The Aliens set off a cobalt bomb at the same time our Earth tested a nuclear bomb, weakening the barrier between world. The Alien's cities were going to merge with the three Earth cities they tried to destroy, because two objects occupying the same time and space would be disastrous. They could not move their own cities because the cities were rigged to explode if tampered with, a failsafe against invasion. Green Lantern used his ring to completely separate the Alien's Earth from ours, preventing catastrophe.

(Justice League of America I #117) - The Equalizer infected Thanagar with microbes that made everyone average, with no one smarter, stronger or more capable than anyone else. Hawkman found he no longer had the power to be a law enforcement agent, and pursued the Equalizer, who was heading towards Earth, in his Thanagarian ship. Hawkman knew he’d need help, so he contacted Green Arrow and the JlofA, and they met him on Mars. The Equalizer’s microbes averaged out the JlofA’s powers, and let Hawkman share in some of them. He didn’t have time to explain his situation, and the JlofA were baffled and thought their loss of powers were an attack by their former ally. Hawkman managed to defeat them, and left them on Mars while he continued to chase the Equalizer. The League focused their reduced willpower on Green Lantern’s ring, allowing them to catch up to Hawkman, who was at a standstill with the Equalizer. After Hawkman explained the situation the League aided him, but the Equalizer countered any attack they mustered. They realized that he also equalized his emotions in response to theirs, so they focused their thoughts on hate to make him give a loving response. The Equalizer realized how much they despised him, so he cured the League of the microbes infecting them and either self-destructed or returned to his home galaxy. Hawkman realized he couldn’t return to Thanagar for fear of being reinfected until he found a cure, and asked for readmission to the League. The JlofA voted him back in, and he shed a single tear of gratitude.

(Justice League of America I #119) - The Adaptoids decided that the entire human race was viral, spreading too fast and destroying the planet Earth. They were no longer satisfied with forcing superheroes to leave Earth, they promised to exterminate the human race to save the planet, and broadcast their intentions on a TV transmission. Batman, Atom, Elongated Man and Green Arrow tried to defeat hem, but were bested and teleported back to the JlofA satellite alongside their fellow beaten Leaguers. Hawkman returned from Thanagar, along with Hawkgirl, and teleported the Adaptoids to their satellite. The League questioned his motivations, but his plan soon became clear. Hawkgirl’s Equalizer Disease gave the JlofA the edge over the aliens, enabling them to defeat the Adaptoids and imprison them on an abandoned planet halfway between Earth and Thanagar. Atom ran medical tests on the heroes and concluded that they were immune to the Equalizer Disease after their previous exposure, and Hawkgirl had been cured. Hawkman was glad to have his companion back on Earth, and vowed to work with her to find a way to cure his people.

Batman, Atom and Green Arrow tried to contact their teammates from the JlofA satellite after the case, but couldn’t find them. Their teammates had been transported to Rann by Kanjar Ro, who was manipulating Adam Strange and reviving old Rannian threats in order to destroy the League. When the Leaguers on Rann were seemingly disintegrated by the robot Borg, Adam Strange traveled to the JlofA satellite to gather the rest of the League to avenge their comrades and deal with the mastermind behind the attacks. Green Arrow was furious and tried to attack Adam, blaming him for any harm that might have befallen Black Canary. Before the League could form a plan of action they were alerted to a freak electric storm in Long Island, and left their satellite to respond, with Adam staying behind because Earth’s surface was poisonous to him. The storm turned out to be a Cloud Creature, another revamped threat from Rann, and it defeated the League. Kanjar confronted Adam Strange and explained his schemes, but Adam responded by stealing the energi-rod he’d used to recreate the Rannian menaces and zeta-beamed back to Rann. Sardath used the brain waves on file from Kanjar Ro’s time as a prisoner on Rann to allow Adam control over the energi-rod. Adam correctly reasoned that Kanjar’s ego demanded that he destroy the entire JlofA in one fell swoop, so the seemingly murdered Leaguers must have been in captivity on Rann. In an ice cave he found the five black spheres that Kanjar had turned the League into, and undid the transformation with the energi-rod. He found an additional black sphere, and it turned out to be Alanna. She told Adam that Kanjar kept her alive as insurance to have leverage against Adam if his plan failed. The JlofA returned to Earth and defeated the Cloud Creature. Without his energi-rod Kanjar was easy pickings, and Black Canary knocked him out with a karate chop. The League went to Rann with Adam and attended his wedding to Alanna.

