Powers: Green Lantern wielded a power ring fueled by his own willpower and capable of doing almost anything he could imagine.. Examples of its' powers include flight, phasing, creating giant objects formed of energy, and force fields. Unlike other GL rings, Kyle's was effective against anything colored yellow and did not need to be recharged by an emerald power battery every 24 hours. The ring was keyed to his genetic signature and could never be used by anyone else.

History: (Green Lantern III #150 (fb)) - Former C.I.A. agent Aaron Rayner and an Irish woman named Maureen had a child named Kyle Rayner. Aaron's old enemies from when he was a government agent nearly killed him and his wife and child, so he was forced to leave his family and never look back. Kyle's mother later told him Aaron walked out on them without ever revealing the full truth to her son.

(Green Lantern III #48) - Kyle took his girlfriend Alex DeWitt to the beach and they saw Green Lantern Hal Jordan flying into space, but mistook him for a falling star. Kyle wished they could escape their problems and where they lived.

(Green Lantern III #50, 51) - Alex broke up with Kyle because he was irresponsible, so he went to the Heretic Club for some drinks. Ganthet, the sole survivor of the Guardians of the Universe after Green Lantern Hal Jordan went rogue and killed the rest, appeared to Kyle and gave him the last remaining Green Lantern power ring, telling him he'd know what to do with it. Kyle put it on and was transformed into the last Green Lantern. He had to tell someone, so he told Alex, and she agreed to get back together with him and move to New York City with him. The next day she got a call to cover supervillain Ohm trashing Rodeo Drive, and Kyle thought it would be a good time to start his superhero career. His total lack of experience made the fight incredibly difficult for him but in the end he was victorious.

(Green Lantern III #52, 53) - Kyle and Alex went to the beach so Kyle could be undisturbed practicing the use of the power ring. Alex helped him along by suggesting he use his skills as a graphic artist to make power ring constructs. Mongul, mistaking Kyle for Green Lantern Hal Jordan, attacked him with the intent of killing Kyle. Superman arrived and helped Green Lantern defeat Mongul. Green Lantern was thrilled to have a team-up with Superman and defeat a major villain, and although Superman was wondering where Hal Jordan was he gave the new Green Lantern some encouraging words before he left.

(Green Lantern III #54, 55) - Kyle caught a news report about time anomalies caused by Zero Hour, and Alex encouraged him to act like a real hero and investigate. He encountered a city from the future and an earthquake from the past, and managed to save lives during the chaos. He returned home eager to tell Alex about his heroic exploits, only to discover her murdered by Major Force, who was after his ring. Kyle saw red and fought Force, but during the battle his power ring ran out of energy. Force had a green shard on his person that landed in the alleyway where Kyle got his ring from Ganthet. The shard turned into a power battery in the presence of the power ring, and with his powers renewed Kyle beat Force. The battle alerted local authorities, and Force revealed he was working for the federal government, and Kyle fled home. Green Lantern Alan Scott was waiting for him at his home, and told him the history of the Green Lantern Corps and the recent events that led Hal Jordan to destroy the Corps and Guardians. Kyle wanted to get rid of the power ring because he blamed it for Alex's death, but Alan told Kyle that when the time came to take Hal down he would be needed.

(Green Lantern III #0) - When the universe was recreated Waverider created a rift to reenter reality and Parallax tagged along and brought Kyle with him. Parralax then brought Kyle to Oa and tried to absorb the green energy of the planet itself. Kyle and Parallax fought, but Parallax moved Kyle with his plea that he could make everything in the universe right again by recreating it. Kyle handed over his ring to Parallax but immediately regretted it and after a brief fight took it back. Parallax created a power ring duplicate of Alex DeWitt and promised to restore her to life when he remade the universe, but Kyle stood firm. He knew the only way to deal with Parallax was to cut off the source of his power, so he overloaded Oa with emerald energy until it exploded. After the explosion Kyle found himself in deep space with Parallax nowhere in sight.

