38	Connor Hawke is the biological son of Oliver Queen and Sandra "Moonday" Hawke. A fan of Green Arrow, he worked alongside his father for a time, until Oliver's "death". Connor would take up the Green Arrow mantle to honor his hero.
39	----
40	* AbortedArc: His long-awaited return after being RetGone was teased in issue #25 of ''ComicBook/GreenArrowRebirth'' but unfortunately didn't happen before the book got a new creative team.
41	* AffirmativeActionLegacy: His father's multiracial successor as the second Green Arrow.
42	* AnimalMotifs: He's sometimes associated with Hawks, which are phonetically identical his surname "Hawke". This was used heavily in his appearance in ''ComicBook/Robin2021'', where hawk and robin symbolism was used for his rivalry with [[Characters/RobinDamianWayne Damian Wayne]].
43	* AnimalThemeNaming: His surname "Hawke" is phonetically identical to hawks, which is why he sometimes has them as an {{Animal Motif\|s}}. In ''ComicBook/Robin2021'', this was the basis for his rivalry with [[Characters/RobinDamianWayne Damian Wayne]] during the Lazarus tournament, with The League of Shadows claiming that to kill a ComicBook/{{Robin}}, they need a '''Hawk'''e.
44	* AscendedFanboy: Was introduced as a huge fan of Green Arrow even before the reader knows he's Oliver's son, and eventually becomes Green Arrow.
45	* BadassNormal: He doesn't have any superpowers, his skills just come from training as a WarriorMonk in an Ashram monastery.
46	** EmpoweredBadassNormal: After being experimented on by Doctor Sivana, he gained a HealingFactor and became more resistant to pain.
47	* BadassPacifist: He's a MasterArcher and formidable WarriorMonk considered to be one of the WorldsBestWarrior, yet as a commitment to nonviolence whenever possible, and especially hates taking a life.
48	* BaldHeadOfToughness: When he's first introduced he's bald, as appropriate for a tough WarriorMonk, and also to make TheReveal that he's Oliver son less obvious. When he adopts the Green Arrow mantle he grows his hair into the dark-skinned blond look he's more know for.
49	* BashBrothers: Much like how his father Oliver often teamed up with [[Characters/GreenLanternHalJordan Hal Jordan]], Connor would also end up teaming up often with successor Green Lanter Kyle Rayner.
50	* TheBusCameBack: After the ''ComicBook/New52'' universal reboot, his character was RetGone for years. He was teased to return in ''ComicBook/GreenArrowRebirth'' but [[AbortedArc the idea was aborted when the book got a new creative team]]. He would only be brought back fully in 2021 on the ''ComicBook/Robin2021'' series.
51	* CallingTheOldManOut: He's heavily annoyed by his father's horrible parenting skills and has more than once called him out for his terrible behavior as a father and a hero.
52	* CelibateHero: Is uncomfortable with women due to being raised by monks and tends to avoid romantic relationships for this reason.
53	* ChickMagnet: Despite being a CelibateHero, he gets hit on by women pretty often, to the point that {{Chick Magnet}}s Wally West and Kyle Rayner are jealous!
54	* CommonalityConnection:
55	** He and Kyle Rayner have bonded over their shared struggle of not knowing their fathers and being racial minorities in America.
56	** He and [[Characters/RobinDamianWayne Damian Wayne]] bond over having absentee superhero fathers with similar methods and equipment.
57	* CompositeCharacter: In the ''ComicBook/New52'' continuity, Connor Hawke is the Red Arrow of Earth 2 rather than Green Arrow.
58	* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: A lot of his backstory and personality traits were created to mirror his father Oliver Queen, the first Green Arrow:
59	** Ollie was a rich kid who [[RichKidTurnedSocialActivist became a social activist]] and a BadassNormal superhero who was devoted to doing the right thing and helping the poor. Connor only had a StrugglingSingleMother who couldn't support him, so he was raised in an ashram and spent his life studying to become a humble monk.
60	** Ollie is a loud-mouthed and showy figure who had a sort of pig-headed stubbornness and cocky air about him. Connor is much more humble and reserved, and had difficulty coping with the stardom and larger-than-life aspects of being a superhero.
