Roy Harper as Speedy.
|
These are the facts, and I, as a major fan of Speedy, am here to give them to you.
Speedy's real name is Roy Harper.
Roy Harper was raised by Brave Bow, a Navajo medicine chief after his father, a forest ranger, died in a forest fire.
Under Brave Bow's tutelage, Roy became a remarkable archer, and, after Brave Bow's death, Roy was adopted by Oliver Queen, the Green Arrow, and became the Green Arrow's sidekick, "Speedy."
He was given the name after Green Arrow witnessed Roy's ability to string and fire a bow in a matter of seconds, which he did to stop a robbery. GA then yelled while he clapped him on the back, "Wayta go, Speedy!"
The whole block of people who were there to witness them then dubbed Roy as Speedy. For years and years the name stuck to him.
Speedy joined Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad and Wonder Girl in the newly-formed Teen Titans, a group originally formed from the various "teen sidekicks" active in DC comics at that time.
