The last of the Fab5 to get their own appreciation thread...how appropriate for our favorite screw-up.
Roy Harper isn't the best hero ever and that's part of what makes him great. He's heavily flawed, but he's always trying his best. And while both as a man and a hero he has his shortcomings, he's still a good friend and not a hero to be underestimated.
And of course, the one area where he truly shines above all others is as a father. Together, Roy and Lian have made for some of the most enjoyable and heart-warming moments out there. As many problems as there were with Convergence, we can at least take comfort that it gave the two their happy ending.

Great character.
I'm currently enjoying some of his exploits in New Teen Titans and Red Hood & Arsenal.
(Always been partial to a bit of ginger

I really hate that they got rid of Roy on the show. He was way better than Thea.

CWRoy is a lot like the 9th Doctor for me. Great characters played by some of the best actors their respective shows have ever had...but those great characters they were playing so well simply weren't the characters they were representing. Adaptations or even just different writers do different things with these characters, but 9 and CWRoy, much as I like them, aren't The Doctor and Roy Harper by any stretch of the imagination.