The JlofA followed Elias, but he foiled them with a burst of energy, and managed to teleport away with League members Batman, Black Canaery and Elongated Man. Green Lantern told Superman that someone was mind-controlling him, forcing him to recharge his power ring and siphoning off the energy, and they deduced that the Anarchist was the culprit. The next time the Anarchist tried to make GL recharge, GL convinced Superman to knock him out with a punch. The JlofA tracked down the Anarchist, and he revealed that he was using Green Lantern’s powers and creating chaos so that he could restore the world order as Simon Elis and become a dictator. Without GL’s power to draw off, the Anarchist and his cronies were easy pickings for the League.

They disappeared in fear of him, and Batman used his contacts to lacate them and the family crypt in Malaya, off the coast of Java.

On the flight to Java Shiva asked Sensei if he had a parable to change Question's life in the way he'd done for GA and Batman, but he remained silent, and Question assumed he wasn't worth the effort.

Green Arrow stopped Lamb valley residents from destroying Elevast construction equipment, and told them this wan't the way to fight Elevast. He didn’t pursue them when they fled, and Jefferson Pierce asked Arrow to help his niece Joanna Pierce's legal battles against Elevast. Oliver Queen poured millions into Joanna's lawfirm to tie up Elevast in court, and announced to Elevast board members that they should back off or face years of legal battles. A monster murdered security guards at an Elevast construction site and the Lamb Valley residents were blamed. The police rounded up suspects, and Green Arrow and Connor watched over them, making sure excessive force wasn't used. Joanna kept Arrow updated on the legal battle, and they started flirting. Arrow knew that he shouldn't get involved because she was young, a friend's niece and things were starting to work out again with Black Canary. Arrow found the monsters that murdered the Elevast security guards, and with the help of Connor killed one, and took it to Connor's friend in the Star City morgue Dennis Porter. Arrow stopped by Joanna's apartment and they ended up spending the night together. Arrowed dropped in on Dennis, and found him dead at the hands of Drakon, who'd been hired by Elevast to cover up their connection to the monsters. Drakon defeated Green Arrow in combat. He refused to kill Arrow because he hadn't been paid to, but Arrow nicked him with an arrow, so he drove arrows through each of Arrow's hands. Arrow recovered and learned the monster was a Zimbabwe immigrant formerly employed by Elevast. Joanna offered to help research the immigrant, but Arrow made it clear he wanted her to keep her distance. He told her the night they spent was a mistake, and she was angry that he didn't make it clear he was already involved. Drakon lured three of the Elevast monsters into a building using drugged meat, and when they fell asleep he set the building on fire. Green Arrow rescued one of them and blinded Dreakon with a glue-arrow, but wasn't willing to stick around for another fight. Arrow rounded up more monsters with Superman's help. S.T.A.R. Labs learned the monsters were created by a tuberculosis inoculation that used gene splicing, created by Tepcorp. At home Arrow got the cold shoulder from Connor and Mia, who both disapproved of him cheating on Canary. Joanna learned Tepcorp was a subsidiary of Elevast, but when Arrow went to her home to get more info he found her hung to death, courtesy of Drakon. She'd e-mailed what she'd learned to Green Arrow, and Drakon sped to his home, where he found Connor Hawke and Mia Dearden. He badly injured both of them, but Connor set a gas fire to blow up the house and defeat Drakon, while taking away a copy of Joanna's e-mail. Arrow sent the information about Tepcorp to the media, exposing Elevast. Jefferson Pierce killed Martin N. Somers, C.E.O. of Elevast, in retaliation for Joanna's death, and Arrow felt he couldn't pass judgment on him.

Arrow visited the JLA watchtower and got the old Arrowcar remote from the trophy room, and learned the self-destruct mechanism was jammed. Superman fixed it for him, but Plas accidentally released a Starro spore from captivity. It took over Superman, but took enough time to boast of its abilities for Arrow to kill it with an arrow. Batman bought the Arrowcar for Arrow, and he had to defend it from Scavenger, who wanted it for his own. He took the Arrowcar for a ride with Mia, then blew it up and told Mia not to question his decision.

