"Now I've been wondering, how do you decide between the red hoodie and the one with the mask?"
Thea Queen to Roy Harper

A protective suit was worn by Roy Harper as the vigilante Arsenal, and was later repurposed by Thea Queen as Speedy, until she retired from vigilantism. It was later repurposed by Typhuss J. Kira as The Red Arrow, and later Red Arrow. The initial suit was designed and created by Lodai.

Overview[]

Original suit[]

Arsenal

The suit originally just consisted of Roy's favorite red hoodie and a mask, a quiver, a bow and arrows. But sometime after Slade Wilson was defeated and imprisoned on Lian Yu by Oliver Queen, John Diggle visited Lodai and requested he make another vigilante suit, similar to Oliver's, with a number of differences for Roy Harper. It is unknown what materials it is made from; with the exception of kevlar, it also seems to resemble the suits worn by his mentors, Oliver as the Arrow, and Sara Lance as the Canary.

After the suit was confiscated by the Starling City SCIS Department, Malcolm Merlyn managed to retrieve it. It was then given to Thea Queen to give to Roy, though Roy decided to give the suit to Thea before leaving once again.

Upgrades[]

Speedy

Thea modified and donned the suit to help stop the League of Assassins from releasing a lethal toxin. Afterwards, Oliver christened her as Starling City's newest protector and named her Speedy.

After the disbandment of Team Arrow, several minor upgrades were made to the Red Arrow suit. One upgrade in particular is a computer screen located on the left wrist. The computer seems to be connected to the Arrowcave computers, as it was able to retrieve GPS tracking signals from Overwatch and seems to be used by Red Arrow as a form of guidance while on the streets.

After the Dominators kidnapped Typhuss and Thea, the status of the suit remained unknown. However, after Typhuss and Thea escaped, they got themselves a new suit, of the same kind in the fabrication room of the Waverider.

After returning to Star City to stop the Ninth Circle Roy took back the mantle of Arsenal and with it the suit.

History[]

John Diggle requested that Lodai make vigilante suit for Roy Harper, that is similar to Oliver's; but with a number of differences.

In 2378, Lodai designed and created the Red Arrow suit to be utilized by Typhuss as The Red Arrow, and later Red Arrow.

Possible future[]

At some point Roy had self-exiled himself to Lian Yu; to atone for his uncontrolled killing of two men during a bloodlust episode. He had donned a new Arsenal suit in this time.

  • Scabbard: After Thea started using the suit, behind her quiver she put a scabbard, used to hold her sword.
  • Knife holster: During it's use by Roy, there was a knife holster on the back of his waist, as well as on his left hip. Once Thea took ownership of the suit, one of the knife holsters moved to her lower left leg, the other was removed.

  • Wrist computer: After the disbandment of Team Arrow, several minor upgrades were made to the Red Arrow suit. One upgrade, in particular, is a computer screen located on the left wrist. The computer seems to be connected to the Arrowcave computers, as it was able to retrieve GPS tracking signals from Overwatch and seems to be used by Red Arrow as a form of guidance while on the streets. It can also be used to access security camera footage, extend out a micro-cam from the wristband to see underneath doorways and be loaded with wireless data packages so that Overwatch can connect to databases that are off the grid.
  • Tether: Located underneath the quiver is a tether that can extend and hook onto other objects, which is useful when carrying cargo or others while in the air.
  • Kevlar sleeves: Typhuss added kevlar sleeves to prevent being cut or sliced on his arms.
