Matt Morrison @senseistarman.com · 11/08/2026This led to Roy's new origin six months later in Adventure Comics #262 by Robert Bernstein & Lee Elias. Now, Roy was the son of a forest ranger, who was adopted by the Sioux Chief Brave Bow after Roy's father died a hero's death. (An avalanche originally, but later a forest fire.) 110
Matt Morrison @senseistarman.com · 11/08/2026This was changed again in later retellings. * Roy's father died in a forest fire instead of an avalanche * Post-Crisis, Brave Bow became a Navajo shaman * In DC Rebirth, Brave Bow became Big Bow - a Spokane elder In any case, Roy Harper being raised by a Native American has remained a constant. 010
