Created by Mort Weisinger and George Papp, Green Arrow first appeared in More Fun Comics #73 in 1941. His secret identity is Oliver Jonas "Ollie" Queen, billionaire and mayor of Star City.
Green Arrow is considered one of the best archers in the world. He claims to be able to shoot 29 arrows per minute (he stated this himself, in the Sound of Violence story arc, when he corrected Black Canary for saying 26). He has a wide-variety of trick arrows, ranging from bola arrows to time-bomb arrows to his infamous boxing-glove arrow. In recent years he has used these arrows sparingly, preferring the time-tested simple arrow. Green Arrow has shown the ability to shoot an arrow down the barrel of a gun, pierce a drop of water as it leaves a tap and shoot almost any part of the human body; although he aims only to wound and not kill when he shoots.
