"I know what it's like to have heroes for parents. It sucks. Man, I used to ask my dad all the time why he even adopted me if he and my mom were never gonna be around. But you know what? When I got older, I realized... I was proud of them."

- Connor Hawke to Mia Smoak

Connor Hawke is the son of Ben Turner. In a possible future, he is the adopted son of John Diggle and Lyla Michaels, the adoptive brother of John Diggle, Jr. and an agent of Knightwatch.

Biography
While his father, Ben Turner was in Slabside Maximum Security Prison, Laurel Lance arranged for Connor to visit him.

Possible future
Some time in the future, Connor was adopted by John Diggle and Lyla Michaels. By 2040, he had formed an acquaintanceship with Mia Smoak. He clearly knew her well enough to know that she had gotten her copy of Emerald Archer: The Hood and the Rise of Vigilantism by stealing it. He then went with her to the old Arrowcave, commenting that the place seemed haunted. They were subsequently interrupted by William Clayton, Zoe Ramirez, Roy Harper and Dinah Drake, who they knocked out and tied up. Connor watched the latter two, who happened to recognize him, before he went to the other room. Being scolded by Mia for not watching his two, they suddenly jumped out, fighting Mia and Connor. Ultimately, Roy was able to knock Connor down, holding him at arrowpoint.

Possible future abilities
"I mean, the guy is a Knightwatch agent. He eats, sleeps, and breathes tactical operations."
