Arsenal seems to a brash, outspoken, and emotional young man with an extremely short fuse that is driven by a singular emotion, Pride (note the capitalization of the P). He desperately desires to be seen as an equal to his mentor and constantly demands to be treated with the respect that he feels he has earned. He absolutely detests being called a sidekick to the point where he will snap at anyone who calls him one or patronizes him in any way. No one is safe from his verbal assault, not Batman, Aquaman or Green Arrow himself.

Despite his deeply rooted desire for respect, Roy has a hard time giving the same respect to anyone else and openly displays his impatience and frustration with those around him. It can only be assumed that his attitude and arrogance have contributed to the alienation he has received over the years. Attitude issues aside, Roy is a stalwart hero and a loyal friend. He will go to great lengths to protect a friend or to save an innocent, even if it places him in great personal jeopardy.

Titans, Team Arrow, Outlaws.

Roy Harper was adopted by Big Bow as a child and lived with him on Spokane Indian Reservation, learning how to shoot a bow and arrow from him. He often got into trouble with the police but, because it usually happened on the reservation, Big Bow was always able to get him out of trouble. One day, Roy stole from a liquor store off the reservation and got blackout drunk, waking up to find a bow in his hand and Big Bow dead. Not knowing his mentor had been killed by an aggressive police officer, Roy fled the reservation. 

Roy somehow made it to Seattle, where he lived in a mall by hacking the camera feeds. It was at this mall he picked the pocket of Oliver Queen, who, when he came to get the wallet back, was intrigued by the strange boy, later taking him on as his sidekick and dubbing him Speedy. While Speedy, Roy designed Green Arrow's elaborate trick arrows, much to the man's frustration. As Speedy, Roy joined the original Teen Titans (Robin, Wonder Girl, Aqualad, Kid Flash, and Omen) and worked with them for a while before having his memories of the team erased following an encounter with Mr. Twister.

Outraged by Roy's persistent party-boy behavior, Oliver angrily fired Roy as his sidekick. Roy left and took residence in an abandoned apartment building and, in his despair, became addicted to heroin. Oliver returned briefly in an attempt to reconcile, but was so disgusted with what his former charge had become, left again. After being dragged into an evil plot orchestrated by Count Vertigo, Roy was officially reunited with Oliver, who apologized for firing him. Oliver offered to give their partnership another shot and help Roy get clean, but Roy adamantly refused, vowing to strike out on his own.

Roy became a depressed alcoholic and death seeker following the death of the second Robin, who he briefly befriended beforehand. He attempted to commit a variation of suicide by fighting Killer Croc. Croc figured out what Roy was doing, stopped him, and gave him a pep talk, which Roy thanked him for. Soon after, Roy began a recovery program with Killer Croc as his sponsor. He would gain Lilith Clay as his counselor, not remembering their former bond as Titans.
