Green
Arrow found himself aiming at a man who vowed to kill
an innocent. While weighing his options, he thought
back on how he was created...
Oliver Queen, drunk and on a ship back to America, fell
overboard. He washed up on the shore of an unknown island.
Meal after meal of bananas and crabs left him hungry
for meat. Dazed, he chased a dear and was knocked unconscious
by a tree limb. While out, he remembered receiving a
toy bow and arrow set as a child. Once he awakened,
he fashioned one of his own and hunted. After a bit
of practice, he realized he was a natural archer. Oliver
hunted down the man who'd been stealing his meals while
he slept. The man's name was Steven Clothier. He'd been
on the island around a year after he and some friends
had a sailing accident.
The two decided to build some sort of boat and get to
civilization. There was a wrecked ship on the island
full of dead bodies. Looking inside for something to
use as a sail, Oliver found out who "Steven"
really was - a stowaway who'd killed the crew and crashed.
He recognized the man's name as being that of a famed
serial killer. Queen tied the man up and got away on
their raft.
He later washed up on another island, this one inhabited.
Queen, calling himself Green Arrow, attacked some drug
traffickers and stole their boat. Six months after vanishing,
he was home.
He reclaimed his family fortune and decided to become
a costumed vigilante. One night, while taking a young
lady home with him, he was attacked and tied up by Nicholas
Kotero - the serial killer he'd left on the island.
Kotero killed his girlfriend, and like Oliver had done
him, he left the man tied up.
They met again - Kotero held a hostage on a boat. Green
Arrow was able to take him down without killing him,
and save the girl.
