Though that might seem like a pretty dramatic break from the character as we know him, there are many features of Connor’s character (or personality) that remain the same. He is a true believer – a Paladin of the highest order. So stoic and spiritual is this version of Connor that he refuses to use his powers to kill. He still makes use of a bow and channels his chi like another former Iron Fist, Wu Ao-Shi, to fire arrows of pure energy, but in the main Connor relies on his hand-to-hand skills to mete out justice – or, as he interprets his role as the Iron Fist, to maintain balance.[/indent] [b]| [color=9ACD32]Brief World Background[/color] |[/b] [indent]The world that this Connor Hawke calls home is one where DC and Marvel superheroes live side by side. In fact, they have lived side by side since time immemorial. Captain America led the Justice Society of America in the struggle against Nazism. Garfield Logan was among the first cohort of Charles Xavier’s School for the Gifted. Booster Gold was and is still widely considered one of the biggest doofuses to ever pull on a superhero costume. In this world, the Justice League of America, which once featured Connor’s father Oliver Queen, has given way to a new generation of superheroes – Connor included.[/indent] [b]| [color=9ACD32]Brief Character Background[/color] |[/b] [indent]Connor Hawke is the retired superhero Oliver Queen (now mayor of Star City) and Sandra Hawke. Their romance was characteristically short-lived. Upon learning that she was with child, Sandra Hawke decided against contacting Ollie – and instead chose to raise him on her own, where she knew he would be safe, and kept far from Queen’s superheroing escapades. And for a time, this was the case. Connor was a bright and able child. Moreover he showed none of the daring that Sandra feared he would inherit from Queen. When Connor was seven, Sandra took him to visit her parents in Korea. On the flight back, their flight came under heavy turbulence and flew wildly off course. The plane crashed into the Himalayas – leaving Connor as the only survivor. He was taken in by monks that took him to K’un L’un, where for years he honed his mind and body, eventually winning the honour of becoming its champion: the Iron Fist. Nine years have passed since that date. Connor’s path took him home to America, where he not only became a superhero, but learned that his father was none other than the famed Green Arrow. Connor has become a trusted, and integral, part of the superheroing community – juggling his duties as the Iron Fist, maintaining spiritual balance in the world at all costs, with his vigilantism. As it nears ten years since leaving K’un L’un, and the magical city’s gates are fated to open themselves, Connor finds himself transported not to his adopted home, but to another place altogether: and he, along with the other heroes that have been plucked from their worlds, is forced to take part in Mojo’s death matches – forcing Connor to confront his most deeply-held convictions at every turn.[/indent][/hider]
