Origin
Black Canary and Green ArrowHe was given the name, Green Arrow, by the press and soon became a member of the Justice League of America. Queen was secretly a major financial backer behind the team. Green Arrow and Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) became good friends and
began traveling across the country fighting crime together.
Connor HawkeOllie wanted to marry teammate, the Black Canary. She was hesitant due to the dangers of being superheroes. As fate would have it, Black Canary was kidnapped and brutally tortured by a crazed drug trafficker while undercover. Ollie found her beaten and, in a blind rage, shot and killed the torturer. This was the first time he had killed. The Canary lost her only superhuman power her canary cry and was unable to have children. The two would soon grow distant after this incident. Their relationship is a constant on-again, off-again situation.
Some time later, Ollie discovered he had a full grown illegitimate son, Connor Hawke, also a skilled archer. Tragedy soon broke up this newfound relationship as a plane carrying Ollie blew up over Metropolis. Connor decided to take over the mantle of the Green Arrow in his father's honor.
This wasn't the end for Ollie, though. Hal Jordan, now with his godlike powers as the Spectre, revived Ollie from the dead. After being seriously injured in an explosion during a battle with Merlyn and Doctor Light, Ollie spent several months healing. He hired the world's best martial arts masters to train him to the peak oh physical human condition. A rift was formed between Ollie and Connor when he hired the assassin named Natas (whom had trained Deathstroke the Terminator) to mentor him in the killing arts.Then Ollie decided to try to make a difference in Star City by running for and becoming mayor. He won, and he used this position to aid in his "other" job.
