Rating The Super Hunks #17: Connor Hawke

Oliver Queen has been kidnapped, and now Black Canary has teamed up with the young, sexy Connor Hawke to find him. For my money, Dinah has traded up. Ollie scored a respectable 29 on the Hunk-o-metre. Let's see how his son does.

Connor Hawke, aka Green Arrow II

This is about as cool as you can look.

This is about as cool as you can look.

Costume/Appearance:

Connor's costume is nice Really nice. The forest green and the dark brown really looks nice together. His costume also kinda of makes him look like a Ninja Turtle.

Unlike his father's sleeveless, overly-macho Arrow get-up, Connor covers himself up, but comes off looking like the hunkier arrow.

They are watching a parade.

Little details like long tails on his domino mask reflect his half-Asian heritage.

Shredder doesn't stand a chance!

One big gold cuff on his bow-holding arm, and big gold bands around his legs really make the outfit look cool, without being too flashy. The brown hood looks great.

As far as appearance goes, Connor changes depending on who's drawing him. He's supposed to have at least partially-Asian, partially African features from his mother, and blonde hair from his father. When drawn and coloured correctly, he has a dark complexion which offsets the blonde hair. It's hot.

Straight as an arrow!

Straight as an arrow!

But even when he looks like an Aryan poster child, he's looking pretty good. And I appreciate his clean-cut, clean-shaven look.

Suddenly white!

Suddenly white!

The guy is foxy. And a good dresser. You can't fault him in this category at all.

10/10

Personality:

One thing Connor is not is a jerk. This is the nicest guy in the world. Too nice, really. He's...gentle.

"Have you ever played Settlers of Catan, Roy?"

"Have you ever played Settlers of Catan, Roy?"

He likes books and meditation and vegan food. He doesn't drink or party or have any vices.

All the beer in the world is not going to make Connor interested in those strippers.

He won't get drunk with you, but he will make you a big pancake breakfast the morning after.

They're probably vegan pancakes, though.

TO BE CONTINUED!

Since Mia brought it up, let's talk about that. Connor has little-to-no experience with women. He was raised in a remote monastery, devoid of any women whatsoever. More than that, he seems to have very little interest in women. It has people asking questions.

It's not a very interesting story, Ollie

So of course the gentle, tidy, super hot athletic guy who doesn't seem to be interested in girls has people thinking that maybe he just might be gay.

"Is it because Judd Winick is writing this comic? Is that it?"

"Is it because Judd Winick is writing this comic? Is that it?"

No, Connor. It's because you're too good to be true. Even Roy thinks so:

Jesus. Take it down a notch, Roy.

Jesus. Take it down a notch, Roy.

Hmmm...maybe it isn't Connor's sexuality we should be focusing on.

So Connor has a lot going for him, personality-wise. But the inability to cut loose and have a good time would get on my nerves.

Connor is not sure he should drink tea with caffeine in it.

8/10

Day-Job:

Connor is a Buddhist monk. Not really sexy, except for the naughtiness factor. Which is high.

8/10

Come to me, Connor!

Come to me, Connor!

Sexiness of Powers:

As with all members of the Arrow family, Connor has no super powers. But he does kick ass with a bow.

If this was the last thing I ever saw, I wouldn't complain.

If this was the last thing I ever saw, I wouldn't complain.

He doesn't need trick arrows, he just rocks the old-school bow and arrows. He's also a great fighter. I'll always give high marks to someone who kicks ass without powers.

Unpronounceable sound effects!

Unpronounceable sound effects!

9/10

Cons:

Religion + Veganism = someone I probably won't be able to talk to for very long.

He's watching "What Women Want."

He's watching "What Women Want."

Final Score: 34/40

Eat it, Ollie! Eat it hard! Your son is hotter than you! I don't care if they never find your kidnapped ass!

"A white t-shirt and...Roy, is that you?"

"A white t-shirt and...Roy, is that you?"

Call me, Connor!