(Guy Gardner: Warrior #28, Green Lantern III #60) - Kyle went to settle the score with Major Force, and found him in a battle with Guy Gardner. The heroes were beating Force until he tossed a school bus from a bridge, forcing the Guy and Kyle to save the children and let him escape. They received a tip from rouge Quorum agent Honey that Force was at a Quorum safe house and went there to confront him. Force was backed up by Quorum and Militia, but they soon found themselves on the losing side. Force located the comatose Mace, the brother of Guy Gardner, and threatened to destroy his life support him if Kyle Rayner didn't hand his ring over to the Quorum. The heroes thought he was bluffing, but Force was not, and killed Mace. Kyle defeated Force and almost killed him to avenge Alex DeWitt, but couldn't bring himself to do it. Guy stepped in and stabbed Force with his hand, apparently killing him. Afterwards Kyle told Guy he was glad Force was dead, but agreed they had different philosophies about being a hero.

(Green Lantern III #63, 64) - Parallax came to Kyle Rayners apartment and asked for his power ring back, telling him no one could replace him as Green Lantern. Kyle refused, and although Ganthet didn't want Kyle to have the ring he definitely didn't want Parallax to have it back so he teleported away to get help. After a long fight Parallax defeated Kyle and reclaimed the ring, but then Ganthet appeared with former JLAers Aquaman, Flash III, Green Arrow, Hawkman and Martian Manhunter. Parallax defeated the heroes, but a powerless Kyle attacked him with a lead pipe. He told Parallax he knew he couldn't win, but he'd go down fighting. Parallax realized he couldn't return to being Green Lantern and returned the ring to Kyle. Ganthet then merged with Parallax and they flew off.

(Green Lantern III #71) - Kyle decided to seek advice from more experienced heroes, and his first stop was Gotham where he tried to help Batman apprehend the Checquered Gang. Kyle ended up getting in Batman's way, and Batman told him they operated on different levels and he had no time to hold Kyle's hand as he learned to be a hero. Sentinel approached Kyle and they restrained Harlequin and Sentinel merged the soulless Harlequin with the body of Sentinel's wife Molly and gave her back her soul.

(Green Lantern III #72) - Kyle traveled to Fawcett City to meet Captain Marvel, but got distracted by the Egyptian Wing of the Fawcett Museum and spent time sketching the artifacts. When Professor Tolemy took a mask from the exhibit and found himself possessed by Seti, Captain Marvel appeared to deal with him. Kyle teamed with Marvel, but while Kyle was intent on a bang-up fight Marvel kept insisting they talk to Seti. The fight went against the heroes, but Marvel convinced Tolemy to free himself from Seti's command, then imprisoned Seti back in his mask. Kyle was impressed with Marvel saving the day without throwing a punch, and continued on his quest to meet and learn from other heroes.

(Green Lantern III #73) - Kyle went to Gateway City to learn something about the superhero trade from Wonder Woman. She enlisted him to help her capture two Khunds and a Sychian that tried to steal a warp prototype from Dyna Tech. She'd fought the aliens before, and they were hiding, so to draw them out Wonder Woman and Kyle staged a public battle during which Kyle pretended to put her out of commission. The ruse worked and Wonder Woman and Kyle defeated the aliens, but the Sychian destroyed the warp prototype before being defeated. Wonder Woman told Kyle her lesson was that when there was no option but combat one must embrace it, the prototype was only destroyed because Kyle was holding back when fighting the Sychian female. Kyle was done with his hero quest and deciding where to go next when he ran into Donna Troy.

(Aztek: The Ultimate Man #1) - GL was called to Vanity City where Major Force was on the loose. The police told him Force had been reported dead, and they assumed he was somehow resurrected. GL was shocked that he'd never heard reports of his enemy's death. The city's new hero Aztek was mistakenly thought to be Force's ally, so GL confronted him. Aztek had no time for a fight based on a misunderstanding, so he stole GL's power ring and asked him to be friends. GL trusted him, and Aztek said he was trying to rescue a girl named Mindy Falconer who was being held by the city's crimebosses. They found that Mindy was not only free, but partnered up with former hired goon Synth, who'd disguised himself as Major Force, and they were meeting with Vanity's crimebosses negotiating a takeover. Aztek defeated Synth, and told Mindy she should be ashamed of herself. Synth tried to shoot Aztek, but the battle had run past midnight, and every other day he became mentally deficient, so he forgot who he was aiming at and killed Mindy. Aztek was disappointed that she died on his watch, but GL told him not to be so hard on himself. GL didn't know how to process the idea of his enemy being dead, and he secretly wished he could have been the one to kill Force.

