Green Arrow: JLeaguer or Seven Soldier?

[DrNewGod]

So, I was rewatching JLU episode "Patriot Act", which gave us a pastiche of The Seven Soldiers Of Victory. It's a good ep, but it provoked a thought: in any Justice League that features either Batman or Hawkman/woman (and especially one that features both) GA is redundant. Wouldn't he have more impact in a SSV?

Opinion?

Personally I liked what Snyder tried to do but unfortunately got dropped because his series ended, which is that he is much more a free agent who is to keep the justice league in check. I kind of liked that angle, because he still comes to help when needed, he’s still friends with Hal, and him and Dinah are....complicated last I checked but what’s new, while still being his own man/hero.

The Seven Soldiers of Victory is a terribly underutilized concept. They had a little over a dozen adventures (15 including the modernization done in Adventure Comics). I love the characters and the team works well with their balance. But nothing has been done with them as a modern concept although Morrison used the name. As a Golden Age team, they definitely took a backseat to the JSA. Would Green Arrow have been thought of primarily with the JL or SSV? Hell, Star Spangled Kid and Stripsey aren't really considered SSVers compared with their modern adventures.

And the two teams deal with two different Ollies and Roys. More dedicated fans will bring up the costuming and hair color details.

Anyway, I am working on a brilliant (my opinion anyway) fanfic for the original SSV. But Ollie is far more a Leaguer than a Soldier.

I think he's more a Leaguer than a Soldier, but he has more potential to grow as a Soldier.
Ollie doesn't have his own team where he can be a stand out character like Batman has with the Outsiders (or even the League).
I think it would be fun to try and develop the Seven Soldiers so they become a mainstay of the DCU. I'd definitely try combining the original with Morrison's and see what springs out of that.
I do think he should still be a honorary JLer, serving as a type of opposition to their more reactionary tendencies.

If it depended on me every single piece of history of Green Arrow would be referenced including the Green Arrows of the world and of course, the Seven Soldiers but with the obligatory inclusion of Roy (which sadly won't happen anytime soon since he's dead now for stupid reasons).

[docmidnite]

He should be in both. He's got a great history with the JL and should be in any modern incarnation of the SSoV.
