He has since resigned from being the mayor and has continued to lean on political issues from time to time.

He has beaten Jason Todd in a sword-fight and has deflected an incoming arrow with the sword he carries. -Weakness Human: He is a normal human who will make mistakes and can die out in the battlefield. Back story: As a young child Oliver idolized his hero Robin Hood and was said to be a natural archer, frequently practicing with his bow and arrows. He was mildly traumatized the first time he accidentally killed an animal, but when his mother and father were mauled by lions in a tragic safari accident his hesitation to shoot cost them their lives. Afterwards he was raised by his uncle and eventually inherited the family fortune and business. Queen grew into a rich, thrill-seeking, and drunken playboy with no real sense of responsibility or direction in his life. Everything changed when he fell off his boat in the middle of the ocean and washed ashore on the remote isolated Starfish Island, clutching a bow – a memento from a Robin Hood movie – which he had used to keep himself afloat, where he was completely stranded. During this time spent without food or shelter Queen developed his skills as a hunter to survive and gained mastery over his bow. Having previously taken everything in his life for granted, this experience taught him self-reliance and made him into a man. His second test of new character was the discovery of drug smugglers on the island run by the ruthless international crime lord China White. Using his new skills, he attacked and destroyed their heroin operation, then delivered them to the authorities before returning home. Realizing that he had found his destiny, he chose to use his abilities and resources as a crime-fighter. With a nickname coined by the press, he made it his mission to protect Star City. He also owns Queen Industries for his father, Robert Queen. He joined the League after he rescued them from Xandor and was voted as the sixth member of the League, due to his use of Queen Enterprises to secretly fund the League. On the day of the attack: He was protecting Star City for the attack, along with a few heroes. Then he got word of Superman's death, he couldn't believe it. Since That Day: He has helped to find both Green Lantern and Flash on the day after the attack on Earth with the other members of the League until they gave up on searching them. Green Arrow was the only one left and some members thought that he was crazy, but he did this in order to find his friends. He later gave up as well. He is still in the League and will help out the League though his company. Character Aim: The aim for Green Arrow is that he still remembers Green Lantern and Flash and he misses them deeply. But, he will still be loyal to the League and will defend Earth if needed to.
