Olivia Marsdin

"*Many responsibilities have fallen to me since the president's passing at the beginning of this crisis. Sobering, sad responsibilities. This is not one of them. Today, it is my distinct honor to bestow upon you a small acknowledgement of the great debt that the world owes to you all. Although your brave efforts must remain a secret, know that meta-human or not, masked or not, each and every one of you is a hero.*"

**Olivia Marsdin** is a female Durlan and the president of the United States, and the former vice president, prior to the death of her predecessor.

## Biography

After the death of her predecessor, Vice President Olivia Marsdin was sworn in as President of the United States. After Earth was saved from the Dominators, Olivia thanked the coalition of heroes in a speech to a private government committee, expressing the world's great debt towards them.

Later, Kara Danvers informed Olivia (off-screen) of Agent Smith's attempt to murder Team Arrow, the Flash, and the Legends respectively and hand over the Flash in an attempt to prevent the Dominator invasion. Olivia subsequently demoted and reassigned Smith to Antarctica as punishment for conducting an unauthorized operation without her consent.

Sometime later, when attempting to transfer John Diggle to his possession from Iron Heights Prison, lieutenant general J.G. Walker promised District Attorney Adrian Chase that he would return with a signed warrant from the president. In response, Chase claimed that he couldn't wait, as he's always wanted her autograph.

In 2017, FBI agent Samanda Watson investigated Oliver Queen, the mayor of Star City; regarding if he is the vigilante known as Green Arrow. When Oliver was found guilty of being the Green Arrow in a trial rigged by Ricardo Diaz, Oliver was sent to Slabside Maximum Security Prison. Olivia did want to pardon Oliver, however, she was unable to without exposing his identity. Eventually, John Diggle managed to find proof that Oliver's trial and Olivia used that to have him released from prison. Olivia would later hold a press conference to pardon Team Arrow in order to avoid having the FBI take any action against them in the future. Much to Pollard's dismay, Oliver would use Olivia's example to have the Anti-Vigilante law disbanded.

## Personality

Olivia is proven to be progressive, positive, encouraging, modest, humble and polite, as well as extremely charismatic and optimistic. According to Kara Danvers; almost everything Olivia says is quotation material and will pass on to become history.[3]

Despite Olivia not being human herself, she has no prejudice towards humans, as she believes that someday most humans and aliens will be able to co-exist in peace.

Olivia is incredibly intelligent, calculating and patient, as she waited for an unknown number of years to initiate the Alien Amnesty Act, that allows aliens to come to Earth whenever they want to and gives them the same equal rights as humans, as seen when she uses Kara Danvers and J'onn J'onzz's heroic acts from defeating Non and Indigo as an excuse to initiate the alien amnesty act. She also supported J'onn when he was wrongfully accused of attempting to destroy the D.E.O. after his identity as the "Martian Manhunter" was revealed; due to alien prejudice, as Olivia knows full well that if the latter was trying to sabotage the D.E.O., he would've done it by now, as J'onn had years to destroy the organization.

Even during Olivia's time as the president of the United States; she is proven to be an extremely selfless and non-corrupt individual; as she cares more about the welfare of her country and morality, than she does about her approval ratings.
