Yeah, it's a pipe dream.
He undid the results of months of inactivity, no.
Can't.. think of any reason why they would.
He will feature in at least two episodes.
1983, technically.
Define 'won'. In Mastermen the Freedom Fighters were pretty much just ideologically motivated terrorists, attacking everyone and everything in a world that had more or less accepted National Socialism and where the purges were three generations ago. For example, they blew up Overgirl's memorial service and only Blitz prevented massive civilian casualties, then later they dropped a space station on Metropolis and killed everyone who lived there. In Freedom Fighters on the other hand they're portrayed as freeing an occupied America from Nazi oppression, and it's painfully clear that for some reason the Nazis never made any attempt at establishing a puppet government or indoctrinating the population. That series hasn't finished, but it's pretty clear that they're going to win.
Which brings me onto V for Vendetta. Something that annoys me about it is that while it's framed as a fight between fascism and anarchism, we don't actually get a solid ideological case for fascism at any point. Chancellor Susan starts making one, and gets to the end of a page before he starts masturbating over his computer. We never get enough information to know whether his assertion that rigid social controls were the only way for the country to survive the nuclear war was correct, and the book ends before we get a chance to see the negative results of V's actions. Like mass looting, starvation and warlordism.
Stop being lazy. Work it out yourself, if you can, or wait until the end of the story when the character says it.
What do you have against blue beetle and impulse?
