Another bird dude and another bowman
Arsenal (Roy Harper)- Angel
This pairing revolve around the X-Men- Titans rule cited below.
Harper is fairly notorious as the character writer Denny O’Neil rendered as a junkie during the celebrated “relevant” Green Lantern/Green Arrow series. He’s been written as something of a pussyhound in the past ten years. Note that I don’t refer to him by his current moniker, “Red Arrow.” Why? Because I think it’s dumb.
Don’t have much to say about Angel…
Commonalities:
Just that their temperaments line up, and are both key to their respective teams/franchises.
Differences:
One has enormous wings and is thus a mutant; the other is a bowman and weapons specialist with abilities commensurate to his mentor.
Alternate histories:
AR: Wealthy and preternaturally gifted archer Roy Harper attends a small school that trains aspiring meta-human operatives. He drifts in and out of the Titans, once serving with the Outsiders. He is transformed for a time into a quasi-demon before reverting to his prevailing form.
AN: Mutant orphan Warren Worthington is adopted by Hawkeye, and the two combat crime before Worthington meets up with other similar young mutants; they form the X-Men. He becomes addicted to drugs, but has since been in recovery. He fathers a child with an assassin, becomes a government operative and then takes part in various iterations of the X-Men and the Defenders. He has recently joined the Avengers.