61	** Ollie is a [[TheCasanova notorious womanizer]] and SexGod whose libido was fairly infamous among super-heroes and has a long complicated history with his [[OfficialCouple main love interest]] ComicBook/BlackCanary who he frequently forms a BattleCouple with. Meanwhile, Connor is an Asexual ChickMagnet who is deeply uncomfortable around women due to his upbringing and gets visibly uneasy when being hit on.
62	* ConvenientComa: During ''Green Arrow & Black Canary'', he spent the majority of the run in a comatose state after being poisoned by the [[Characters/BatmanLeagueOfAssassins League of Assassins]]. Even when he woke up, he was NotHimself and became detached from many of his memories and the emotions, even forgetting how to use a bow, and he was PutOnABus by returning to the Ashram where he had been raised in order to recover.
63	* DependingOnTheArtist: His skin color tends to vary a lot. Sometimes he's black, sometimes he's AmbiguouslyBrown and sometimes he's Caucasian white just like his father.
64	* DependingOnTheWriter: His asexuality. It was potentially implied in his earlier appearances and blamed as a mix of himself and his religious upbringing. Then a certain writer retconned him into kissing a woman whom he believed to be his mother. Seemingly his asexuality is back as of ''Rebirth''.
65	* DominoMask: Like his father, he took up wearing one as part of his SuperHero after becoming the second Green Arrow.
66	* FriendlyRivalry: Forms one with Damian Wayne in ''ComicBook/Robin2021'', where they both compete in the Lazarus Tournament, but they bond over [[CommonalityConnection their absent hero fathers]] and they ultimately team up to bring the whole tournament down.
67	* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Shares his father's blonde hair and is a genuine pacifist NiceGuy.
68	* HealingFactor: After being brought to a ConvenientComa and becoming a guinea pig to Doctor Sivana, he gained an accelerated healing factor and a heightened resistance to pain.
69	* HeroicBastard: He is the son of Oliver Queen (one of ''several'') and his former girlfriend Sandra "Moonday" Hawke. Oliver walked out on him when he was a baby, but that didn't stop Connor for wanting to follow in his father's footsteps and becoming a SuperHero like him.
70	* HoYay: With Kyle Rayner.
71	* HumbleHero: He has the humility that one would expect for someone raised as a WarriorMonk, and preserves that humility even when he takes on the mantle of Green Arrow, which is in rather [[ContrastingSequelMainCharacter stark contrast to his dad's boasting and boisterous nature]].
72	* InTheHood: Tends to use a hood in his hero costume much more often than his father does.
73	* IrislessEyeMaskOfMystery: The DominoMask he usually wears completely covers his eyes.
74	* LamarckWasRight: {{Averted\|Trope}}, in that while Connor is a competent enough archer after years of training with monks as a boy, he is nowhere near the savant Oliver Queen is with a bow. He is a great martial artist, though.
75	* LegacyCharacter: With his father dead in the 90s, Connor decided to take up the mantle of Green Arrow and continue his hero's work and became the second Green Arrow. Even when Oliver came BackFromTheDead, they both stayed as Green Arrow for a time, and worked as partners in a ParentChildTeam.
76	* LukeIAmYourFather: Connor reveals to Ollie he's his son some time after they traveled together. Ollie reacts... poorly.
77	* MadeOfIron: One story arc had him surviving being ''shot in the head'' by the villain Onomatopeia, and while he was seriously injured, he quickly made a full recovery.
78	* MartialPacifist: He's a fearsome WarriorMonk, but his martial art skills also taught him how to value life and to avoid violence unless necessary.
79	* MasterArcher: As a WarriorMonk, Connor studied the Kyudo Discipline style of archery. He's not as skilled with the bow as his father and most Team Arrow members but has still shown to have some ImprobableAimingSkills with a bow.
80	%%* MrFanservice
81	* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: Connor's zen training as a WarriorMonk endowed him with the gift of vision, which sometimes allows him to sense supernatural occurrences, such as getting a vision when his father was brought BackFromTheDead.
82	* NiceGuy: Contrasting with his father's JerkWithAHeartOfGold.
83	* NomDeMom: Hawke is his mother's surname, which he uses due to Oliver walking out on him when he was a baby.
84	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
85	** Connor was so angry at Ollie for murdering Prometheus that he essentially severed all ties with the entire family, only returning for Lian's funeral but doing nothing to help Dinah, Mia or Roy before disappearing from their lives.
