« biography »
Oliver was adopted as an infant by a family in Seattle, Washington. Growing up, he was given every possible thing and spoiled by his parents. His hero was Robin Hood and because of this, Oliver developed an interest in archery and began taking lessons to hone his skills. Then his parents died, in a tragic safari accident where they were mauled by lions, and Oliver was raised by his uncle, eventually inheriting the family fortune and business.Â
He became a rich, thrill-seeking, drunken playboy with no real sense of responsibility or direction in his life. But an accident on his boat left him stranded on a remote island with only his keepsake Robin Hood bow, which helped him stay afloat until washed ashore, helped him to develop his skills as a hunter and mastery over his bow. The experience taught him self-reliance and helped him to not take everything in his life for granted. It was this that also gave him a sense of justice and made him realize his destiny to use his abilities and resources as a crime-fighter. Like Batman, Oliver, now about twenty years old, gained an alias and as the Green Arrow, he built his own âArrow Caveâ and began developing his own suit, weaponry, and transportation.
« abilities & powers »
â acrobatics: He has displayed on many occasions that he is an expert in acrobatics, and often uses this skill while evading enemy fire.
â archery: Oliver Queen is perhaps the finest archer ever known. He claims to be able to shoot 29 arrows per minute (he stated this himself, in the Sound of Violence story arc, when he corrected Black Canary for saying 26). He has a wide-variety of trick arrows, ranging from bola arrows to time-bomb arrows to his infamous boxing-glove arrow. In recent years he has used these arrows sparingly, preferring the time-tested simple arrow. Green Arrow has shown the ability to shoot an arrow down the barrel of a gun, pierce a drop of water as it leaves a tap, and shoot almost any part of the human body; although he aims only to wound and not kill when he shoots. He once shot two arrows down two different gun barrels while upside down, in mid-flip while somersaulting off a building.
â aviation: He used to own and fly his own airplane called the Arrowplane. He still has some skill in flying different types of planes.
â firearms: Although not his preferred weapon, Oliver is very skilled in the use of firearms. He has displayed great accuracy with handguns and machine guns. He was even told by Deathstroke that he handles himself well with firearms.
â hunting: Archery is by far Oliver's preferred method of hunting, however, the ability to hunt comes from years of training, patience and survival. He is proficient enough in hunting to pursue a cougar without it ever noticing.
â martial arts: He is proficient in several forms of hand-to-hand combat including Eskrima, Judo, Kickboxing and Karate. Proclaimed as a martial arts master, he has shown the ability to take on seven people at once. He spent several months dedicated to making himself a better fighter and trained with many of the world's finest martial arts teachers and even went through training from Natas, the same person who trained Deathstroke.
â swordsmanship: Ollie is also very proficient with a sword, though it is not his preferred weapon of choice. He has beaten Jason Todd in a sword-fight and has deflected an incoming arrow with the sword he carries.
â throwing: Oliver is a master marksman and possesses great aim with projectile objects such as darts, in addition to his skill in archery.
â weaponry: Oliver is proficient in the use of an array of weaponry, including archery, sticks, and various bladed weapons.