(Final Night #1-4, Aquaman V #26) - Superman organized a summit of superheroes, including Lantern, to listen to an alien named Dusk. She'd seen the Sun-Eater snuff out the sun of countless planets, and she was there to warn the heroes that the Sun-Eater was headed towards Earth. Lantern and a team of heroes used their powers to create a smaller second Sun. It drew the Sun-Eaters' attention, and it absorbed it, but was still after Earth's real sun. After the Eater engulfed the sun Lex Luthor sent Green Lantern Kyle Rayner into space to plant a probe in the sun that would give more data about the Sun-Eater and what it was doing to the sun. Lantern mysteriously vanished, meeting Parallax and trying to convince him to save Earth. Parallax relented, sacrificing his life to absorb the Sun-Eater and reignite the sun.

(Green Lantern III #81) -Kyle built a cathedral for Hal in Coast City and held a memorial service for him that was attended by the superhero community. Kyle spoke at the service, saying that although he never really knew Hal he knew what carrying on his legacy meant. He then made a power ring statue of Hal as a reminder of what he meant to Coast City.

(DCU Holiday Bash #1) - Kyle stopped an oil tanker leak in New York Harbor. Hi ring was mostly drained, but he didn’t bother to recharge it, because his evening plan were to tag along with his neighbors Nathan and Rabbi Beccah for a Hanukkah service. Hate-monger had desecrated their temple, and atole the vessel of the eternal flame, so Kyle tracked down the perpetrators. His ring was completely drained, but somehow it suddenly recharged and he bashed the neo-nazis. He then attended Beccah’s service, which was about the power of faith to triumph over all.

(Hitman #10-12) - Mr. Truman was the head of a CIA agency dedicated to controlling metahumans. He offered Hitman a position with the agency to eliminate superheroes that upset the status quo, but Hitman turned him down. Truman had agent McAllister contact Green Lantern, charming him and convincing him Hitman whad accepted a contract on him and had to be taken care of. Green Lantern and Hitman fought, but when Hitman realized GL thought Hitman had accepted a hit on him he dropped his gun and promised GL he didn’t kill good guys. Hitman took him to Noonan’s to buy him a round of beer, introduce him to his friends, and explain the situation. He introduced GL to Sixpack, asking if he could put in a good word with the JLA for him. Sixpack didn’t believe Green Lantern was even in the JLA, saying they only took originals and he wasn’t Hal Jordan. Hitman convinced GL, who he didn’t think was too bright, that Truman had duped him, and GL reluctantly agreed to work with him to take Truman down. The entire bar decided GL was a bum when he told Hitman he couldn’t buy the next round because he didn’t keep his wallet in his spandex costume. Hitman and his ally Detective Tiegel made a call to Truman, arranging a meeting and insinuating he was ready to play ball. Before their meeting Mr. Feekl told Mr. Truman he thought Hitman was too unstable for agency work. Truman said anyone could e controlled with threats of force or rewards, reminding Feekl that he was dismissed for operational assignments because he was an alcoholic and psychotic. Truman saw something in him, and kept him in line by throwing him in a solitary cell when he displeased Truman or his bosses. Hitman made sure Green Lantern and Tiegel were ready to provide backup, with GL already rethinking his involvement. Tiegel put a wire on Hitman and sent him on his way. Hitman met Truman on a street corner outside the Hilton. Truman detailed his mission statement, that superhumans were the greatest threat he knew of to the stability of the U.S. government, and even though most of them were happy with small lives and small battles if they ever rose up they could put an end to the U.S. Truman made it clear he expected Hitman to be loyal and unquestioning, saying that if he decided superman should die Hitman would kill him without question. Hitman turned down Truman again, calling hi ma  small and scared little man. Truman ordered his agents who were at the ready to kill Hitman. Tiegel took out a sniper and GL used a power ruing spaceship to cow the rest of the CIA agents. Mr. Feekl went rogue, tired of Hitman making fun of his name, and chased him into a liquor store. They had a shootout and Hitman shot Feekl to pieces. GL was happy the case was behind him, but questioned whether justice had been served at all, and if Green Lantern’s light had a place in the darkness of Gotham. He continued pontificating, and the bored Hitman walked away. Hitman called Truman, making it clear he had recorded their conversation and given several copies to trusted friends who would leak it if anything ever happened to him. Truman agreed that they would stay out of each other's way.

