**Oliver Queen** aka **Green Arrow** is a superhero archer from Star City, the head of Queen Industries, and a member of the Justice League.

## Personality

Oliver is a heavy drunk, which affects his behavior.

## Physical appearance

Oliver Queen has blond hair, blue eyes, a blond mustache, and a beard. Since his codename is Green Arrow, his clothes seem to mostly be green. He wears a dark green shirt with a hood underneath a long light green vest with three dark green oval-shaped fasteners, black pants, and green boots. He carries a quiver along his back that is filled with arrows and has a black strap that goes along his chest. He also has long green gloves, a black mask, and a green belt with a gold "G".

## History

### Saving Perdita

Oliver Queen arrived at the Star City airport. The hero was distracted as he had been working up the courage to propose to his long-time girlfriend, Dinah Lance, also known as Black Canary. Meanwhile, assassins hired by Count Vertigo prepared to kill Princess Perdita of Vlatava, who was arriving in the city. If she was killed, Vertigo would become the king of their country, as he was next in line for their throne. Green Arrow stopped the initial attack and defended the princess. The top assassin, Merlyn, followed the pair. In a stand-off, Arrow managed to defeat him. Vertigo arrived to finish off the hero but was stopped by Black Canary. Finally summoning the courage, Oliver proposed to his girlfriend. She happily accepted.

### The Loss of Speedy and Young Justice

On July 4th, 2010, Green Arrow and Speedy took down Icicle Jr., who was attacking the Star City bridge. Speedy asked his mentor to let him kill the villain, saying it'd stop him from ever hurting anyone again. Green Arrow ignored this request, choosing to mess with the criminal by drawing a penis on his face. The duo then went to meet up with other heroes at the Hall of Justice. The Justice League had prepared the Young Justice initiative, a team that would comprise the sidekicks of the League: Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, and Speedy. However, upon seeing that the League spent most of their time partying, Speedy left. The heroes then had to go help Kevin Smith, after he was kicked out of a plane due to his 'proportions.' When Green Arrow and his allies returned, they found that the teen heroes had left the Hall of Justice and broken into a Cadmus facility, where they discovered a Russian clone of Superman called Superboy. With the teens having disobeyed direct orders, Batman attempted to shut down the Young Justice initiative, but they managed to convince him otherwise. Batman set them up at Mount Justice under the condition that they would carry out strictly covert ops.

Having abandoned the traditional hero life and the identity of Speedy, Roy became Red Arrow, a hero who wasn't afraid of breaking the rules and killing criminals. After killing Brick (who taunted him to do so), Red Arrow called the Justice League and informed them about his breaking of their one rule. Green Arrow tried to patch things up with his former partner but was routinely rejected.

### Artemis

Batman invited archer-enthusiast Artemis Crock to become a hero and join the Young Justice team. She first had to prove herself by training with Green Arrow. In Star City, Black Spider threatened Serling Roquette's brother, trying to find out where the doctor had escaped the Shadows. He was stopped by Green Arrow and Artemis. Red Arrow later visited Mount Justice to explain the situation but was angered to find that Green Arrow had replaced him so quickly. Moving past that, he revealed that the League of Shadows was after Serling Roquette, their weapons manufacturer. Red Arrow offered the Young Justice team the gig, swore revenge on Green Arrow for the trauma he endured as a child, and left.

Later, Green Arrow and Superboy drank at a bar. The archer struggled to hold his alcohol and pleaded to his former sidekick Red Arrow, who happened to be sitting at the next table over. Despite his former mentor's pleas, Roy ignored him, still angry.

### Running Mate to Lex Luthor

Oliver served as Lex Luthor's running mate during his Presidential campaign. This caused Roy to have a small mental breakdown. They were defeated in the election, but Superman resigned, causing Lex to become the President-Elect and Oliver to become Vice President-Elect.

### Finding Speedy

Red Arrow and Cheshire discovered that the former wasn't the real Roy Harper, but a clone. Roy had been kidnapped by Lex Luthor, had his arm cut off, and been replaced. Oliver and the clone Roy went to the boy's bedside as he awoke and told him what had happened. Angry, he asked them to leave. When they returned, they discovered that the real Roy Harper was missing, having gone after Lex Luthor.

By the time, Green Arrow and Red Arrow caught up to Roy, he was already exiting the Lexcorp building, having left the villain alive for the time being. Equipped with a robotic, highly-weaponized appendage, Roy decided to take on a new identity to go along with the arm: Frank.
