Green Arrow

Oliver Queen aka the Green Arrow is one of the major characters from the DC Comics.

Oliver Queen was a spoiled, thrill-seeking playboy, until he was left stranded on a deserted island for several years. There, he trained to become a master archer in order to survive. After his return home, he used his new-found skills and his wealth to became the costumed vigilante known as Green Arrow.

Personality
Oliver Queen has a very dynamic personality. His passion and intensity make him strong, although he has always had difficulty finding direction in life. Born into wealth, he didn't need to work for most of what he had and was raised with very little responsibility. His experience on Starfish Island taught him self-reliance and showed him there was more to existence, giving him an outlet. In the beginning of his career he has been portrayed as a thrill-seeker, fighting crime not for moral reasons but the sense of adventure. It wasn't until he lost his fortune that he developed his strong social conscience, and outspoken left-wing political viewpoints. This character development has made him much less egotistical in the way he deals with problems.

Master Archer
Green Arrow is considered by even the superhuman members of the Justice League to be the "greatest archer in the world." Green Arrow himself states he never misses, and has shot at targets without directly looking at them. Black Canary once said she saw Oliver shoot 39 arrows in one minute. Oliver's aim to so good that he has shown to be able to hit a drop of water coming out of a faucet. He has been able to completely hit on target even in midair or off balance.

He is the DCU's greatest archer and some sources (in the DCU) have even speculated that he might have a latent metahuman ability to explain his aim. Although it's just his extensive training.

Fighting Skills
After the events of One Year later, Ollie completely retrained himself and became an excellent hand to hand combatant as well as a expert weapons handler. He is skilled in judo, kickboxing, karate, and much more. He has received training from Natas and many of the world's greatest teachers. He has been shown holding his own against Batman in unarmed combat at least on one occasion. Green Arrow is also a very good brawler.

He sometimes carries a sword around, which he is actually quite skilled in. He has shown to be able to hit arrows directed at him with his sword.

Green Arrow can also fight with a bow as he has been shown to do in comics and in the tv show Arrow.

Peak Human Condition
Ollie is in excellent physical condition (at least akin to an Olympic champion) especially his agility, stamina and reflexes. He has been shown to be able to fight and exert himself (escaping the Secret Society for example) even after sustaining potentially fatal injuries. His agility is also exceptional, consistently performing near impossible acrobatic shots without trouble.

Aviation
Green Arrow is capable of flying planes. He has flown his Arrowplane.

Costume
Green Arrow's "jacket" is a form body armor. If he was shot in the chest or from behind, the bullet would not hit Oliver's vital organs due to the armor being bulletproof. The New 52 version of Green Arrow incorporates thermal goggles into his mask.

Bow:  Green Arrow may switch from a compound bow to a regular bow. Some of the bows he uses have sights. Most of his bows are colored green.

Trick Arrows
Green Arrow has a wide variety of specialized arrows, ranging from EMP arrows to poison dart arrows and everything in between. Ollie has also developed arrows to combat specific individuals, such as the Kryptonite arrow.

Some of his arrows include: In " The Kill Machine ," Ollie is only left with:
 * Standard Arrows
 * Boxing Glove Arrows
 * Flash Grenade Arrows
 * Glue Arrows
 * Tear Gas Arrows
 * Grappler Arrows
 * Ice Arrow
 * Explosive Arrows
 * Two Explosive Arrows

Vehicles
Green Arrow possesses numerous vehicles that allow him to travel to anywhere in Star City, such the Arrow Car. Many of these vehicles were directly inspired by those used by Batman. He also had an Arrowplane and an Arrowsub.
