the ability to shrink, but is seemingly killed in an explosion that destroys the entire top floor of Palmer Technologies. <eod>
