Oliver Queen was the heir to Queen Industries, a wealthy corporation.

As a young man, he lived to party and spend his family fortune.

Embarrassed by his son's behaviour, his father sent Oliver to work on an oil rig.

When terrorists seized the rig and threatened Oliver's friends, Oliver ignored the warnings of his friend Tommy Merlyn and tried to stop them using a bow and arrow, which his father had made him take lessons in.

The conflict led to an explosion that badly injured Tommy and threw Oliver into the sea.

Oliver washed up on an island, where he had to survive for a year with only his bow and arrow.

After being rescued, he returned to civilization a different man with new priorities.

Newly aware of the injustices in the world and the need to right them, Oliver took on the vigilante role of Green Arrow, a mysterious figure who used a bow and arrow against criminals and the corrupt.

Early in his career as Green Arrow, he was badly injured and sought help from Queen Industries' head of security, John Diggle.

Diggle tended to Oliver's wounds and kept his secret.

The two men became allies and close friends, but when Oliver's mother died (his father having died earlier while on a trip overseas), he became depressed and reckless.

Oliver and Diggle argued over his behaviour, and ultimately Diggle quit.

Green Arrow's legend as a hero grew. He added "trick arrows" using advanced technology to his quiver, with effects from sonics to explosives.

The father of his old friend Tommy Merlyn, Malcolm Merlyn, a member of the League of Assassins, proved to be a persistent adversary, blaming Oliver for his son's apparent death.

At one point, Oliver Queen's pocket was picked by a homeless youth, Roy Harper.

Oliver caught him and decided to take him in.

Roy learned Oliver's secret and, showing an aptitude for archery, eventually became his partner, code-named Speedy.

Green Arrow joined the Justice League, where he met allies and friends like Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) and his future love, Black Canary.

Their romance has endured, though their fierce independent streaks and hot tempers have resulted in lengthy periods of separation at times.

A low point came when Speedy, in pain from injuries sustained in battle, became addicted to painkillers and subsequently other drugs.

Oliver, feeling responsible and unable to bear the guilt, lashed out at Speedy and left, leaving Black Canary to help Roy overcome his addiction.

Though Oliver later apologised to Roy, their relationship was damaged, and Roy eventually went out on his own, taking the name Arsenal.
