==Other versions== ===Amalgam Comics=== Two versions of Green Arrow exist in the ''[[Amalgam Comics|Amalgam universe]]'': * Oliver Queen aka '''Goliath''' is an amalgamation of Green Arrow and the [[Marvel Comics]] character [[Erik Josten]]/Goliath.<ref>''JLX'' No. 2</ref> * '''Clinton Archer''' as '''Hawkeye''', an amalgam of Green Arrow and [[Clint Barton]].<ref>''JLX'' No. 1</ref> === Earth-Two === {{See also|Crisis on Infinite Earths|Multiverse (DC Comics)}} For many years, DC Comics wrote stories in what it called a [[Multiverse]], or a series of infinite parallel Earths. This allowed DC writers to freely [[retcon]] and retell stories, as well as explain continuity mistakes. The Green Arrow of the 1940s, like all [[Golden Age of Comic Books|Golden Age]] characters at that time, resided on [[Earth-Two]] and was a member of the [[Seven Soldiers of Victory]] and [[All-Star Squadron]] along with his sidekick [[Roy Harper (comics)|Speedy]]. Despite having a different origin than the modern Green Arrow, the Golden Age character's development largely parallels the modern one's. During DC's landmark event "[[Crisis on Infinite Earths]]", Green Arrow is now in his 60s and is among the superheroes summoned by Monitor. He assists [[Beast Boy|Changeling]] of Earth-One and [[Mento (character)|Mento]] of Earth-One in fighting [[Shaggy Man (comics)|Shaggy Man]] II of Earth-One. While noticing that Shaggy Man is not a living being, Green Arrow defeated it with an explosive arrow.<ref>''Crisis on Infinite Earths'' No. 10. DC Comics.</ref> Green Arrow was among those who were killed by the Anti-Monitor's Shadow Demons which he tried to fight in Chicago as [[Peacemaker (character)#Earth-Four|Peacemaker of Earth-Four]] was unable to get to him in time. This was because Green Arrow of Earth-Two was not as fast as he used to be due to his current age. The Anti-Monitor's defeat destroyed all the planets of the Multiverse and rebooted the DC universe with a single Earth.<ref>''Crisis on Infinite Earths'' No. 12. DC Comics.</ref> === Modern DC alternate universes === DC's weekly series ''[[52 (comics)|52]]'' established a new 52-Earth [[Multiverse (DC Comics)|Multiverse]]. The ongoing series ''[[Countdown (DC Comics)|Countdown]]'' showcased several of these. On Earth-3, an evil equivalent of Green Arrow is a member of the supervillain co-op called the [[Crime Syndicate|Crime Society of America]]. Another evil equivalent exists in the [[Antimatter universe of Qward|Antimatter Universe]] called''' Deadeye'''. On Earth-15, Roy Harper has replaced Oliver as Green Arrow.<ref>''Countdown'' No. 24 (November 2007)</ref> In the gender-reversed world of Earth-11, Oliver is now Olivia Queen, and that world's version of the Black Canary closely resembles him in appearance.<ref>''Countdown Presents: The Search for Ray Palmer – Superwoman/Batwoman'' #1 (February 2008)</ref> The ''Kingdom Come'' (Earth-22) and ''Dark Knight Returns'' (Earth-31) stories and their variations of Oliver were later amalgamated into the 52-Earth Multiverse. In the alternate timeline of the ''[[Flashpoint (comics)|Flashpoint]]'' event, Oliver Queen is the head of '''Green Arrow Industries''', a major military contracting company, as well as leads an ex-military band of Green Arrows. Even though Oliver is an inventive genius, he steals advanced gadgets from super-villains for military use. one day, Oliver discovers his Green Arrows were killed by a female raider at his base at [[Starfish Island (DC Comics)|Starfish Island]] and killing his best friend/head of security Roy Harper. Taking his weapons and gadgets to hunt down the woman in battle, Oliver shockingly learns that she is a daughter of his and [[Vixen (comics)|Vixen]], Oliver's former lover, as well as the reason she attacked him was because Green Arrow Industries built factories which specializing in testing super-villain weapons in American towns that inadvertently became targets for the super-villains looking to gain their weapons back. Shocked by her revelation, Oliver had only been stalling before his daughter is killed by his reserve teams he earlier called.