The Screen Junkie

..another character on the go..

I'm starting to love Green Arrow.. geez.. I never thought of liking a green archer before.. hahahaha Anyway.. you can catch him on the Justice League Unlimited series aired on Cartoon Network every.. Friday(?) hmm.. im not sure.. hehe.. and yep! he's HUMAN.. with flaws and everything.. But he's fast enough and can evade all sorts of um.. mortal stuffs.. hehe BUT WHO THE HECK IS GREEN ARROW??

Fun Facts!!...

He is the modern type of Robin Hood who brings with him loads of arrows with different functions and an amazing acrobat.. it may contain poisonous gas, captivating nets or whatever. Just like the others, he also has a secret identity. His real name is Oliver Queen. Not to mention his great looks but he's married to Dinah Lance a.k.a the legendary Black Canary. If Superman's territory is Metropolis, you can name his the Star City. Hmm, to add more info, I posted this from other fansites... :)


The wealthy world traveler was on a South Seas cruise when a sudden lurch threw him overboard. Currents carried him to the deserted Star Fish Island, and upon regaining his senses, he realized that he would have to fend for himself. Inspired by his Robinson Crusoe-like situation, Oliver began developing his own method for catching food and protecting himself: by taking up the bow he hadn't used since his use and fashioned various arrows to survive.

Oliver escaped the island after apprehending criminals who docked on the beach to check their illicit goods. Upon his arrival back home again, he continued to protect innocent citizens of Star City as the Green Arrow.

As a rebel with countless causes, Green Arrow brought a liberal conscience to the DC Universe. It wasn't always this way, though: For years, Oliver Queen operated with the benefit of a vast fortune at his disposal, meting out a brand of justice with his sidekick, Speedy. But when that fortune collapsed and his ward and bow slinging partner, Roy Harper, suffered drug abuse, he discovered that for him at least, there was more to heroism than just being a straight shooter as he traveled a hard road with the Green Lantern known as Hal Jordan.

Through the years, Green Arrow worked his lover Dinah Lance, otherwise known as the Black Canary, fighting crime. The two were members of the Justice League of America for many years until the Emerald Archer eventually relocated with her to Seattle. As Ollie entered his mid forties, an event forever changed him as Dinah was brutally tortured after being captured by drug dealers and the longbow hunting Oliver Queen killed the sadistic butcher. Oliver became grime in this part of his life and was placed on a hard road as he was framed by Eddie Fyers for terrorist activities that pushed him across several continents until he eventually returned to find his relationship broken.

Eventually, Queen was placed on a crossroads in his life where he ended back up in a monastery he had visited years before during his troubling times after losing his fortune. There, he met a teenaged Buddhist monk named Connor Hawke, whom he didn't realize was actually his own flesh-and-blood son. Working with Fyers and Connor, Oliver began training the eager youth as he fought to clear his name. Eventually, the radical Queen got tangled up with the Eden Corps, who he discovered were going to detonate a mutagenic weapon killing all of Metropolis.

Oliver Queen sacrificed his life in an airplane over Superman's city to defeat the terrorists from exploding the bomb.


In recent years, Ollie's son, Connor Hawke, has taken over the role after his father's apparent death. The young monk, has continued in the tradition of the original Emerald Archer fighting tyranny and evil with the help of Eddie Fyers and Master Jansen. In his travels, the junior bowman has proven that he is one of the world's top martial artists as he struggles with the pacifist nature he was raised and the brave and bold influence of his father's brash mannerisms.

Cool Huh? And I got some pics to prove it! ;)

Now, the original Green Arrow has returned to Star City...
