“My name is Oliver Queen, and after 5 years in a violent, horrible place. I returned home with only one goal-to save my city. but my old approach wasn't enough. I had to become someone else. I had to become something else. I had to become the GREEN ARROW.”
After returning back from Lian Yu I wasn’t the same. My sister Thea Queen she was upset that I wasn't the same but after a while she understood. Things got back to normal after a couple of years, but then an old “friend” Slade Wilson came to Starling City. He came looking for me and things got so bad because he created this bad medicine called Mirakuru that made people dangerously strong and he used it on himself.
The problem with Slade looking for me is that my mom Moira Queen didn’t know Slade Wilson, nor did my sister Thea. The other thing they didn't know was that Slade and I knew each other. When I was on Lian Yu he taught me how to be strong, not only physically, but also mentally. He taught me how to be brave.
After weeks of being home, Slade kidnapped Thea and threatened telling her my big secret about being The Arrow.
So in order for my secret to stay between me and Slade I had to do everything and anything Slade told me to do. He even wanted me to kill an innocent person. It was either me keeping my sister safe or killing someone innocent. I chose my sister not knowing my secret. During the Mayorś election campaign, Slade hacked into the projector and displayed a video of Thea to intimidate Moira, because she was running for mayor. After he did that, he let Thea go. The next day Slade’s men kidnapped the Red Arrow known as Roy Harper (Thea’s boyfriend). He became their victim by using Mirakuru. Once they injected him, he wasn't breathing so they believed he was dead. They mistakenly left him alone.
Then, he woke up and he had superhuman strength. Team Arrow rescued him and once they got to the “arrow cave,” he was acting strange. They were unsure about Mirakuruś effects, so they ran some tests on him to find out more.
