[edit] Powers and abilities

DONT change the powers and abilities until you write on the discussion. im tired of fools keep putting names into the best fighters list. If you wish to argue, then write on Lady Shiva's page first. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Darkestknight (talk • contribs) 20:51, 6 April 2006

[edit] Valiant's Archer

I know they both owe a lot of their history to the old "Kung Fu" characters and that stereotype, but has anyone ever pointed out the great similarities between Connor and Archer (from Valiant's Archer and Armstrong)? They're very similar, and Archer predates Connor by several years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.185.100.8 (talk • contribs) 05:24, 25 June 2006

[edit] Fighters List

Nightwing has been stated on many occasions to be easily in the top ten martial artists in the DC universe, and almost as good as Batman. There is no way he shouldn't be on this list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Geage karlyn (talk • contribs) 17:49, 26 June 2006

um...i odnt know where you are getting your sources but most of these cases have been disputed and put to an end on the Shiva Talk page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Darkestknight (talk • contribs) 15:55, 28 June 2006

The entire list of martial artists is unnecessary and should be removed from the article. Not only is it unencyclopedic, it also generates continuous debate unrelated to the main character of the article. In general, direct power comparisons between specific characters should be avoided on Wiki.--Trademark123 17:14, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Current Status

Why has no-one yet updated this to the point that Connor Hawke is now a member of the Justice League? I'll do it if there's no specific reason why he shouldnt be added... Pr1983 02:06, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Uhm, he isn't. Roy Harper is on the League. Connor used to be. Kusonaga 12:59, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Aww hell... my bad... i was convinced it was connor, i got the two of em confused... Pr1983 23:13, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Controversy

Just a quick note I think that contoversy as the title of the section relation to Conner's ethnicity is wrong. The paragraph doesn't show any evidence of controversy although it is a controversial topic. The title of the section should be Ethnicity or something to that effect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.131.181.126 (talk • contribs) 00:50, 19 March 2007

[edit] Dispute about Connor's Powers and Abilities

Someone out there may want to research Connor Hawke's abilities further. I could have swore, but can't clearly prove, that Connor Hawke has some sort of metahuman muscle memory ability that is similar to Marvel Comics' character Taskmaster. In other words, when Connor sees a maneuver being performed one time, he can permanently commit it to his memory.

This may have been mentioned in earlier issues of the Green Arrow comic from before Mia Dearden became the second Speedy, or even in the previous JLA series prior to Infinite Crisis. --Hotredtiger316 10:04, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Nope. Hasn't been. Connor has trained for years, and there have been isntances where he's been shown to be able to match an opponent move for move, but this is a matter of studying many disciplines, not of a meta-human ability. Connor, as he has 'narrated' many times, is a guy with a bow and arrows, like his father. That's it. ThuranX 11:36, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Controversies regarding Connor's age and DCU timeline

There is a controversy regarding Connor's age and DCU timeline. According to current DCU timeline, Oliver Queen has acted as Green Arrow approximately 12-13 years. The back story of Connor tells that Queen entered the ashram "decades ago", after acting several years as GA (certainly after Roy Harper had turned into junkie-teen). Therefore Connor's age should be around 10, not around 20. I know the world of super heroes is not always a very logical one, but there's something deeply wrong about Connor's current history - unless I've failed to notice any new retcons (not to mention the stupid "ripples in reality" caused by Superboy Prime).Jillord 03:47, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Black Superhero?

Someone removed Connor from the lists of black and asian superheroes. If he is 1/4 black and 1/4 asian, shouldn't he be on these lists? I mean seriously, there are a lot of eurasians on the list of asian heroes, and a lot a mulattos on the list of black heroes, (as well as many black-hispanic, asian-black, white hispanic etc). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.44.76.218 (talk) 02:28, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
