Story As the young heir to a billion dollar corporate dynasty at Queen Consolidated, Oliver Queen was a wild socialite. His behavior so shamed his father Robert that he was relegated to clerical work on an oil rig in the Pacific. Naturally, Oliver turned the rig into a hub for his parties. At one such party, a helicopter meant to be carrying a famous rock star was commandeered by oil-thieving terrorists, who soon took over the rig. Against the warnings of his friend Tommy Merlyn, Oliver recklessly faced the terrorist leader armed with only a bow and arrow, courtesy of his father's to this point fruitless training. The terrorists were armed with a detonator to a battery of explosives, including some which they had strapped to Oliver's girlfriend Lena. Oliver managed to shoot the detonator out of the terrorist's hand, but it bounced and activated, blowing up half the rig, and killing Leena. Fortunately for Oliver, his life was saved by Tommy - but his friend had taken the brunt of the blast, and was very badly burnt. After this, Oliver washed up on the shore of a deserted island, and was forced to survive with only his bow and arrow for a year.

In the present day, in Star City, Oliver is back in civilization reunited with his father and lawyer Sam Armand. Robert has become pleased with Oliver since Oliver had Queen Consolidated donate a billion dollars to combat crime and corruption. Oliver has become a responsible and kindly high-ranked member of the family business but secretly a vigilante known as the Green Arrow. Colonel Khalid announces his intention to have the FBI hunt down vigilantes all over the country and is proposing a new legislation to bring them down. Oliver is then called by Roy Harper, his tech support expert, when the FBI Headquarters is being attacked. Oliver arrives as the Green Arrow only to find Khalid killed by several green arrows, his trademark. Oliver then tries to escape from the SCPD led by Lieutenant Quentin Lance, who is obsessed with arresting the vigilante. Finally, Lance has the Green Arrow cornered and captured, unmasking him to be Oliver.

The next morning, Oliver is charged with the murder of Colonel Khalid and forced to be in restraints after breaking a police officer's fingers for trying to unmask him. Robert is outraged by this and ends his friendship with Lance, who is shocked at the revelation that the Green Arrow, the man he hates the most, is the son of his closest friend.
