Thursday’s episode of DC’s “Legends of Tomorrow” was easily the best episode of the series so far and arguably one of the best episode to take place in the Arrowverse. The team crash landed in Star City in the year 2046 only to find that all hell had broken loose. The city was being run by gangs and Oliver Queen was believed to be dead.
The team came across Connor Hawke who had been posing as the Green Arrow. Sara Lance went after Connor after he was shot point blank by Deathstroke. Sara explained that the team was looking for a device that could help them repair the Waverider. Connor took them to Team Arrow’s lair which was rundown and falling apart. Oliver Queen then emerged from the shadows.
Oliver appeared with one arm and a goatee then revealed that Connor Hawke’s real name is John Diggle Jr. Connor Hawke’s father was none other than Oliver Queen’s best friend John Diggle. In the comics Oliver Queen is his father and his mother is Sandra “Moonday” Hawke. It wasn’t revealed who his mother is on the show.
The Diggle we know and love was killed in this possible future when Deathstroke led an uprising in Star City. When Sara asked about the rest of Team Arrow, Oliver also insinuated that they were dead.
As far as Oliver himself goes, he was in hiding after his left arm was cut off by Slade Wilson’s son, Grant Wilson. Eventually Wilson took Connor Hawke hostage and Sara Lance asked for Oliver’s help. At the end of the episode Oliver came out of hiding and used a prosthetic arm he had from S.T.A.R. Labs to take out Wilson once and for all.
When we last left Oliver he was in Team Arrow’s lair with Connor cleaning it up. It also looked like he was ready to become the Green Arrow again or at the very least, a full time mentor to Connor.
