Oliver Queen/Earth-1

**Oliver Jonas "Ollie" Queen** (born May 16, 1985) was a billionaire and former playboy, turned archer superhero of Star City, and the leader of Team Arrow. He is the son of the late Robert Queen and Moira Queen, the older paternal half-brother of Emiko Adachi, the older maternal half-brother of Thea Queen, and the father of William Clayton. He is also the ex-boyfriend/good friend of the late Laurel Lance, Sara Lance, and Shado. He is also the best friend of Tommy Merlyn and John Diggle, and a good friend of Barry Allen/Sebastian Smythe, Santana Lopez-Allen, Sam Allen, Quentin Lance, Roy Harper, Lyla Michaels, Anatoly Knyazev, Ray Palmer, Kara Danvers, Rene Ramirez, Dinah Drake, and Curtis Holt.

Oliver was lost from society after his family's yacht sank and made it to the island of Lian Yu, where he went on a mission of survival and self-discovery, learning skills that include, and aren't limited to, archery, swordsmanship, hand-hand combat, etc. He traveled to China and Russia on missions as an agent of A.R.G.U.S. for some time, became a member of the Solntsevskaya Bratva known as **Kapot** (Russian for *Car Hood*), and the murderous vigilante **Luchnik**/**Kapiushon** (Russian for *Archer*/*Hood*). After being presumed dead and lost at sea for five years, Oliver returned home with a mission to save his city from crime and corruption. He began his crusade as an archer who would eventually become known as **the Hood**, **Starling City Vigilante**, or simply **the Vigilante**. As the Hood, Oliver was willing to use lethal force by targeting members on his father's list.

After the Undertaking caused the death of his best friend, Tommy, Oliver decided to continue his crusade, renamed as **the Arrow**, stylized as the "**Emerald Archer**", while also making a vow to avoid killing whenever possible to honor Tommy's memory. As the Arrow, Oliver continued working with Diggle and Felicity, met forensic scientist Barry from Central City, and had confrontations with Slade who he met on the island and had presumed dead. Five months after saving Starling City from the Siege, the Arrow was declared as a hero to the citizens of Starling City.

Following the initial death of Laurel's sister and his ex-girlfriend, Sara, Oliver came into conflict with Ra's al Ghul, the leader of the League of Assassins who threatened to kill the people of Starling City if he did not not find Sara's killer, forcing Oliver to falsely claim responsibility in order to fight Ra's to the death, where Oliver was vastly outmatched and defeated and almost killed. Oliver survived the duel and by law had to become the next Ra's al Ghul, but he refused, resulting in Roy taking the fall after Ra's outed Oliver's identity to the public. When Ra's nearly killed Thea, Oliver gave in to the League in order to save his half-sister's life and joined them under the identity of **Al Sah-him** (Arabic: السهم; for Arrow). When Ra's planned to have Oliver destroy his home, Starling City, a tradition all becoming the next Ra's al Ghul must commit, an event which would be known as the Outbreak. Oliver, who was seemingly erased from his old life, returned to his team to stop the attack and Ra's al Ghul once and for all. After saving Starling City, Oliver retired from vigilantism and began a new life in Ivy Town with Felicity.

Five months after retiring, Oliver was called back to Starling City, renamed Star City in honor of the seemingly-dead Ray Palmer, and took up a new code-name, **Green Arrow**, to continue fighting for the people of his city. After stopping the terrorist organization H.I.V.E., and its leader Damien Darhk, from completing Genesis, his rallying of Star City as Oliver Queen earned him the full support of the people and soon after was made the mayor.

Five months after becoming mayor, he came into conflict with Adrian Chase, aka Prometheus, a serial killer wanting to avenge his father, Justin Claybourne and destroy Oliver's life. When Chase's team captured Oliver's friends and family, their final confrontation was met on Lian Yu. While Oliver freed everyone, including his illegitimate son, William Clayton, Chase killed himself to detonate bombs placed all over Lian Yu in an attempt to kill everyone on it.
