DaRkEsT DaWn: In Blackest Night : Part 2

Earth Green Lanterns and the GL Corps

Hal Jordan

Jordan was the first human to be inducted into the Green Lantern Corps. Mentored by Sinestro, he quickly became the Greatest of the Green Lanterns. When Coast City was destroyed by Cyborg-Superman (Death and Return of Superman series), he became infected by the parasite fear entity Parallax.

Forced by Parallax to destroy the Green Lantern Corps, he absorbed the Central Battery and killed all but one of the Guardians of the Universe. By Absorbing the Central Battery's power he gained God-Like powers that surpass even Superman.

He later sacrificed himself to reignite the Sun (Final Night). His soul was bound to the Spectre, and was plagued by the Spectre’s cries for vengeance. While his body laid dormant in the sun protected by the Central Battery Energy he stole. His body and soul were reunited with the help of his fellow Earth Green Lanterns, Stewart, Rayner, and Gardner.

Jordan was pardoned of all crimes he committed while infected by Parallax. He has a very criticizing point of view when it comes to the Guardians of the Universe. He currently has a fling going on with the Queen of the Star Sapphires (Violet/Love Lanterns) Carol Ferris.

John Stewart

When Jordan had to devote more time to the formation of the Green Lantern Corps, Stewart was chosen to take over his duties in Space Sector 218. Born on the streets, Stewart always had a chip on his shoulder when it came to authority. Which is weird because he joined the Armed Forces.

His arrogance resulted in the destruction of an entire planet. During a battle he was injured and became crippled. Kyle Rayner as ION helped heal his wounds and regain the ability to walk.

He is the least of my favorite Green Lanterns. His dialogue reminds me of something Kanye West would say.

My favorite Quote

Sinestro Corps Member “Now you will Die!”

John Stewart “ I don’t have to do anything, but stay black.”

What does that even mean?!

Kyle Rayner

Rayner is the reason I started reading Green Lantern. After Hal Jordan destroyed the Central Battery, the sole surviving Guardian of the Universe, Ganthet, fled with the Last Green Lantern Ring. He found Kyle in the back of an alley puking his brains out.

“I guess you shall do.” Ganthet says after giving Kyle the ring and leaving without telling him what it is or how the ring works.

Kyle never had a Corps to teach him how to use the Ring. He learned everything himself.

Kyle is no stranger to loss. All the women in his life were murdered by villains, even his mother.

After Jordan sacrificed himself to reignite the Sun, Kyle embarrassed the Central Power Energy Jordan stole and became ION. With God-like powers he started righting wrongs both on Earth and the entire Universe (he could be in multiple places at the same time).

He gave up the power in order to resurrect the Guardians of the Universe and restored the power back into the Central Power Battery.

If not for his actions the Green Lantern Corps would never had been reformed. As such his contributions to the Corps earned him a position among the Honored Guard.

Guy Gardner

Gardner is the funniest of all the Green Lanterns. He is a frat boy from Michigan University (he has a MU sticker on his power battery). He was Jordan’s replacement during the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths.

The ultimate rebel, he holds nothing back when it comes to speaking his mind to the Guardians. He operates a Bar made for Green Lantern Vets on the Green Lantern homeworld OA.

Kilowog

Trainer of Green Lanterns, he was killed by Jordan when Jordan stole the Central Battery Power and was later resurrected by Kyle Rayner.
He tore off Arkillo's Ring Finger....what a bad ass!

You can find him in front of the City Hall building in Metropolis.
