Roy was injected with the Mirakuru, becoming a human weapon and gaining a variety of powers, including superhuman strength, durability, and an accelerated healing factor, though it came at a cost with a slow deterioration of his mental state.

Powers and Stats
Tier: 9-B | 9-B
Key: Base | Mirakuru
Name: Roy William Harper, Jr.
Origin: Arrowverse (CW)
Gender: Male
Classification: Human, Vigilante
Age: 29 during the Crisis of Infinite Earths (Born July 13, 1991)
Powers and Abilities:
Superhuman Physical Characteristics (Even before his tenure as Oliver Queen's protégé and a vigilante, Roy is in top physical condition. Due to his youth, Roy is faster than Oliver. After his training, Roy's reflexes became sharp enough for him to catch an arrow in midair), Acrobatics (Roy's former rough and criminal lifestyle forced him to learn free running to better escape his pursuers. He also uses his natural athletic and acrobatic skills to either escape from or fight off his opponents. Roy is proven to be more agile and nimble than Oliver due to his much longer experience of using these skills on the streets. Since re-joining Team Arrow, Roy's skills have seemingly improved to the point of mastery), Weapon Mastery (Roy is an adept archer, possibly coming second to only Green Arrow himself. He is also a master stickfighter, as well as a marksman), Martial Arts (Having grown up in the Glades, Roy has taught himself to fight back. He often employs acrobatics to catch opponents off-guard and even cause considerable damage to them. Roy was able to fight off two thugs at the same time, albeit not as efficiently as more seasoned combatants; such as Oliver, Malcolm Merlyn, and Sara Lance. After being trained by Oliver and becoming a vigilante, Roy developed an expertise in martial arts, incorporating escrima, capoeira, wing chun, judo, sambo, jeet kune do, and taekwondo into his preferred style), Stealth Mastery
Superhuman Physical Characteristics (With Mirakuru, Roy was granted enhanced speed, strength, durability, and stamina), Regeneration (Mid-Low) (Roy was able to quickly recover from wounds that would be deemed fatal for any normal human being. Bullets/stab wounds and high velocity impacts have no ill effects on Roy and would completely heal from a span of a few hours or less. However, like all Mirakuru-enhanced humans, Roy was not able to regenerate missing limbs/organs. Fatal wounds such as a bullet to the head could kill Roy and regular dosages of strong poisons like Tibetan pit viper venom could heavily sedate him), Enhanced Senses (It can be assumed that like Slade Wilson, the Mirakuru greatly enhanced Roy's senses, allowing him to see, hear, and smell far better than any normal human could)
Attack Potency: Wall level (Comparable to Green Arrow) | Wall level+ (Punched through a container that Green Arrow's explosive arrows could not penetrate)
Speed: Superhuman with Supersonic reactions (Can catch arrows in midair)
Lifting Strength: At least Class 1 | At least Class 5, likely Class 10 (Should be comparable to Cyrus Gold. Comparable to other Mirakaku soldiers, and one of them was able to lift a car)
Striking Strength: Wall level (Able to harm Green Arrow with his hits) | Wall level+ (Stronger than before. Is able to punch holes in metal containers which survived Green Arrows explosive arrows)
Durability: Wall level (Can survive hits from Green Arrow) | Wall level+ (Can survive the impact of his own blows)
Stamina: Peak Human
Range: Standard Melee Range, Several Meters or higher with his Bow
- Arsenal mask: Roy wears a dark red mask as his heroic alter-ego, Arsenal. It is made from a compressible micro-fabric and can effectively to conceal Roy's identity without any restrictions on his visual field.
- Arsenal suit: As Arsenal, Roy wears a protective suit designed by Lodai to hide his identity from his enemies when fighting crime. It is unknown what materials the suit is comprised of, with the exception of kevlar. After faking his death, Roy gave the suit to Thea Queen, claiming that red looked better on her. After returning to Star City to stop the Ninth Circle; Roy took back the suit.
- Quiver: Roy has a brown quiver to carry his arrows.
- Customized hunting arrows: Like Oliver, Roy uses customized arrows.
- Trick arrows: In the battle against Slade Wilson's army, Roy used trick arrows with Mirakuru cure heads. He also uses other trick arrows as Arsenal.
- Customized recurve bow: Roy was trained in archery by Oliver and uses a red bow in battle, both for shooting and close-combat.
- Escrima sticks: As his vigilante alter-ego, Arsenal, Roy carries two escrima sticks strapped to both his lower legs. He used them to fight Simon Lacroix and Digger Harkness.
- Flechettes: Roy received his first flechette after the Arrow rescued him from the Savior, which he kept as a reminder of the incident. He later painted the flechette red and used it as a way to contact the Arrow before discovering Oliver's identity and joining Team Arrow. As Arsenal, Roy carries multiple red flechettes strapped to his left thigh.
- Throwing knives: Roy has four throwing knives strapped around his right thigh.
- Combat knife: Roy carries a combat knife attached to the back of his belt.
Intelligence: Above Average. Roy is intelligent and an accomplished tactician; he was able to come up with a plan to exonerate Oliver of being the Arrow and later fake his own death. Roy is also an extremely capable scout, combined with his training; Oliver regularly sent him out alone to scout Star City to keep track of criminal activities. Roy was capable of even tracking Nyssa al Ghul, a high figure in the League of Assassins, without her knowing. Roy is also good at math, able to deduce alongside Felicity Smoak the next number needed in the decoding of Malcolm's box.
Weaknesses:
- Bloodlust: Since being revived by a Lazarus Pit, Roy was left with an insatiable bloodlust and the impulse only subsided for a month at a time if he gave in to it. The only way to permanently end it is to take out the one who killed him. Even after Nyssa gave Roy the Lotus elixir, the bloodlust urges still remained. Roy hypothesized that the Mirakuru serum's past presence in his system made it impossible for the Lotus to cure him.
