I Don't Think People Talk Enough About Roy Harper’s Origin Story. Maybe It’s Cause It Doesn’t Always

I don't think people talk enough about Roy Harper’s origin story. Maybe it’s cause it doesn’t always get handled in the best way but I would love to see the full effect of how growing up the way he did shaped him.

Cause we sure talk a lot about his abandonment issues but also his fear of not belonging?? The way other kids treated him as an outsider?? Brave Bow’s influence on Roy?? How much is his illness did he managed to hide? Do you think Roy panics when others show similar symptoms? Seeing more of the Navajo culture and how he views it in general.

I’m not American so I don’t know what the consensus is regarding this, cause Roy could be seen as cultural appropriation I guess, but unless they change their origin (which could be seen as erasure imo), I think I would love to see dc explore his childhood a bit more. And this is a difficult topic but I think it’s freaking great if handled with care.

Ok so, I’ve been getting into reading Green Arrow n Titans comics cuz most of my faves are there (Arsenal, Black Canary, Starfire, Raven, etc etc) BUT I was rereading the latest Green Arrow series and I noticed something

This scene is from the Rise of Arsenal series, where Roy has to deal with losing an arm and his daughter. BUT i’m like so sure that Cry for Justice was retconned away with the new 52 or rebirth, mostly cuz Roy just has his arm back and a newer backstory in both the new 52 and rebirth (ik for sure in rebirth but idk for sure in the new 52) so how does he get his arm back??? Again I am just getting into the comics but I genuinely dunno how he got his arm back (my theory was that it was infinite frontier where he came back from the dead but I thought it was because of his death in sanctuary where, again, HE HAD BOTH ARMS🗣️) Someone please help, cuz when I tried googling it all I got was the Young Justice TV show explanation ☹️

so they kept the Cry for Justice storyline intact and Roy still lost his arm and has an identical copy of an actual arm cuz that's when Lian died or did he just never lose his arm in the first place and Lian died in a totally unrelated explosion and i'm just missing something (also thank you for responding, i'm just genuinely curious)
