My dad is dead. I don't deserve his name. My name is Connor Hawke.

— Connor Hawke

Several decades into the future, John Diggle, Jr. (calling himself Connor Hawke) is the new Green Arrow.

History

John Diggle, Jr. was the son of John Diggle. After his father died in the Uprising led by Deathstroke, Diggle, Jr. abandoned his family name and took the alias of Connor Hawke. When the Green Arrow was seemingly killed by Deathstroke, Hawke took up the identity himself and did the best he could to combat the rampant crime in his city. When Rip Hunter and his team crash land in the possible future of 2046, Hawke considered them hostiles and tried taking them out. White Canary took a special interest in Hawke, who revealed that Oliver Queen was dead. Hawke takes her and Rip to the ruined Arrowcave, where Oliver reveals he is still alive albeit with a missing arm. Strife between Queen and Hawke was apparent, but after a gambit to take down Deathstroke with the help of Rip's team succeeded, Hawke was proud to work with Oliver again to try and retake the city.
