Arsenal - Origins

Arsenal - Origins is an animated web series that premiered on October 10, 2013, created by Alex Guy. It is set in the same universe as other series created by Alex Guy, featuring characters like Rick Grayson, Lyra Evans, and Ben Carone. The first season takes place in 2013, three years before the events of Zero.

Arsenal - Origins served as a sort of prequel series to Zero, initially revolving around the story of Colton O'Neil, a citizen of North City and an already established vigilante, "Arsenal". He is assisted by his sister Amanda O'Neil, his genius tech support Jared Wilcox, and Whitley Abbott, who simply watches over Colton. Season 2 introduces Hunter Bradley, a mysterious vigilante with excellent marksmanship, Lyra Evans, and Nick Wilson. In Season 3, Hunter assumes the mantle of "Arsenal" after Colton is killed in Season 2's second half, and Lyra becoming a member of the team, receiving super powers. Nick also becomes Hunter's sidekick "Zane"; and in Season 4, Hunter battles the first incarnation of the Legion.

The series was created originally to serve as a backstory to Hunter and to serve as a pilot for The Arsenals.
