Poor Connor Hawke.
He used to be the Green Arrow. He was a member of the Justice League.
Ah, but current DC leadership is stuck worshiping the comics they grew up reading, so any change is verboten.
So the original Green Arrow came back to life; Speedy/Arsenal changed his moniker to Red Arrow and took the JLA spot (although now that James Robinson has continued his dismemberment fetish, that may change...).
Not only had Connor fallen behind even Speedy II in the Green Arrow pecking order; hell, thanks to an assassination and having his "DNA spliced with Plastic Man's" (don't ask), Connor can't even use a bow and arrow anymore. (Note to DC: incredible healing factor and pain threshhold and martial arts? C'mon, do you seriously think you can make Connor Hawke into Wolverine??)
Anyway, it's high time we had a reminder that Connor Hawke rocked. He's getting hassled by some rednecks at a local diner. How's he handle that?
Ah, but this is Feet of Fury!! What kicks you got, Hawke??
Three with one kick? Not bad. Any last action?
BAM!!!
Connor Hawke: victim of overly-nostalgic DC writers, but still a badass.
Spacebooger, fortunately, has not yet been replaced by the pre-Crisis version. But he'd better look out if Geoff Johns starts sniffin' around.

Man, the Green Arrow family (including Black Canary) has really gotten treated like crap since Ollie got back.
Why should they be different from anyone else in the DC Universe?