(Green Arrow III #34-39) - Canary saw Green Arrow taking his frustrations out on a group of muggers. She thought Connor and Mia's hospitalization at the hands of Drakon was the cause of his stress, and it partially was, but his affair with Joanna Pierce was what really had him stressed. They spent the night together, and Canary sensed Arrow was keeping something from her, but he kept quiet about Joanna and she didn't press it. In the need for release Arrow and Connor tracked down art thieves that had robbed the Grell Museum. The thieves’ cargo truck contained all the stolen items except a mystic Russian totem, all that was left in its case was a note from the Riddler, who'd taken it. Riddler committed a number of other distraction crimes, vandalizing an art restoration lab, hog-tying the Star City Rockets baseball team and filling the financial center Montrose Tower with dried prunes, so Arrow called Batman for advice on dealing with Riddler. While Mia was practicing combat techniques and the bow-and-arrow, Green Arrow told her he was sick of her passive-aggressive behavior and had to have a talk with her. He told her how much he regretted cheating on Canary, but wouldn't be telling her because it would only hurt her, and only serve to clear his conscience. Mia gave him a hug and they were once again on speaking terms. Riddler left a riddle announcing that he was going to detonate an atom bomb in Star City, and cut off all the exits to the city. He was holed up in the Tinder-Smith Garden arena, but had it so well booby-trapped even Green Arrow couldn't get inside. The power went out in the city, and all mechanical devices stopped functioning because Mr. Davis, the man who hired Riddler to steal the Russian artifacts, used them to cast a spell over Star City. Green Arrow took this opportunity to take down Riddler. Davis' spell also cut off Star City from the rest of the world with a mystic shield, and populating it with demons that killed anyone breaking any laws or acting out in any violent fashion. Green Arrow got Davis' name by beating a confession out of Riddler, and a little library research revealed that Davis' wife and children died in a carjacking, so he cast his spell to create his vision of a utopia. Arrow and Connor located Davis' mansion, but an army of demons surrounded it, and they knew they couldn't break in on their own. They recruited the toughest Star City police officers and gangsters and trained them, to use the bow-and-arrow. Mia demanded to be part of the raid on Davis' mansion, but Arrow told her he didn't need to be distracted by worry that she'd get herself killed. She didn't back down and attacked him, giving him such a good fight that he told her to get a mask and join him. Arrow's army battled the demons and he got the opportunity to enter Davis' mansion with Mia. Davis regretted what he did, and told them there was no way to break the spell except to end his life. The heroes had little time to decide on a course of action as more demons confronted them, so Mia shot Davis dead. She broke down in tears and embraced Arrow.

Arrow warned the JLA about Hal’s actions, and found the JLA caring for Guy Gardner, whose alien powers had overloaded. Most of the JLA went to find Hal, but they left Arrow aoard the Watchtower.

Mongul was growing a field of Black mercy flowers, which parasitized their hosts, leaving them catatonic while making them imagine they were living their finest dreams. After a raging battle Mongul managed to attach Black mercies to Arrow, who imagined he’d raised Connor Hawke to be Speedy, and Lantern, who imagined his father was still alive. Hal’s willpower shook off the Black Mercy, and they again engaged Mongul, who’d used the bioelectric energy given off by the Black mercy victims to power a teleporter that brought his sister Mongal to Earth. The heroes realized that Mogul and his sister wanted to kill each other over their father’s birthright, and they reactivated the star gate, sending both of them back to the Cygnus Star-System.

During the battle Key spirited away Dawn. Green Arrow watched his new JLA crumble before his eyes as Red Tornado and Supergirl went into space with Troia to fight in the Infinite Crisis, and Aquaman had to return to Atlantis to tend to Mera. Only Arrow and Canary were left to save Dawn. They tracked the Key to the Metropolis sewer system, but a Keyman held them off long enough for Key to flee with Dawn to Gotham. Manitou Raven’s spirit appeared and opened a mystic portal so Arrow and Canary could pursue the Key. Batman joined them in fighting the Key, but the villain’s activities had attracted Envy of the Seven Deadly Sins, who boosted his powers, letting him enter and attack the minds of thousands. Envy turned Green Arrow against Batman and they fought. Envy planned to keep Key from destroying humanity, but also wanted to use him as a conduit to the human consiousness so he could enjoy the seemy thoughts of others and turn brother against brother. Key didn’t like being a puppet and absorbed thousands of minds and forced their thoughts into Envy’s mind. This overloaded Envy, and he broke away from the Key and retreated. Batman wanted to take the Key back to Arkham, but he begged Manitou Dawn to save him. She knew his madness and powers would only grow in Arkham, so she sent him to the astral plane. Insulated from the material world and no longer afflicted by voiced the Key found peace within himself.

