Thanks to the intervention of The Hood, he managed to escape from his daughter and was not seen again for some time.

Frank was captured by the Arrow and arrested by the police. He was brought to trial for his crimes, but this turned out to be a ruse to lure out his daughter Helena, so the police could apprehend her.
