The Green Hooded Vigilante

A billionaire playboy from Starling City was on a crew ship with his father.  The ship gets violently wrecked and there is only one survivor, Oliver.  After floating for a number of days he reached an island.  A survivor was on the island who taught Oliver to protect and provide for himself on numerous occasions.  This island wasn't normal, Oliver couldn't be himself and survive here.  The island made him become something else...

 Oliver Jonas Queen is a 6'2" 195 pound built man with green eyes and blond hair.  He is the son of Robert and Moira Queen.  At night he's not Oliver, he becomes what the island made him a green hooded vigilante known as the Green Arrow.  He fights crime and is also sort of a hit man/ assassin.  Due to this book full of names his father gave him to kill so he can fix his fathers mistakes, and help the world at the same time.

Green Arrow is a superb archer with unbelievably precise accuracy and has all kinds of trick arrows (such as emp, explosive, regular, and knock out arrows).  He is also a master in martial arts for hand to hand combat when he doesn't have his bow; or he uses a sword because he is an expert swordsman.  His bow is custom made by himself and Queen Industries technology allowing the bow to do unthinkable things.  His suit consists of green leather with a hood that comes down over his eyes with green arm bands on his biceps.  There is also black war paint on his eyes to hide his identity.  He dresses like a cooler  Robin Hood. Remaining hidden is crucial to him.

Green Arrow is teamed with 2 different groups that help him throughout his quests.  The first group is Queen Industries, the company that was run by his father and passed down through to Oliver.  Queen Industries helps him by giving him information on people, and most importantly weapon and equipment upgrades and modifications.  The second group but the most important in my opinion is the group of superhero's who band together to fight crime known as the Justice League.  The founding members of the League consists of Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and Martian Manhunter.  This group is important to Oliver because they help him defeat many greater enemy's, and Oliver see's them as a second home, a family out of his own.

The Green Arrow is a really unique superhero, because he can't fly or use heat vision but, he uses his technology and intelligence to be that something else.  Something the whole world needs, a hero.

Time Capsule

PART 1
If I had to put items into a time capsule; I would put a picture of my family tree, a picture of new 2012 cars, a map of the world, newspaper articles of current events in 2012, and a copy of Christopher Nolan's movies that he directed.

The first item I would put into the time capsule would be a picture of my family.  I would put this in because it's important to me and it would be important to others if they would want to piece together my family tree.  Especially it would be important if something happened to Blackville with in 100 years and historians from the future wanted to research the city and the people who lived in it.

A picture of new 2012 cars would be important to add in the time capsule because it can show the evolution of cars and other automotive's.  This would just be one sign on how technology has improved from now to 100 years from now.  Technology, (if I'm correct) will advance like crazy within 100 years, by this time we should have hover cars and hopefully robots.. Even though I won't live that long to see them.

A map of the current world would be the most important object to put in the time capsule in my opinion.  There most likely will be another major world war within 100 years from now.  This map would show all the 7 current continents, and almost 200 some countries across the world and all the states/provinces.  100 years from now countries might conquer new lands, adapting new areas into there cultures, pushing the boundries of countries and continents.  My assumption is that Russia will take over Europe and have full control of it, so instead the continent will be known as Russia not Europe and there will be more countries within these continents.  If this doesn't happen I'll be really surprised.

News paper articles of current events in 2012 would be the second most important thing added into the time capsule.  This is important because it would let historians record events into the history books so that students can learn all about us, the way we lived and our history.

The last item I would put into the time capsule are copies of Christopher Nolan's movies that he directed just because they are the best movies of this century.  For example, his Batman movie trilogy consisting of  Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises.  These are some of my favorite movies and I think that people in 100 years should be able to watch them.  Just to see what they're missing.

PART 2
Dear Future Reader's,
I am from the year 2012, and I am also from Canada.  I live on the outskirts of a village named Blackville.  Here in Blackville today (in my time) there is hardly anything for kids to do, we really only have the park, the rocks and the skate park/rink, and really no one uses them.  So I hope to god that there is now something for kids of your day and age to do, because there is absolutely nothing here to do.  Anyway before I get off topic here's some things I think you should remember about events in my time.

A lot of things are happening in our time period, like we now have Windows 8 which should be a big step up from Windows 7.  We also killed Osama Bin Laden, who ever thought that would be done? Not me, I thought we'd never find him, but we did.  Our Prime Minister now is Stephen Harper, he's been Prime Minister for awhile now, I'm not to good with this politic stuff.  Even our cars are upgrading, I'm 95% sure we have a new type of hybrid car; which is also good saves the world and all that good stuff.  There's probably way more stuff I'm missing in this paragraph so that's why I left you some newspaper articles for ya, go ahead and take a look at them.

As you can see from my blog my name is Brody, and my family isn't that interesting.  Besides the fact that my grandmother is from England, and was in school the day of the bombing in the park in World War II.  That's pretty neat.  My fathers side of the family's pretty big, he has 3 brothers and one sister (his fourth brother died young).  My grandfather on my moms side of the family went to war in World War II, and when he returned he opened a store in the Rapids which was pretty popular, (the store was torn down about 5 years ago).  A matter of fact my grandmother on my dads side also owned a store, this one was very popular and was located down in the lower area of the Rapids, (where I live now).  Other than that I don't really have any other interesting or important facts or events that happened in my family.

From the year 2012,
Brody.