(JLA #1-4) - Green Lantern and Wonder Woman were aboard the JLA Satellite when it was attacked by the Hyperclan. Despite Lantern’s best efforts to fight them the Hyperclan blew up the Satellite. The JLA convened, and after Batman and Superman gathered concrete proof that the Hyperclan were not the heroes they wanted the world to believe they were, the JLA planned a confrontation. Lantern was paired with Flash, his least favorite teammate, and they traveled to the Gobi Desert where the Hyperclan had set up a watchtower that beamed worldwide mind control rays. They were met by Zum, Armek and Zenturion of the Hyperclan, who, after two battles defeated the heroes and took them to the Hyperclan hq of Z’Onn Z’Orr and imprisoned them in the Flower of Wrath. The JLA escaped and defeated the Hyperclan, but they learned that the Hyperclan were White Martians, and they had summoned an invasion force towards Earth. Superman sent out a worldwide broadcast, telling the people of Earth that the Martians were on their way, and that their one weakness was fire. The JLA rounded up the invasion force, which had already been humbled by Earth’s populace, and Martian Manhunter hypnotized them into taking human form and becoming peaceful members of society. The JLA constructed their own Watchtower on the moon, designed by Green Lantern.

(Green Lantern III #83-85) - Kyle went to the waterfront to sketch, but ran into Ukranian gun-runners. He defeated them and destroyed their arsenal. Kyle went to a dance club to unwind, but was confronted by Fatality, who was out to kill all remaining Green Lanterns. After a brief battle she fled and Kyle warned John Stewart about her, but by the time they caught up with her she'd stolen Kyle's power battery. With his power running out he followed her off-planet and through a wormhole. He created a power ring spaceship and shot down her ship, and both crash-landed on a nearby planet. Kyle's ring ran out of juice just as he was attacked by a tentacled alien, and he drove it off using a sharpened bone. He then fought Fatality who was badly injured in the crash. She was ready to kill him, so he revealed that John Stewart was the one responsible for the destruction of Xanshi, and told her that killing him or John would never bring her people back. Fatality was unmoved, but they were both attacked by the tentacled alien. During the fight Fatality was dragged to her apparent death by the alien, and Kyle regained his battery and returned to Earth.

(Aztek: The Ultimate Man #10) - JLA Watchtower, Lantern gave Aztek an application test for joining the JLA, a mental program simulating a battle against Darkseid.

(JLA #5, JLA: Tomorrow Woman #1) - Green Lantern and the JLA held a membership drive, planning on creating a twelve-member permanent roster. They went through many applicants, but were most impressed by Green Arrow, Aztek and Tomorrow Woman. Tomorrow Woman joined the team, and the JLA spent the week battling IF (Implicate Field), a renegade weapon from the Lord of Time’s arsenal that used electromagnetic pulses to destroy everything in its’ path. The JLA had to shift their attention to the Miracle Babies, ten million children under the influence of the Sole Jurisdiction empire, acting as their militia. Tomorrow Woman was capable of removing the hatred from their minds and making them normal children, but she could only act on a small scale. The JLA agreed to link minds with her, ending the rage of all the Miracle Babies on Earth once and for all. Tomorrow Woman gave her life to deactivate IF, and the team learned that she was an android created by Professor Ivo and .O. Morrow to destroy the team, but had disobeyed her programming after forming a will of her own. The JLA swept down on the mad scientist duo’s headquarters and apprehended them.

(JLA #6, 7) - Martian Manhunter summoned Green Lantern and the JLA when he found Zauriel, an angel that had fallen to Earth. Neron and the Demons Three were watching the JLA’s movements, and when Flash tried to teleport from the JLA Watchtower to Earth they froze him inside the teleporter. While Superman tried to help him the Demons pulled the moon out of orbit towards Earth. The rest of the JLA assisted Zauriel against Heaven’s bull-host, who were intent on wiping him out. Asmodel, the leader of the host, arrived on Earth. After a titanic battle Flash, who’d escaped the teleporter, used his speed vibrations that could move matter across spacetime to send Asmodel and the Host back to Heaven. The JLA met aboard the Watchtower to induct Green Arrow, but they were attacked, and knocked unconscious by the Key.

 (JLA #8, 9) - Key hooked Green Lantern and the JLAers up to a machine and injected them with a neural virus that made each member dream of a replica reality, in hopes that they’d help him find the keys to creation in their dreams. He knew the JLA always won, and he was counting on it. When they escaped the dreams he made for them they’d generate enough psycho-electric energy to open a gateway to negative space. He planned to step through and become one with the center of the universe. Lantern dreamed of being Weaponer 500, a member of the Qwardians of the Galaxy, an anti-matter universe version of the Guardians. The JLA shook off their dreams and woke up, but before Key could enter negative space new JLA inductee Green Arrow knocked him cold with a boxing-glove arrow.

