Connor Hawke was an operative of the World Army under the codename Red Arrow. He was sent with Atom and the Sandmen to stop Steppenwolf, but they had to deal with Green Lantern, Flash, and Doctor Fate who also launched an attack against Steppenwolf. Connor retreated along with the remaining World Army forces to the Arkham Base. The base was soon attacked by Brutaal (a clone of Superman), who was trying to finish off the World Army forces. Connor died in a later battle with the forces of Apokolips.
After Connor's death, Oliver Queen adopted the identity of Red Arrow.
