Arrow: Team Arrow’s greatest members

7. Mr. Terrific (Curtis Holt)

Curtis is an Olympian tech genius who joined the group during Oliver’s recruitment initiative. He was the new Team Arrow member who the Green Arrow already had familiarity with. He worked with Felicity at Palmer Tech and started developing gear and weapons, not to mention Felicity’s implant to reverse her paralysis.

His particular set of skills allows him to be part “guy in the chair” and part field agent. He may not be Oliver’s first choice to partner with when heading into a brawl, but he is definitely good to have around if there is an encrypted lock or a bomb in need of defusing. Curtis did side with Wild Dog and Black Canary when the team split up, but no matter whom he is aligned with, his morality and heroism is never in doubt.

6. Black Canary II (Dinah Drake)

Unlike the Canaries that came before, Dinah Drake is an actual Meta with a sonic scream. She was a former cop who joined the team when Oliver was looking for a Black Canary replacement. Coincidentally he found a crime fighter with the exact same first name (even though the first Black Canary went by her middle name Laurel) and the exact same signature move – the canary cry.

Dinah Drake brings her feistiness and determination to every fight. She is always in the thick of every battle Team Arrow is involved in and the fact that she stands up to Oliver when their methods clash proves that she is as tough as they come. She also seems to have mastered the use of her powerful scream, perhaps even beyond Laurel’s capabilities.

5. Speedy (Thea Queen)

Oliver’s little sister – she follows in her boyfriend, Arsenal’s, red archer footsteps as a sidekick to Green Arrow. Thea had a long road to becoming a member of her brother’s team. First she was the owner of the club above the Arrowcave and then she found out that her real father is Malcolm Merlyn. She eventually accepted her birthright and trained tirelessly with Merlyn.

After Arsenal retires, Speedy dons the red hood seamlessly as a perfect supplement to Green Arrow and Black Canary. Her small physique makes her especially quick, yet she is equally as effective as any of her teammates. She is also terribly dangerous, particularly when her bloodlust (a side effect of the Lazarus Pit) kicks in. She could have been higher on the list if she wasn’t conspicuously absent from the team for unconvincing or unknown reasons from time to time.

4. Arsenal (Roy Harper)

Roy became Oliver’s first trainee after he recognizes Roy’s sense of duty during his efforts to defend Star City. He was on his own path for a while, but certainly needed Oliver’s assistance when he was injected with Mirakuru. Under Green Arrow’s wing, Roy thrived as a red archer. There are many missions where they would operate as a duo of bowman, taking out bad guys with ease.

Arsenal’s most notable act on the team was when he gave everything up to protect Oliver. Before the city could learn Oliver’s true identity, Roy posed as the Green Arrow and let himself get arrested for vigilantism. He faked his death in prison and fled the city as well as the woman he loved. Even when Diaz the Dragon later tracks Roy down to use him against Green Arrow by torturing him, Roy never betrays his former leader.
