*In comics:
**Roy was noticibly younger than his Arrowverse comics. He has more of a father-son relationship with Oliver (His adopted parents in the comics). Additionally, he was the adoptive brother of Thea's counterpart, Mia Dearden. 
*** He is also is the first to take on the code-name Speedy, followed by Mia Dearden. Similarly, Mia's counterpart in Arrow​​​​​, Thea Queen, takes up the name after Roy leaves it and his costume behind for her.
**He has a close relationship with Sin in the series because their comic book counterparts were step-siblings.
**Roy was a member of the Teen Titans and close friends with Wally West and Dick Grayson. Both relationships are not explored due to Wally and Roy never meeting each other and Dick's absence in the Arrowverse and being present on another DC TV show, Titans.
**He was also a descendant of Vandal Savage, but Roy was not aware of this.

*He often wears a red hoodie in reference to the color in association with his comic. 
**It may also be a reference to Jason Todd, the second Robin. They were both street kids, sidekick to billionare superheroes and have fits of rage.

*Roy has hatred and fear of needles.
*The Public is aware that Roy is alive in "Docket No. 11-19-41-73."
**As of "Life Sentence" Roy was cleared of all charges of being the vigilante once Oliver outed himself as the Green Arrow.