<ref>''Flashpoint: Green Arrow Industries'' one-shot (June 2011)</ref> === Earth-31/''The Dark Knight Returns'' === The character appears in [[Frank Miller]]'s ''[[Batman: The Dark Knight Returns]]'' and the sequel ''[[Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again]]'' listed as [[Earth-31]]. Despite missing an arm (implied to be because of [[Superman]]),<ref>''The Dark Knight Returns'' No. 4</ref> Oliver still proves to be an effective archer (he grasps the nocks of his arrows in his teeth). Oliver was later requested by Batman to help the Dark Knight fight against Superman. Oliver accepts, and implants Batman's synthetic [[kryptonite]] into the tip of one of his arrows, causing Batman to emerge as the winner. After Batman fakes his death for him to go underground, Oliver, sporting a mechanical arm as a prosthesis for his left arm, joins Batman in his war against a corrupted American government run by [[Lex Luthor|Alexander Luthor]]. In ''The Dark Knight Returns'', Queen is portrayed as an anarchist, while in ''The Dark Knight Strikes Again'', he is explicitly described as a "billionaire turned [[Communist]]."<ref>''Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again'' #3</ref> === Other DC Elseworlds stories === In ''[[JLA: The Nail]]'' and [[JLA: Another Nail|its sequel]], Oliver is a featured as a disabled ex-hero, having lost an arm, an eye, and the use of his legs in a fight with [[Amazo]], which also resulted in the death of [[Hawkman]]. Bitter and furious, he now spreads fear on [[Perry White]]'s talk show about the JLA being aliens and claims that they are planning to conquer the world; his former teammates speculate that this is his method of coping.<ref>''JLA: The Nail'' #1</ref> In the sequel, Oliver's brain is transplanted into Amazo's body{{spaced ndash}}the Flash having removed Amazo's computerized brain in an earlier fight{{spaced ndash}}restoring his sanity, allowing him to defeat the creature threatening the universe at the cost of his own life, after mending fences with his former teammates. In ''[[Batman: Holy Terror]]'', Oliver Queen is mentioned as having been executed, found guilty of supporting underground Jewish "pornographers".<ref>''Batman: Holy Terror''</ref> He has a cameo as Bruce Wayne's society friend in Dean Motter's ''[[Batman: Nine Lives]]''.<ref>''Batman: Nine Lives''</ref> Oliver Queen also appears in [[Mike Mignola]]'s ''[[Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham]]'', where he is portrayed as a guilt-ridden latter-day [[Knights Templar|Templar]] equipped with magic arrows dipped in the blood of [[Saint Sebastian]]. He is killed in issue No. 2 by [[Poison Ivy (comics)|Poison Ivy]].<ref>''Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham'' #2</ref> Oliver appears in ''[[Superman: Red Son]]'', where Oliver Queen is a reporter for the [[Daily Planet]] working underneath [[Perry White]] and eventually [[Lois Lane]].<ref>''Superman: Red Son'' #3</ref> An older, balding Green Arrow appears in [[Mark Waid]] and [[Alex Ross]]' futuristic ''[[Kingdom Come (comic)|Kingdom Come]]'', in which Oliver has joined forces with Batman to oppose Superman's army/Justice League. He married his longtime love [[Dinah Lance]] and they have a daughter, '''Olivia Queen''' aka '''Black Canary II'''.<ref>''Kingdom Come'' No. 2</ref> Green Arrow appears in ''League of Justice'', a ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''–inspired fantasy where the character is renamed "'''Longbow Greenarrow'''": a mysterious wizard resembling [[Gandalf]]. ''JLA: Age of Wonder'' shows Green Arrow as a defender of the poor and an enemy of oppression.