Spectre suit

"Nice outfit. Very Sith."

—Ryan Choi on Oliver Queen in his Spectre suit^[src]

The Spectre suit is a protective suit worn by Oliver Queen after becoming the entity known as the Spectre.

History

After the multiverse was destroyed by antimatter during the Anti-Monitor Crisis, which included Oliver Queen's body and suit. Oliver who had been training with Jim Corrigan to become the Spectre created a new corporeal body and suit for himself. This new suit resembled his Green Arrow suit but with the added feature of his hood being connected to a green cloak that trails down.

Oliver would wear this suit when he came to rescue the Paragons from the Vanishing Point and when he faced off against Mobius during the Battle at the Dawn of Time. Oliver would die a second time in his resurrected life wearing the suit.^[1]

In 2023, Oliver again used the power of the Spectre to save the multiverse, this time from Ramsey Rosso who had infected it with his mutated blood cells. Because the multiverse was under attack, Oliver’s powers were dampened and his Spectre suit manifested itself on Earth-Prime as the latest Green Arrow suit when he returned to the living world with Barry Allen.^[2]