(Aztek: The Ultimate Man #10) - Amazo trapped the JLA in the Watchtower using an energy bubble created by his Green Lantern power. He told them he had business on Earth with his creator Ivo, and didn't want to be interrupted. GL Kyle refused to accept that Amazo's willpower was stronger than his ring, and hated that he was using power based on Hal's. Wonder Woman remembered Hal's power's weakness against yellow, and destroyed the sphere. The JLA traveled to Earth, where Aztek had kept Amazo away from Ivo. Aztek held his own against the villain, who surrendered with the arrival of the JLA. Aztek was inducted into the JLA as their newest member, having already won the good graces of GL, Batman, and Superman.

(JLA #10) - The JLA Revenge Squad, hard-light duplicates of the JLA, wrecked havoc in Star City. Kyle and the JLA responded and drove them off, but the Revenge Squad was deactivated and sent back to the Injustice Gang hq. The Gang was merely taking the new JLA’s measure before confronting them. Aztek was in the JLA Monitor Womb when he detected a massive amount of energy heading toward Earth, and Martian Manhunter chose to investigate it. He was devastated by the Genesis Wave and realized it was headed toward Earth.

(JLA #11-15) - The JLA tracked down the Injustice Gang, with Superman and Martian Manhunter traveling into space to find their satellite hq. The Gang them to a duplicate hq, and trapped them in a maze that was a manifestation of Joker’s mind. Circe then approached Green Arrow while he was dining with Kyle and tried to lure him away from the JLA. Metron warned Green Lantern, Flash and Aquaman that Lex Luthor had the Philosopher’s Stone, and that Darkseid was after it. He altered the JLA teleporter with a Mother Box so they could make a transtemporal voyage to find the Stone, which existed through all time and space, before Darkseid. They were separated, and on either another planet or in the future Kyle defeated a supervillain who had a duplicate of the Stone. He traveled to a utopian world created by his own power ring, a woprld of hypnotic flowers, and a dead world filled with hundreds of murdered heroes who also sought the Stone. He met Hourman III, who warned him that if the Gang defeated the JLA the Philosopher’s Stone would be destroyed and Darkseid would enslave Earth. He ended up on Wonderland, home of the Theocracy, and after reuniting with his fellow JLAers they used Glimmer’s hyperwheel to try and get them home. Unfortunately they ended up in a hypertimeline 15 years in the future where Darkseid already ruled Earth and ruined it. They occupied their own future bodies, and Kyle’s future self was one of Darkseid’s mindless swarmtroopers, but his ring and willpower ended Darkseid’s control over him. They joined up with Earth’s last remaining heroes as a new JLA they broke into one of Darkseid’s warships and stole Metron’s Moebius Chair so they could return to the past. Metron was a pawn of Darkseid that sent the JLAers on their chase so Darkseid’s future would be assured. As Orion destroyed Darkseid’s world with the Genesis Box the JLAers returned to their own time. The JLA found the Gang’s satellite hq thanks to Arrow, who’d only pretended to betray the JLA, and Mirror Master, who was working for Batman, who’d paid him more than Lex. The JLA defeated the Gang and blew up their satellite. Joker was got ahold of the Philosopher’s Stone, and prepared to use it on the JLA, but Martian Manhunter temporarily turned him sane. Lex convinced Joker to use the Stone to undo the deaths the JLA Revenge Squad caused in Star City, ensuring that Lex couldn’t be charged with any crime. The JLA gave the Stone to the real Metron for safekeeping. Aztek and Green Arrow quit the JLA, and Batman decided to devote more time to Gotham City. In the end the JLA decided to disband.

(Chase #2) - Peru; Lantern and the JLA were informed that the Construct, operating out of an Incan temple, was plotting a takeover of Earth’s computer networks. They went to Peru, defeated the Construct and destroyed his temple.