<ref>''JLA: League of Justice'' #1–2</ref> === ''Injustice'' series === In the ''[[Injustice: Gods Among Us (comics)|Injustice]]'' universe, where the [[Joker (character)|Joker]] kills Lois Lane and her unborn child, driving Superman to autocratic madness, Green Arrow joins Batman's Insurgency against Superman's Regime, recognizing the corrupt Man of Steel's harsher approach to ending crime. In ''[[Injustice: Gods Among Us (comics)|Injustice: Gods Among Us]]'', he is married to [[Black Canary]] and also unintentionally becomes close to [[Harley Quinn]], who he saves from a near-death encounter with Superman. Near the end of Year One (the comic's first volume) he is beaten to death by Superman in his Fortress of Solitude after the former mistakenly believes that the Insurgency has come to harm his adopted parents kept there (though in reality it was a botched attempt to gain a super pill meant to give humans great power). With his final action, Oliver is able to use an arrow to deliver the super pill to the Insurgency so that the mission was not in vain. Year Two reveals Canary to be pregnant with Oliver's child, leaving her determined to take down Superman for his murder. *When Superman nearly kills Black Canary trying to avenge Green Arrow, Doctor Fate heals and takes Dinah to an alternate universe where a different version of Oliver Queen remains alive but his own Black Canary, along with most of his allies, are deceased. Doctor Fate leaves the two to raise the baby—named Conner—together, giving each other a chance at happiness. Five years later, in the prequel comic of the game's sequel ''[[Injustice 2 (comics)|Injustice 2]]'', alternate Oliver and Dinah receive news from Doctor Fate of Superman's defeat at the hands of his Prime-Earth counterpart. While Dinah is brought home by Doctor Fate to help Batman restore Earth, the alternate Oliver joins in to honor his late-counterpart. The alternate Oliver discovers that, unlike himself, his deceased counterpart maintained his wealth and resources, and while the public is unaware that its Oliver Queen is dead, alternate Green Arrow is able to access them for the heroes' needs. He learns his counterpart's marriage to Dinah, prompting her to ask the alternate Green Arrow his hand-in-marriage, which he accepts. He and Batman also do not get along, waiting for an opportunity to duel after Oliver reveals that, based on what he learned from Dinah, he has more training than his counterpart. ===Superman: American Alien=== In the 2016 comic book '''Superman: American Alien''' by [[Max Landis]], which features an alternate retelling of Clark's journey to becoming Superman, Oliver Queen encounters [[Superman|Clark Kent]] two times in his life. First is when Clark was nineteen and Oliver mistakes him for [[Batman|Bruce Wayne]], whom he had thrown a birthday party for despite being aware that Wayne would never show up. Clark, after some hesitation, decides to enjoy himself and befriends Oliver, though he briefly becomes annoyed and shocked at how much money Oliver and his friends waste. Years later, after getting off Starfish Island, Oliver has matured more and encounters Clark again, who has begun his new career at the Daily Planet. At first believing him to be Bruce, Clark quickly comes clean. Oliver forgives him before introducing him to [[Lex Luthor]], partly to annoy the latter.<ref>''Superman: American Alien'' #3</ref> ===Earth 2=== In the pages of ''[[Earth-Two|Earth 2]]: World's End'', Oliver Queen is an ally of Batman and operates as Red Arrow. When Batman was killed during the Apokoliptian invasion, Red Arrow continued to guard the Codex that contained the DNA of every animal, plant, and organism in an underwater fortress built by Bruce Wayne. When [[Thomas Wayne|Batman]] and [[Huntress (Helena Wayne)|Huntress]] arrive at the underwater fortress, they meet Oliver Queen who assists in fighting the second Apokoliptian invasion. He and the Codex are among those evacuated from Earth when it was destroyed.<ref>''Earth 2: World's End'' No. 21. DC Comics.</ref>
