When Alan Scott hears about this, he thanks Doiby personally as Green Lantern. Later, Alan overhears a man named Barton offer to buy Apex and begins to suspect that he may be the one after the plans. While Green Lantern handles Barton's attempts at sabotage, Doiby dresses in a Green Lantern costume to save Irene, who Barton has taken hostage, but receives a last minute helping hand from the real GL.
