Connor Hawke/Green Arrow Appreciation 2023

[9th.]

Emerald Fist symbolisizes his martial art mastery from the pre-52.

What about Emerald Archer (or Bow)?

What about Emerald Archer (or Bow)?

Emerald Archer is just Green Arrow with more syllables. Connor was the better martial artist so I'd lean into that more.

White Hawk could be a cool name for Connor that's a bit more unique than "Emerald/Green something" and could reference his pacifist stance.
But I honestly wouldn't mind if he just uses Hawke as that's pretty cool already.

My only real problem with Hawke as a codename is the likelihood of confusion with the similarly named Hawk of Hawk & Dove fame.

I'm thinking now of riffing on the original Richard Dragon series, as well as the old Blood of the Dragon mini, and giving him a name that's Dragon-something. Dragonclaw maybe, or Dragonfist. It would be something along the lines of Connor being trained by Richard Dragon, and being named as his martial-arts heir, thereby inheriting the jade dragon-claw pendant Richard used to wear.

Added benefit, it would likely irritate Shiva to no end.

I liked his original run from back in the day. I liked him getting powers in the Dragon's blood miniseries so I'm hoping those get expanded on. For the new 52 I would've preferred him being trained by the Fist clan. So I'm hoping that gets used now.

I hated the Dragon's Blood mini series giving him powers. It was an unnecessary change that was never going to stick.
Green Arrow #1 was a good set up, but I would like to have a 6 issue mini series staring Connor & Roy. I think that would be kinda great.
Throw in Shiva, Jade, Roy's Checkmate connections and the Brotherhood of the Monkey and let's go!!

I'm looking for some info...

According to various wiki pages, Connor has "the unique ability to mimic any fighting style he sees".

Does anyone know where that was established?

Is that ability unique

I was curious about this too a while back, and I found it comes from 'JLA: The Ultimate Guide to the Justice League of America'.

But that's not a development that came from an actual story, is it? Because it sounds like somebody writing the DC Encyclopedia or something thought, "Let's make him DC's version of Taskmaster, that'll make him more distinct from Ollie."

My memory is a bit fuzzy on this, but no, I don't think this was ever established in-story. However, I have listened to Dixon talk about his Green Arrow run before and every now and then he'll mention that he/DC wanted to establish Ollie and Connor as metahumans, so as to explain their unnatural talents in archery and martial arts respectively.

The writer of this encyclopaedia is Scott Beatty, who was a writing partner of Dixon's (and of course this encyclopaedia was approved by DC), so I assume this isn't Beatty just making it up out of thin air.

Hmmm... that's not quite what the wiki pages say, Frankly, copying a MOVE is relatively easy (there aren't THAT many ways to throw a punch/kick, after all), but that's a far cry from being able to mimic an entire STYLE.

In any case, thanks for clarifying. Personally, I've never liked the stories that have him powers, so I think it's fair to disregard.

Ollie should not be a Metahuman.
