My
name is Oliver Queen, and I am the superhero vigilante, Green Arrow!
I am a billionaire that fights crime using archery, martial arts
and technology. I manage the crime throughout my home, Star City alongside Team
Arrow, which is composed of: Connor Hawke, Speedy (Red Arrow) and my wife,
Black Canary.
As a
kid, the outlaw, Robin Hood, became one of my favorite stories. As I was growing up, due to this fascination,
I took a special interest in archery. My parents were happy for me and
constantly took me on hunting trips so I could improve. Life was perfect until
disaster struck when my parents were mauled by lions while we were on one of
these safaris.
It was
my fault…
My
hesitation to kill the heartless creatures in front of me caused my parents to
get killed, and I vowed to never let something so foolish happen again. I
learned that whenever a shot present itself, I should take it to protect those
that I loved and although it was sad, it was probably the most valuable lesson
that life could have taught me.
After
my parents died, I started living with my uncle until I inherited my family’s
massive fortune. I decided to use this newfound money and buy myself a boat! Then
it happened…
I fell
off my boat in the middle of the ocean and ended up on a remote island called
Starfish Island. The only reason I even made it was because the replica Robin
Hood bow I was grasping onto somehow kept me afloat until I washed ashore after
the accident.
During
my time on the island without food and shelter I developed my skills as a
hunter, and gained mastery over my bow. I worked hard to learn self-reliance
and maturity, becoming the vigilante that the Star City Police Department knows
all too well. I grew confident enough to bust the massive drug operation taking
place on the island, and eventually signaled a nearby boat which brought me
back to civilization.
On the
island, I realized that I had found my destiny!
I
would use my resources, archery abilities and fighting skills to become a crime
fighter.
I
would stand up for the people who had not learned to protect themselves!
Come
help Green Arrow and the rest of the Justice League this
summer, by doing the Save the
Superheroes Scavenger Hunt in the Children’s Room at the Avon Free Public
Library!