Arrow guessed that Dr. Light was behind the attack, and joined up with Black Lightning to finish off the villain. They used a GPS to track Dr. Light’s energy signature, hoping that by staying low-tech they’d surprise him. Black Lightning revealed that as Secretary of Education he’d gotten his hands on D.O.D. wiretaps of supervillains talking about the JLA lobotomizing Dr. Light.

Arrow knew Natas was testing him to see if he’d take another’s life. He sealed the grand-masters in a cave because they were willing to take lives if need be, and used all his skill and guile to defeat Natas’ assassins. Arrow reflected on his origins, and how his time on an island changed him from an entitled youth to someone who knew that survival was a battle. His outlook and skills had become outmoded, but he felt he’d been reforged on Marshall. The grand-masers had some government connections, and made sure the assassins were put into custody. Natas was proud that Arrow succeeded, and left him a steel sword as a reward, and a note reminding him that his hero Robin Hood was a swordsman as well as an archer. Arrow returned to Star City, but realizing the dirty nature of politics he wanted Mia and Connor to stay on the island, away from the dirt that could be slung at them.

(Justice League of America II #7) - Green Arrow made a Red Arrow costume for Arsenal when he was inducted into the Justice League, wanting to officially pass the torch to him, but he had Green Lantern give Arsenal his reward because he wanted Arsenal to feel like he'd really earned it himself. Green Arrow also knew he resisted his approval because he still blamed Arrow for not being there for him when he was hooked on heroin.

(Green Arrow III #60-62) - <one year later> Oliver Queen ran for mayor of Star City and won the election with Frederick Tuckman as his advisor. He promised to save the city, which still hadn’t recovered from the Amsterdam Disaster, named after the street where the first building blew. Queen promised to tear down “The Wall,” a bridge overpass officially built to aid reconstruction, but in reality segregating the most damaged area, which were also the poorest and crime ridden. Brick went from being a crimelord to a vigilante behind “The Wall,” and Queen approved of his efforts but war4ned him to stop executing criminals. Star City received no federal aid, but the Willowbeigh Project, a merger of a number of corporations led by Theodore Davis, CEO of Vicor International, funded rebuilding Star in exchange for the rights to construct hotels, casinos and office buildings. Queen didn’t want them owning Star City, and was ready to break ties with them. Davis contacted Deathstroke and put a hit on Queen. Queen gave a press conference, stating he had no political ambitions beyond mayor, he only wanted to restore the Star City he loved, and hoped his high profile would give Star attention from the rest of the country. To being in profits he legalized gay marriage, but anyone applying for a license had to cohabitate in Star for at least two weeks. Protesters tried to bomb “The Wall” down, and as Green Arrow he stopped them. He then helped them escape, so police commissioner Nudocerdo issued an arrest warrant for the newly returned hero. Tuckman asked Queen why he didn’t have his JLA pals tear it down, but before Queen could answer Deathstroke confronted him in his office. Queen knew he was coming; he even had a hand in arranging it because he wanted revenge. His office was booby-trapped with arrows and explosives, and as Green Arrow he lured the confused Deathstroke into a trap. He showed off his new training, fighting Deathstroke to a draw in a swordfight. When Deathstroke tried to flee he was met by the National Guard, who had been requested by Queen, and put under arrest.

(Green Arrow III #63-65) - Arrow didn’t like that Deathstroke surrendered, he was hoping he’d resist and get shot, and Deathstroke giving up probably meant he had an escape plan in mind. Bestial humans started ravaging The Glades behind The Wall, so Green Arrow lent a hand to Brick in dealing with them. They realized the bestial effect came from tainted morphine, and located the warehouse where the drugs were kept. In locating the warehouse Brick used excessive force, and Arrow criticized him, telling him he wasn’t a champion of the Glades, only looking after his own illegal interests. Brick responded that there was truth in that, but he'd stayed in Star City after the bombing, unlike Arrow, and had a right to look out for himself. As Arrow and Brick prepared to destroy the narcotics an army of the bestial addicts stormed the warehouse, but they were saved by the timely intervention of Speedy. Green Lantern arrived and rounded up the last of the junkies, sending them to S.T.A.R. Labs to detox. Lantern once again offered to tear down the wall, but Arrow told him the city wasn’t ready. Speedy didn’t understand the way he was operating, but Arrow refused to explain himself. Green Arrow uncovered the source of the drugs, Theodore Davis of the Willobeigh Project, thanks to his senior V.P. Mr. Lachley turning on him for moral reasons. Queen confronted Davis and promised to send him to state prison unless he did exactly as he was told.

