Goliath is a fictional character and an Amalgam Comics superhero, whose true debut was in JLX #1, though his (metafictional) Amalgam Universe debut was in JLA #2. He is a combination of DC Comics' Green Arrow and Marvel Comics' Hawkeye, while Hawkeye was under the name of Goliath.

[edit] Character overview

Goliath's only true appearance was a minor one in JLX #1 (1996), so like many members of the Judgment League Avengers, there is not a lot of information regarding him. He is Oliver Queen, and he made his first appearance in JLA #2, when he joined the team along with Myx. He received his powers with the help of Hank Pym, who worked for Project Cadmus. He has stayed with the JLA through thick and thin, and is romantically involved with Canary.
