About Green Arrow

Oliver Queen was born in Star City to billionaire industrialist Robert Queen and his wife, Moira. In his college years, he dated Sandra Hawke. In the process, she bore him a son, Connor. Apart from being present for Connor’s birth, he abandoned him and Sandra. As the young Heir to Queen Industries, of which his father was CEO, Queen was a wild socialite. Shamed by his son’s erratic behavior, Robert relegated his son to clerical work on an oil rig in the pacific, which the latter managed to convert into a hub for further partying. During one such party, Oliver and his guests were attacked by oil-thieving terrorists. Although he was advised not to, Oliver took it upon himself to challenge the terrorist leader to a fight, using his father’s fruitless archery training. The terrorists had strapped a bomb vest to Oliver’s then-girlfriend, Leena, which was rigged to explode at the activation of a detonator. Although Oliver managed to disarm the terrorist leader of the detonator, it bounced and activated, killing Leena, the terrorists, and destroying half of the oil rig. Oliver survived thanks to his friend, Arthur King, who took the brunt of the explosion, and as a result, was badly burned by the explosion. Oliver wound up marooned on an island where he survived using his bow and arrows for one year. He did eventually manage to return to civilization, taking on the name “Green Arrow” and fighting crime to protect his loved ones and friends, such as Batman.

In the normal dimension, Green Arrow shoots a cushion arrow at Black Adam to prevent him from his falling death. Before Green Arrow and Flash will fight Doomsday, Superman takes the fight and Arrow was brought into a parallel universe along with Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Aquaman, and the Joker.

Injustice 2

Green Arrow is first seen waiting for Batman with his wife Black Canary. He was then sent with Harley Quinn and Black Canary on two successive missions. The first mission is in which they were sent to stop Scarecrow from shipping a quantity of fear gas to Grodd from a hideout in Slaughter Swamp. They were then confronted by Poison Ivy and later Swamp Thing.

They later invaded Gorilla City where they defeated several foes such as Doctor Fate, Catwoman, Bane, and Gorilla Grodd along with his apes. They were later captured by Brainiac and taken to his ship. They were forced to fight Black Adam and Aquaman in Kahndaq after being mind-controlled by Grodd. They are both freed after Aquaman killed Grodd with his trident.

Super Move-1375399340

Like Batman, Oliver Queen has trained himself to his physical peak and relies on several technological devices to help him fight crime, but where Batman uses multiple items in various forms, Green Arrow primarily relies on his bow and arrow. Oliver is a trained athlete and has some martial arts skills for basic hand-to-hand combat tactics, but where Oliver's true skill lies is in his archery mastery. Green Arrow's bow can shoot more than just standard arrows; Ollie relies on all sorts of trick arrows, ranging from elementally themed shafts to an arrow with a boxing glove at the end to explosive tipped arrows. Ollie can use the bow itself as a striking weapon for surprise attacks.

Character Trait

Take Aim: Green Arrow's character trait is the ability to use his arrows with a single button press. By pressing certain directional inputs with the character trait button, it allows Green Arrow to change the type of arrow he uses into one of three elemental types: Fire, Electric and Ice. If certain conditions are met, equipping his corresponding legendary gear will swap these 3 arrow types with the following: Taser arrows which stun the opponent on impact, Tranquilizer arrows which put the opponent to sleep, disorienting them and leaving them open to follow up attacks, and explosive arrows which knock the opponent backwards.

  • If the Character Trait button is held down, it allows Green Arrow to charge the arrow, as well as move around and jump with it and aim where he wishes to shoot it. This can also be dash cancelled if the player chooses to not shoot the arrow.
  • His Default Broadhead Arrow deals little damage but can be used unlimited times.
  • His Fire Arrow deals the most damage of all the arrows and can be used three times.
  • His Electric arrow deals less damage than his Fire Arrow, but stuns the opponent for a small amount of time for combo opportunities and can be used two times.
  • His Ice Arrow does no damage. They freeze the opponent, leaving him/her open for follow up combos but can only be used once.

Other Moves

  • Grab: Green Arrow jabs the end of his bow into his opponent's abdomen then snags them by the neck with it and throws them over his shoulder.

Super Move

  • Arsenal Assault: Green Arrow shoots an explosive arrow that launches the opponent in the air, then grapples the opponents to the ground and leaps over him/her while shooting three exploding arrows.
  • Target Practice: Green Arrow hits his opponent with his bow, then fires an explosive arrow behind them. He grabs his opponent and throws them over his head onto the explosive arrow. Next, he fires an ice arrow at his opponent, freezing him/her in ice, before stomping on his opponent, shattering the ice.

Injustice Gods Among Us - Green Arrow Ending 【HD】

After the fall of Superman, Green Arrow visited the Star City of this parallel Earth. His counterpart was one of the first heroes to fall in the battle against Superman, one of the first to object to The Man of Steel's new tactics and reasoning. A memorial erected in Star City's Orchid Bay served as a reminder of the need to fight oppression, regardless of the odds. There, Green Arrow found that one citizen wasn't content to memorialize Oliver Queen in stone. With Green Arrow's training, a new archer, dressed in crimson, took up the fallen hero's mantle. Let Star City's criminals beware. The night belongs to Red Arrow.

Injustice 2- Green Arrow's Ending

Taking down that green-skinned bastard got me thinking about the people of my Earth. My universe's Brainiac had never come calling. I had to warn them. By the time I got home, it was too late. My Earth was *this* close to being gone for good. But that's when the strangest cavalry you've ever seen rode in. It was a full-on, multiverse Justice League! They'd been hopping between universes, battling Brainiac in every one. I couldn't refuse when they asked me to join. I've seen what Brainiac can do. Nobody, in any universe, should have to face that threat again.

Trivia

  • Green Arrow's debut trailer aired on the same day as the pilot for the show Arrow (2012-2020) on the CW, making him the 10th character to be confirmed as playable.
  • Green Arrow is voiced by Alan Tudyk, reprising the role from Young Justice (2010-2022) while his costume based off CW's Arrow TV show is voiced by Stephen Amell who plays him on the show. This makes him one of only three characters known to be voiced by two different voice actors, the others being Green Lantern (Hal Jordan and John Stewart) and Nightwing (Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne).
  • He is the only character whose alternate version doesn't appear in Story Mode. This is because he was killed before the two universes met.
  • The Dagger on his bow is fully detachable, which is seen when closely watching his combo animations. He uses it as a normal dagger/shortsword and leaves it attached as a blade for his bow-clubbing.
  • Interestingly, Merlyn makes a cameo appearance in one of Green Arrow's S.T.A.R. Labs mission, though he just uses Green Arrow's default appearance.
  • A total of three variations of Green Arrow have been seen in both the comics and video games, the Regime universe, which was killed by Superman, the "main" universe from the video game, and the Green Arrow from the universe Black Canary was sent to by Doctor Fate where it was Black Canary who had died instead of Green Arrow. This Green Arrow would then be brought into the Injustice universe by Doctor Fate to replace their Green Arrow.
  • When fighting himself, Green Arrow will joke that he can't tell which of them is evil because they both have beards.
  • If fighting Canary, jokes about their marriage are made.
  • Oliver appears to be right-handed, as he usually uses his right hand to pull back on the arrow.
  • Green Arrow being in Injustice 2 confused many people as they had thought he was killed by Superman long before the first game's plot, however in the Injustice comics, it's explained that the Green Arrow seen in Injustice 2 is actually an alternate reality Green Arrow from a world where his wife had died instead of him, Doctor Fate brings this Green Arrow into the Injustice universe, and he begins his relationship with Black Canary all over again.
