Warning : SPOILERS forJustice League : No Justice # 4&Green Arrow yearly # 2
Green Arrowdoesn’t have any powers , but he does have the means to destroy the entireJustice League . DC ’s most late issue miniseriesJustice conference : No Justiceended up change the condition quo in several ways . One of its most unexpected quality was becoming a fantastic Green Arrow story , leavingOliver Queen as the last hero on Earth . And a good one , too .
The finale toNo Justicebrings all plot lines to a close ( for now ) including Oliver ’s own mission , performing commendable in the absence of the superpowered Justice Leaguers . As a " reinforcement " for acting as Earth ’s last line of defence force , Oliver is given a arm to take out literal gods . If the grouping ever snuff it too far , the Green Arrow now possess a failsafe to neutralize the full Justice League .
The only problem is that Oliver could n’t be less concerned in this monolithic responsibility .

The monumental moment for Oliver occurs at the very tail ending ofJustice League : No Justice # 4 . In a serial publication of panels that tying all the various slack ends of the miniseries together , while fructify up the interesting time to come for several different Justice League teams , Martian Manhunter comes to Oliver alone .
J’onn tells Oliver how proud he is of his heroism , and offers the emerald archer not a seat on the League … but a deep boxful .
J’onn informs Oliver that they need someone honourable to preside over this boxful and keep it dependable . According to the Martian , the box is the most dangerous thing on the major planet and it can destroy the Justice League if the need should arise .
It ’s a momentous occasion for Green Arrow , that could change the course of his life-time . It is n’t given much context inNo Justice # 4 , butGreen Arrow Annual # 2shows the interchange in with child detail . The accent is rate on how the box will relate to theGreen Arrowseries go onward , as well as the DC Universe at large . The minute where J’onn gives Oliver the loge is dilate to show the whole breadth of their conversation , and just how mischievously how Oliverdoesn’twant to own this knock-down weapon .
Perhaps the most interesting wrinkle is when J’onn tells Oliver that they are the only two people who even get laid about the box ’s existence . Meaning that Oliver not only has the means to kill the integral Justice League , but apparently must also keep a huge secret to own it .
It ’s the secret of the boxful that might terminate up being a giving deal for Oliver than anything else . The Green Arrow has never been much of a team actor . Yet since the New 52 , DC Comics has really doubled down on the idea of Oliver as an outsider to the Justice League . Oliver has been denied League membership several clock time . Now his friendless status does give a dainty outsider ’s perspective to the League , if they go down the dark side .
However , keeping the box a arcanum also mean keeping the Black Canary , a member of the Justice League of America and the love of Oliver ’s life story , in the dark . The lie of deletion to Dinah is appears to get at Oliver more than having a kill switch for Superman , Wonder Woman and Batman .
It ’s probable that prevent the secret from Dinah will be the source of most of the tenseness in the mainGreen Arrowseries when it come to the corner . It ’s plain a matter of time before Black Canary or another friend of Oliver find out about it , but the secret itself will probably be the immediate radioactive dust . It may even threaten tobreak up Green Arrow and Canary ’s wonderful romantic reunification .
The mystery story and power of the box still lingers , since there ’s no way that DC Comics is introducing such a huge and powerful artefact into its population , and not planning to do anything with it . It might be class until the boxwood is used , but it almost certainly will be in the close future ( if it is n’t slip by someone else ) .
Not to cite that DC needs to confirm or at least research what precisely the box is , as Oliver and the proofreader are given almost no explanation for its being . The smart money is it being Pandora ’s Box from the New 52 . That box was destroyed during theTrinity Warevent , and has n’t been envision since … but nothing stay gone forever . If it is a repaired Pandora ’s Box that would explicate why no one but J’onn and Oliver know of its world .
Regardless of the box ’s origins , its existence just made Oliver Queen so much more than a hombre with a bow and pointer . Although Green Arrow fans have sleep with that for quite some time .
Justice League : No justness # 4andGreen Arrow Annual # 2are both useable now from DC Comics .
