Arrow (character)

Arrow typically refers to Oliver Queen, a fictional superhero appearing in comic books published by DC Comics and related media. The character was created by Mort Weisinger and George Papp, first appearing in More Fun Comics #73 in November 1941.

Oliver Queen is a billionaire playboy turned vigilante who uses archery, martial arts, and technology to fight crime. Stranded on a deserted island (Lian Yu) for five years, he honed his survival skills and learned to fight, eventually returning to his home city, Starling City (later Star City), to combat corruption and protect the innocent.

The character has been adapted into various forms of media, including animated television series, live-action television series (most notably Arrow on The CW), and video games. Stephen Amell portrayed Oliver Queen/Arrow in the Arrowverse franchise, solidifying the character's popularity with a modern audience.

Arrow is often depicted as a complex character grappling with moral dilemmas and the consequences of his actions. He is typically portrayed as a skilled tactician, a formidable fighter, and a leader. His relationship with other heroes in the DC Universe, particularly Green Lantern and Batman, is also a common theme in his storylines.