86	** In the ''ComicBook/Robin2021'' run, readers familiar with him know that Connor Hawke is the last person to be murdering people. It's the ''why'' of it that is the question. However, for the actual characters, they don't know who Connor is, so he's just a mysterious assassin to them.
87	* OnlySaneMan: He can sometimes seem like this in a household with his hot-tempered, impulsive father and the equally impulsive and hot-tempered Speedies.
88	* ParentalAbandonment: His father walked away from him when he was a baby and his mother left him to be raised in an Ashram monastery when he was a child.
89	* PutOnABus: As a member of Team Arrow he often returned to the Ashram he was raised in for one reason or another, as an excuse whenever a writer didn't want him around.
90	* RedOniBlueOni: He's been the Blue to Ollie's, Eddie's, Roy's, and [[ComicBook/GreenLantern Kyle Rayner's]] Reds.
91	* TheReliableOne: Often portrayed as this with the other Team Arrow members, with his calm demeanor contrasting to the others who are more HotBlooded and opinionated people and he often acts as TheConfidant and the one willing to listen and understand the issues of the others.
92	* ReligiousBruiser: He is a Buddhist WarriorMonk.
93	* RetGone: After being rebooted from existence in 2011. He mentions a bright light, which is what everyone who was retconned away saw, and then waking up lost and alone, later being found by the League of Shadows.
94	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: During ''The Fall of Green Arrow'' he decides he's had enough of his father after finding out he killed Prometheus and turns his back on him, and by extension the rest of the Arrow Family. His last appearance until ''ComicBook/Robin2021'' shows him attending Lian's funeral, but does absolutely nothing to try and comfort or help Roy as he steadily goes off the deep end showing just how ''pissed'' he is at Ollie to functionally cut everyone else out.
95	* TheStraightAndArrowPath: A variant in which the archer SuperHero is actually more famous for his skills in close quarters combat, as Connor is one of the best martial artists in the Franchise/TheDCU.
96	* ThouShallNotKill: As a WarriorMonk, Connor is by far the biggest adherent to this way of thinking, as he was raised as a BadassPacifist who values all life. He often acts as a MoralityChain to other Team Arrow members when they become willing to use deadly force.
97	* TrickArrow: As a successor to Green Arrow, he attempted to incorporate the trick arrows Ollie was famous for, but had difficulty using them due to finding them weighty and inconvenient. However, after a particularly crippling battle aboard the Justice League's Watchtower he found a case of his father's arrows and began to see their usefulness, though he still uses them much more rarely than other Team Arrow members.
98	* TwoferTokenMinority: His father is Anglo-Saxon and his mother is half-Korean/half-African American. Threefer considering his asexuality.
99	* VillainTakesAnInterest: [[Characters/BatmanLadyShiva Lady Shiva]] took notice of him after he defeated the Silver Monkey, observing Connor's quick rise as a formidable martial artist in Franchise/TheDCU. One story arc even had her taking the moniker of "Paper Monkey" and luring Connor to her, where they could have a DuelToTheDeath.
100	* WackyParentSeriousChild: Oliver is boisterous and loud while Connor is stoic and aloof.
101	* WarriorMonk: He was literally raised in a monastery and was trained to fight there, becoming a formidable hand-to-hand fighter who is particularly gifted in UsefulNotes/{{Aikido}}.
102	* WarriorTherapist: In his time with Team Arrow, he was more useful as emotional support and as TheConfidant to the many issues the rest of the members had.
103	* WideEyedIdealist: Even with Ollie's many faults, Connor still very much admires him and the SuperHero business in general, and is implied his sheltered upbringing has made him naive.
104	* WorldsBestWarrior: While he is a peg below [[Characters/BatmanLadyShiva Lady Shiva]], ComicBook/RichardDragon, and [[ComicBook/Batgirl2000 Cassandra Cain]], he is, along with [[Characters/BatmanTheCharacter Batman]], Bronze Tiger, ComicBook/BlackCanary, and Catman, one of the single best non-augmented or superpowered (Black Canary notwithstanding, though she seldom if ever uses her abilities in direct combat) physical combatants in the mainline/non-Elseworlds [[Franchise/TheDCU DCU]].
