The mission turned out to be fatal for Oliver, as his arm was connected to a bomb in a plane that was headed for Metropolis. He subsequently agreed to go undercover in an eco-terrorist group called the Eden Corps for the government. Eddie Fyers had already deduced this, but Oliver did not take the revelation well. It was during this time that Oliver learned about his connection to Connor from the ghost of Hal Jordan: Connor was Oliver's son, conceived during Oliver's college years. Connor served as Oliver's sidekick, also meeting with Eddie Fyers, the former federal agent that acted as a form of counsel for Oliver. Ĭonnor decided to journey with Oliver, and created a costume similar to his. Thanks to Connor, who was a big fan of Green Arrow, Oliver was able to regain a semblance of inner peace and venture out into the world again, especially after numerous attempts on his life had been made. Oliver who had previously retreated to the ashram decades before, looking for peace after accidentally killing a criminal (in The Flash #217), returned to the ashram under similar circumstances, haunted by the thought that he had killed his former best friend Hal Jordan, who, at the time, was involuntarily serving as the host of the supervillain Parallax. Separately, another loose adaptation of Connor's comic book origin story involves Oliver discovering he has an illegitimate son named William Clayton, is also depicted on Arrow with the present day version played by Jack Moore and the future adult version played by Ben Lewis.įictional character biography Meeting Oliver Queen Ĭonnor Hawke met Oliver Queen after Oliver came to stay at the ashram where Connor had been studying for some years.

The DC Pride 2022 anthology confirmed that Connor is asexual. The publisher has also chosen to place greater emphasis on Connor's multi-racial background, as a superhero of mixed European, African-American and Korean ancestry, with his mother and Korean grandmother added to his supporting cast. With the publisher's Infinite Frontier initiative in 2021, Connor is restored to prominence, reintroduced as the second Green Arrow and Oliver's illegitimate son. For a decade, from 2011 to 2021, the character was largely absent after DC attempted to make Oliver Queen a younger man again and to reintroduce his supporting cast gradually as part of its The New 52 relaunch, although versions of the character continued to appear in comics set elsewhere in the DC Comics Multiverse. The character's prominence in DC comics has gone up and down at many points following his short-lived tenure as a full-time replacement for Oliver Queen.