(Green Lantern IV #10) - Ollie met with Hal and reprimanded him for breaking the Freedom of Powers Act that forbid American metahumans on foreign soil. Hal was surprised that Ollie had changed his liberal tune since becoming mayor of Star City, and told him Green Lanterns didn’t have borders. Ollie said he was just doing his job, and he was worried about his friend.

(Green Arrow III #69-72) - Arrow and Speedy disrupted a shipment of hi-tech weaponry that was supposed to be delivered to Brick before Mayor Queen officially opened the Berkley Gardens, a housing development ment to help displaced Star City residents. Queen’d blackmailed Theodore Davis into providing most of the funds, and tapped Bruce Wayne for the rest. Wayne appeared at the opening, but he’d also come for business reasons, Red Hood was in town, he was the one Brick was supposed to supply weapons to. Green Arrow sympathized with Batman for having his old sidekick become a villain, but Batman told him there was nothing personal about his conflict with Hood, that he was just another piece of dirt. Arrow didn’t buy Batman’s bravado. They got drop locations for the weaponry and split up. Speedy found a deserted building, but Batman and Arrow were ambushed by the villains. Red Hood took on Arrow, and when the battle led to a swordfight they were both thrilled at testing each others skills. Green Arrow seemed to win the contest, but Hood revealed that his attack was just a distraction so his thugs could kidnap Speedy. Batman tracked Speedy’s location to her own high school gym, while Arrow berated him because he’d forseen Hood going after Speedy. By the time the heroes arrived, Speedy had been released and the Hood had disappeared. He simply wanted to get into Speedy’s head and plants doubts in her about her mentor. Back in his office Mayor Queen watched a news story that revealed his financing of the vigilante Outsiders. The intel came to the media from Deathstroke, who paid his old mentor Natas to provide it.

(Green Arrow III #73-75) - Willoughbeigh pushed for a recall election with police commissioner Nudocerdo as opposition to Quen. Queen agreed to take a dive if Nudocerdo locked in funds that Ollie saw necessary to complete rebuilding Star and left Mia out of his smear campaign. Connor Hawke returned to Star City and voiced his disapproval of Ollie’s funding of the Outsiders, who he, as well as most of the American public, saw as terrorists. Ollie told him he didn’t regret anything except being unable to finish his work in Star City. Mia got word that Brick was making a play to become a major player in the Star City underworld, effectively ending his truce with Green Arrow. Arrow, Connor and Speedy went to find Brick’s lieutenants Monk, Breaker, Mastman and Pickand Roll, and Black Canary showed up to offer a hand. They captured everyone except Brick and his new right-hand man Merlyn. Arrow and Canary argued about whose fault it was that Brick got away, but their anger turned to passion and they spent the night together. Canary was impressed by the way Green Arrow remade himself, saving Star with politics instead of arrows, and funding the Outsiders so Arsenal could quit the team and join the Justice league of America. Arrow told her that Roy taking the mantle of Red Arrow made him more proud than anything else in life, and revealed that he’d been abstinent for a year waiting for her to find him again when he’d become a better man. The heroes got video footage of Brick entering a warehouse, but when they pursued it they found it was a ruse, Drakon and Deathstroke ambushed them in hopes of eliminating them. The villains had them dead to rights, but the Justice League of America arrived and saved the day, even though Drakon and Deathstroke were able to escape. Mayor Queen resigned, eliminating the need for a recall election, and making his right-hand man Frederick Tuckman, who convinced Nudocerda to make him head of city council, the new mayor. As a farewell gesture of unity Queen and Connor and Speedy shoot chemical arrows at the wall that separated the Glades from the rest of Star, bringing them to the ground. Later, Ollie changed to Green Arrow and proposed to Black Canary.

(Green Lantern IV #25) - The Sinestro Corps War raged on Earth, and while Green Arrow and an army of superheroes battled the Corps the Anti-Monitor prepared to unleash an anti-matter wave to destroy Earth.

GL Hal Jordan defeated Sinestro in personal combat, and the Sinestro Corps, lacking any leadership, fled Earth. The heroes rejoiced and began rebuilding the damage the Sinestro Corps did.
