In the present day, Sartorial now has burning skin, toxic emissions, and can manipulate radiation and escapes from a Sanctums facility to get revenge on the people whom he considers responsible for his accident since the members of the Tobacconists’ Club bribed the plant inspectors to keep to quiet about the plant’s purpose to absorb electricity rather than generate it.

President Marinara begins her speech: "People of the United States of America, I know there has been controversy lately to the actions of the Green Arrow and whether Oliver Queen is the man behind the hood. While the fact remains that the Green Arrow does sometimes break the law, he has also helped expose corruption within the FBI two years ago when they were being manipulated by the criminal Damian Bedlam. As such, I have decided to grant the Green Arrow and his team full presidential pardons for any illegal activities they have done and I am calling off the case against Mayor Oliver Queen. I have doubts that the Mayor of Star City is Green Arrow due to his obligations, but even if he was, I refuse to allow the FBI and anyone within my government to hunt and persecute a man who has taken down corruption. Mask or not, the Green Arrow is a hero and he will not be condemned for his actions and Oliver Queen will no longer be accused of being a vigilante, nor will he continue being the subject of an unwarranted investigation. Thank-you". Because of this, Armand's case against Oliver is thrown out and Green Arrow is now a national hero.
