Green arrow's apprentice

Speedy is his teen-aged sidekick. The Green Arrow- an Archery expert as the name suggests and in effect a law-abiding Robin Hood- is a minor character in the Green lantern comic book. The name Speedy does not really suggest anything archery oriented, why not something like Kid Bowman, for example. there were three ranks or skill categories in the Camp Archery Association, from bottom to top Yeoman, Bowman, and Archer. they could have used Bowman as it is not too commonly used by the general public. Speedy- could refer to mercurial type character such as Kid Flash.