(JLA #16, 17) - Three months after the JLA disbanded the team was reorganized with a new lineup. They invited the press to the Watchtower to introduce the new team to the public, and had a “join the JLA for a day” contest that a man named Retro won. Retro was killed on his way to the Watchtower and replaced by Prometheus. Prometheus set fire to the hydroponic systems that provided the Watchtower with air, and defeated Martian Manhunter, Steel, Huntress and Batman as Hippolyta tried to evacuate the press. Prometheus threatened to kill the press unless Superman committed suicide, but Catwoman, who’d been disguised as reporter Cat Grant, defeated him and he was forced to flee. Prometheus had methods of defeating every hero on Earth, but didn’t keep files on villains, so the newly reformed Catwoman was capable of besting him.

(JLA #18, 19) - Julian September unhinged the universe’s laws of probability with his engine of chance, briefly warping history so that everything worked in his favor. He became President and Lantern and the JLA saved him from seven supervillains that tried to kidnap him. Batman destroyed the engine, leading to Julian’s disappearance, and several JLA members blinked out of existence. The universe fought against the probability cancer Julian unleashed, with disastrous results associated with the number seven. Atom, the seventh hero to join the Justice League met with the JLA by coincidence, and Oracle unlocked September’s research notes. He split seven photons to create the Engine of Chance, so Atom shrunk the team to subatomic height and repaired the photons, undoing all the Engine’s effects.

 (JLA #20, 21) - Adam Strange teleported Lantern and the JLA to Rann using zeta-beams, told them they were now his slaves, and forced them to rebuild Rann under the supervision of En’Taran Slavemasters.

(Green Lantern III #100) - When Brainiac 5 sent Kyle back into the past he overshot and Kyle arrived 10 years before his own present time. He arrived on Oa and helped Hal Jordan defeat Sinestro, who tried to set Oa on a collision course with an asteroid.

(Green Lantern III #101, 102) - Kyle broke it to Hal that Coast City had been destroyed and in Kyle's time Hal went mad and became the villain Parallax.

Kyle brought Hal to Warriors to meet Sentinel, John Stewart and Guy Gardner, then let Hal go his own way again to go see Carol Ferris.

(Green Lantern III #103) - Kyle introduced Hal to the JLA, who were all pleased to have their old friend back, and welcomed him into the League. Kyle started having misgivings about Hal being in the JLA, feeling that the other members preferred Hal to him and having Hal on the team made him extraneous. His mood got worse when he minimized the damage of a bomb set off in an office building, but got backtalk from a police officer whose car was destroyed in the explosion. He told his roommate Jade his recent troubles, and she told him he could always lean on her as a friend. They shared a moment and a kiss. That night Batman visited Kyle and told him the JLA trusted him with their lives, and told him to come back to the JLA.

(Green Lantern III #105, 106) - Kyle learned that Parallax had time traveled to the present to retrieve his past self and return him to his own time. Kyle tried to keep Parallax from Hal, but Parallax took them both back in time to the moment before Coast City's destruction and tried to convince his past self that his quest to remake the universe was just. Hal refused to go back to his own time and fought Parallax but Kyle told them that they both had to return to their own times, because Hal had to become Parallax so Parallax could soon give up his life to reignite Earth's son. Parallax and Hal used their power rings in conjunction with Kyle's to erase their memories of this time jaunt and return themselves to their own times. Before Hal returned to the past he told Kyle he was very pleased with the job he was doing continuing the GL legacy and bestowed him with the gift of a self-replicating power ring.

Dream warned the JLA that the dreamers would wake to serve and nourish the Conqueror, and send Hippolyta, Green Lantern and Superman into the Dreaming to confront the Star Conqueror. Continent-sized Star Conquerors orbited Earth, preparing to put the world to sleep when their spores sent a signal saying it was safe.

Lantern returned to the JLA Watchtower, and the team got a report of a alien invasion in Phoenix, Arizona. The JLA showed up in Arizona but the invasion was a ruse. They were confronted by the Ultramarine Corps, who were under orders from General Wade Eiling to execute the JLA. The fight went badly for the JLA until they convinced the Ultramarines that Eiling had gone insane , and his orders no longer carried presidential approval.

Although they couldn't defeat him, they transported the General millions of miles into uninhabited deep space.

(JLA #27) - Green Lantern and Flash went to Ivy Town University and offered Atom a spot on the JLA, but he refused it, telling them the life of a full-time superhero went at too fast a pace. Professor Ivo placed an upgraded Amazo in the Florida Everglades to free him from Belle Reve prison. Amazo instantly duplicated the powers of any active JLA member and defeated the JLA, and when they called in the reserves, his power only increased as he duplicated the abilities of the reserves.

