Famous Quotes
"It's not about being right or wrong; it's about being alive."

"Some days, I can’t tell if I’m an addict trying to get clean or a superhero grappling with guilt."
Biography
Green Arrow, also known as Oliver Queen, debuted in 1941 in 'More Fun Comics' #73 as a wealthy playboy with a passion for archery. His life changed dramatically after being stranded on a deserted island, where he honed his skills in archery and survival. Upon returning to society, he used his newfound abilities to fight crime in Star City. Over the decades, Green Arrow has evolved from a Batman-like character to a more complex figure often embroiled in social issues such as poverty and injustice. His evolution reflects a journey of personal redemption and responsibility, frequently collaborating with the Justice League and engaging in storylines that illuminate political and social themes. In various adaptations, including television's 'Arrow,' he has been portrayed as a darker, grittier character, adding layers to his already rich lore. His relationships with other heroes, especially with Black Canary, have become iconic, evolving from teamwork to romantic involvement, which further enriches his character development.
