He sought to learn archery from Hattori-sensei at the monastery. (Green Arrow v2 #0)
Green Arrow
Connor also applied for membership to the JLA, taking his father's place. On what would be his second interview, he single-handedly saved the League from the hands of the Key. Connor defeated the Key's robots using his father's old trick arrows since his own were destroyed. In the end, he knocked out the Key using the famous boxing glove arrow, and was accepted as a member of the League. (JLA #9)
Connor would take Dinah's adoptive daughter Sin to a safe location at Oliver's request. After the wedding of Oliver and Black Canary, Connor resumes the mantle of Green Arrow after it is believed that his father has once more been killed. Along with Dinah and Batman, Connor is one of the few people who believes that Oliver is still alive. His suspicions are confirmed when it is revealed that Oliver is being held captive by the Amazons, and Connor and Dinah decide to stage a rescue attempt. (Green Arrow and Black Canary v1 #2)
Taking on the mantle of Green Arrow again, Connor travelled to Coast City to face Ollie after his transformation into a Black Lantern caused by Nekron. During their battle, Ollie mocked Connor, telling him that he always hated him because he reminded him of how old he was getting. Connor was hesitant to fight his father, but eventually stopped him by spraying him with liquid nitrogen, freezing him solid. After Ollie's defeat, Connor, Mia, and Dinah joined in the fight against the other Black Lanterns. (Green Arrow and Black Canary v1 #30)
Post-Flashpoint
Following the Flashpoint, a new version of reality was created with a different history of events.
Overview
Personality and attributes
He later came to adopt a costume similar to his father and began to operate as the Green Arrow. (Green Arrow v2 #91)
He had a deep love of archery and wanted to learn it. (Green Arrow v2 #0)
Prior to meeting Oliver Queen, he had never seen the Green Arrow but had read of his exploits. It was said that he looked up to Oliver when he had returned to the monastery. (Green Arrow v2 #0)
Powers and abilities
Connor came to train in martial arts and was a skilled close combat fighter. (Green Arrow v2 #0)
At one point, it was shown that he came under the tutelage of Richard Dragon. (Richard Dragon #7)
Growing up at the monastery, he showed a particular skill towards archery with an impressive aim with his teachers believing he had great potential. However, he trained in Kyudo's which was unlike western archery as it involved physical technique of posture, breathing, drawing and releasing. The other aspect of it was the spiritual which was at the heart of Zen archery where the goal was to expand the consciousness outside of one's self. Thus, he sought to become the bow, the arrow, the target and everything where he initially struggled to master this element. His archery talent thus allowed him to easily hit a target but if it was without spirit then the act was for nothing. (Green Arrow v2 #0)
As a result of Dr. Sivana's genetic reassignment experiment, Connor came to be imparted with a regenerative healing factor possibly derived from Plastic Man. This led to him being incredibly hard to hurt, heal at an accelerated rate and his pain threshold had dramatically increased. (Green Arrow and Black Canary v1 #14)
