Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How did Hal Jordan resurrect Oliver Queen?

Answer: He made a genetic blueprint of Oliver from a microscopic sample of DNA culled from Superman's clothing.

Chuck Dixon planned to bring the original Green Arrow back from the dead by having Hal Jordan pull him from the fatal plane crash in the instant before the explosion, but Kevin Smith chose to have Parallax steal his old friend's DNA from the cape Superman was wearing at the time the tragedy happened.

2. Why was Connor able to get inside the brownstone when Batman, Black Canary, and Arsenal weren't?

Answer: He's Oliver's natural son.

Stanley Dover had put a "blood seal" on the building -- a magical spell blocking entrance by anyone who wasn't a blood relation of someone in the house.

3. Why was Green Arrow a "hollow" -- a husk with no soul?

Answer: Ollie's "soul" refused to leave heaven.

Oliver, having found true peace for the first time ever, refused to give it up and return to his miserable life. He finally agreed to let Hal resurrect his body only.

4. When the Spectre saved Ollie from the Demon Etrigan, who did he send to tell his friend?

Answer: Boston Brand

Boston Brand, aka Deadman, was sent as emissary to reassure Green Arrow's friends that the Demon hadn't actually destroyed him.

5. Who broke the news to Black Canary about Ollie's return?

Answer: Oracle

The Martian Manhunter wondered who was going to break the news to Dinah, but it was her partner Oracle who actually told her Oliver had reappeared.

6. How did the "husk" Ollie convince his soul to rejoin him?

Answer: Connor's life depended on it.

Although every one of those things played a part (he later told Dinah that when he left heaven, he did so hoping they could be together again,) the knowledge that his son was about to be killed persuaded Oliver to "do the right thing for a change."

7. What was the "merged" Oliver's reaction when he pulled out the boxing glove arrow?

Answer: "Oh dear Lord, we meet again"

As a treat for the old-school fans, Kevin Smith had the "younger" Ollie still using all his famous trick arrows, but when body and soul were reunited, the more mature Oliver was appalled.

8. Which one of his friends refused to believe Oliver was really who he claimed to be?

Answer: Batman

Batman insisted on proof before he would accept that his old friend had really returned from the dead. The Dark Knight kidnapped Green Arrow and took him to the Batcave to run a battery of tests on him while he was unconscious.

9. Who turned out to be the serial killer plaguing Star City?

Answer: Stanley Dover

The bloody serial killer was none other than kindly old Stanley, Green Arrow's landlord and benefactor.

10. How come Oliver is now ten years younger than he should be?

Answer: Hal resurrected him at the happiest time of his life -- ten years ago.

Oliver would only allow Hal to resurrect him at the point in his life when everything was great, before the first time he killed. As a result, the "husk" Green Arrow had no memory of the last ten years until body and soul were joined. As Batman discovered, he is also physically ten years younger, lacking any of the scars acquired in the intervening years. Good thing, too -- Ollie was pushing fifty when he died!
