GENERAL/STORY:
Dressed like Robin Hood, Green Arrow is an archer who invents trick arrows with various special functions, such as a glue arrow, a net arrow, explosive arrow, time bomb arrow, grappling arrow, fire extinguishing arrow, flash arrow, tear gas arrow, cryonic arrow, a boxing-glove arrow, and even a kryptonite arrow. Throughout his first twenty-five
years, Green Arrow was not a significant hero. In the late 1960s, however,
writers chose to have him lose his fortune, giving him the then-unique
role of streetwise crusader for the working class and the disadvantaged.
In 1970, he was paired with the more law-and-order-oriented hero Green
Lantern in a groundbreaking, socially conscious comic book series.
Since then, he has been popular among comic book fans and most writers
have taken an urban, gritty approach to the character. ORIGIN:
