Oliver Queen is a playboy millionaire with a keen interest in Indian artefacts and lore. He is travelling to Lost Mesa, hoping to get "valuable Indian remains," when he runs across Roy Harper and Quoag. Roy was marooned on Lost Mesa after a plane crash which left him with only Quoag, the family "Indian servant." Roy trained himself to be an expert with a bow and arrow. Oliver finds Roy and Quoag at about the same time that several crooks find Oliver. There's a battle that ends with Oliver and Roy fighting off the criminals and Quoag dead. Roy and Oliver team up to fight crime as the costumed Green Arrow and Speedy. Green Arrow is a member of the 7 Soldiers of Victory. Green Arrow does not have any superpowers, but is an ace archer, has a variety of trick arrows, and drives the Arrow-mobile, a pseudo-Batmobile.