The JLA learned that Gamemnae was responsible for Aquaman’s condition, the enslavement of Aquaman’s Atlanteans, and the Ancient’s false belief that the JLA were evil. The JLA confronted the Ancients, but were slain in battle with them. Manitou Raven realized that Gamemnae was evil, not the JLA, and cast a spell to preserve them. Manitou cast a containment spell that sealed off Atlantis from the rest of the world, so that Gamemnae could not conquer it. Thousands of years passed, and in the present, when the raised Atlantis had been revealed to the world, Gamemnae broke free, drained Earth’s water supply, and battled the JLA that Batman assembled as a contingency plan while his team was stuck in ancient Atlantis. Manitou animated the bodies of the JLA to battle Gamemnae, and her spell to absorb others into her only affected the living she fully resurrected the JLA. With this part of the plan complete Zatanna and members of the new JLA went to 1,000 B.C. where they freed Aquaman, who merged with the ocean, and sank Gamemnae’s Atlantis. Zatanna cast a spell that returned Aquaman’s Atlantis to the present day. Gamemnae, weakened by this change in history, was easy prey for Manitou Raven, and he sacrificed himself to destroy her.

Green Arrow was on the trail of drug dealers working with the Circle, and the heroes fought when Arrow told Kyle there was only one real Green Lantern, his old friend Hal Jordan. They found the bodies of dealers that had failed the Circle. Arrow still refused to work with Kyle on the case, and soon thereafter Kyle took his frustration out on some street thugs. Jade told him to cool down, forget Arrow, and work the case on his own. Kyle talked to the Tratino crime family, who were avoiding the Black Circle. The Circle were making connections with the underworld to acquire vast amounts of chlorine and bleach, which some aliens used as narcotics, and killing anyone that displeased them.

Connor introduced him to Amon Sur, son of Abin Sur, who claimed to be tracking down the Black Circle as part of the Light Brigade. He informed Arrow and Kyle of the Black Circle's next visit to Earth. Arrow went to the pier where cleaning supplies were being delivered, but was ambushed by the Circle. Kyle went into space with Amon and met a Black Circle ship that blasted him unconscious.

A war erupted between the Circle and the mafia they'd treated so shabbily, with Kyle and Arrow containing the damage. One Syndicate member was about to reveal the identity of the Circle's leader, so Amon broke his neck, arousing suspicion in the heroes. The Black Circle armada approached Earth and teleported Amon aboard. Arrow and Kyle followed, only to be trapped in a containment field. Amon revealed himself as the Black Circle leader and stole Kyle's power ring, which he viewed as his rightful legacy He planned to torture the heroes to death, but Kyle remote-controlled his ring to turn against Amon, and when the Black Circle crew shot at the heroes they damaged their starship.

Ganthet gave Kyle the duty of recovering Hal’s body from the heart of the sun. Kyle brought the body aboard a starship and landed in New Mexico and came upon two trespassers in a bombing range. He tried to warn them about Parallax before passing out. When he woke Kilowog, who’d been possessed by Parallax, confronted him and tried to destroy Hal’s body before Ganthet intervened. Ganthet occupied Kilowog, and Kyle took Hal’s corpse to the JLA Watchtower. He explained the situation to Green Arrow, and then Sinestro appeared and told them it was he who’d free Parallax. Sinestro nearly had the heroes beat until Arrow charged the power ring and use it to send an arrow into Sinestro’s chest. The effort severely drained him, but it bough them the time they needed. Hal’s soul returned to his body, and as Green Lantern he stood up to Sinestro. They battled and the strain of the fight cracked Sinestro’s ring open, sending him into the Anti-Matter Universe. Hal and Kyle shook hands and returned to Earth, where they confronted Parallax, who’d taken over Ganthet’s body.

(Firestorm II #22, Infinite Crisis #5) - Green Lantern and an army of heroes battled Luther at the center of the universe.

(Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps Special #1) - Ion found a Sinestro Corps ring in Space Sector 424, and brought it back to Oa. Hal, Guy, John Stewart and Ion discussed it when the ring activated and kidnapped Ion to the antimatter universe. The Sinestro Corps overpowered Kyle and Sinestro showed him that Ion was an actual willpower entity that the Guardians had implanted inside of him. Sinestro extracted Ion and imprisoned the entity, and promised to make Kyle feel fear. He revealed that his Corps member Despotellis was the sickness that killed Kyle’s mother. Kyle swore he’d kill Sinestro, but Sinestro reminded him that the GL power rings would not allow their user to commit murder, and that any threat from a Lantern was an empty one. Sinetsro promised to target all the loved ones of the GLC, and Kyle finally felt fear. This allowed Sinestro to infect him with Parallax. Sinestro brought Parallax before the Sinestro Corps guardian, the Anti-Monitor, and Parallax expressed his interest in killing Hal Jordan and destroying Earth. 

(Green Lantern IV #21) - When Hal Jordan tried to recharge his ring using the Central Power Battery he found that the Sinestro Corps had booby trapped it. He was sent to Qward and confronted by Parallax / Kyle Rayner, who made Hal relive his father’s death, confronting the one fear he’d never faced. Parallax / Kyle told Hal that he’d always been cooler than him; he’d made the costume cool, the mantle cool. Hal knew Parallax was speaking as a parody of his friend, but Kyle prepared to engage him in battle.

(Green Lantern IV #22, 23) - Kyle / Parallax battered Hal, promising him he’d feel the same fear his father felt before he died. The Sinestro Corps joined the battle, threatening to overwhelm Hal. Parallax told him the GLC despised him and had abandoned him, but just then the Lost Lanterns appeared, with Ke’Haan telling Parallax that although they hated Hal they’d never abandon a fellow Lantern. Parallax attacked Lost Lantern Jack T. Chance, forcing him to confront the trauma of his abusive childhood, making him vulnerable to fear, and killing him. Kyle cried out within Parallax for freedom, disgusted by the murder, but Parallax kept him in check. Hal and the remaining Lost Lanterns retreated to Qward’s underground catacombs. Kyle / Parallax and the Sinestro Corps confronted Hal Jordan in the Qwardian catacombs, but he’d already managed to free Guy Gardner and John Stewart. Parallax wanted his own twisted version of Kyle’s desires to come true, he wanted to be the last Green lantern, to be special again, so he started maiming Guy Gardner. Just then the Lost Lanterns returned, having rescued Ion from the Anti-Monitor, saved Hal and company, and returned to the positive-matter universe. The Guardians foresaw the Blackest Night prophecy coming to pass with the rise of the Sinestro Corps, and did the unthinkable, rewriting the Book of Oa. The first of their ten new laws stated that the Corps power rings were authorized to use lethal force against the Sinestro Corps. Parallax and the Corps prepared to attack their next target, Earth. 

(Tales of the Sinestro Corps: Parallax #1) - Kyle paced inside the prison of his head, a prison he’d decided to have resemble his mother’s house, and he gazed at a painting he used to love as a child. His mother always told him she’d gotten it from a flea market, and it depicted a lost boy in the woods. He remembered how he and his mother used to make up stories about the lost boy, but right now he felt like that boy. He watched on helplessly as Parallax used his infected body to commit horrible deeds, and Parallax sent himself inside Kyle’s mind to reinforce his dominance over him. He saw that Kyle had made a series of portraits of his old flames, and Parallax taunted him because both Alex and Jade were dead, and he could have tried harder and saved them. They fought in Kyle’s mindscape, and Parallax dominated Kyle, convinced that he lacked the will to overcome his fear. Parallax promised the broken Kyle that after the Sinestro Corps prevailed against the GLC he’d find and kill everyone that Kyle cared about and make him watch. In a fit of rebellion Kyle used a pencil to stab Parallax in the eye. Parallax was stunned that he still had fight in in, but vowed that Kyle would stay under his control. After Parallax left Kyle's mind he turned over the painting and saw his mother’s signature, and realized she’d always meant it as a gift for him. Kyle was inspired to keep fighting against the parasite Parallax.

(Green Lantern IV #24) - Sinestro communicated with Hal via his power ring as the Sinestro Corps invaded Earth. He intended to conquer the planet, making it a symbol of the Sinestro Corp’s power and their ability to control any planet. He intended to makes saves of the Earthlings, and execute anyone who did not submit. He was also going to turn Coast City into a mass grave again, and informed Hal that the first victims would be Jim Jordan and his family. Hal flew to Jim’s side and saved his family from being murdered by Parallax. As they fought Hal contacted Guy and John Stewart, asking them to find a painting done by Kyle’s mother that always made him feel close to her, hoping the sight of it would help him fight off the Parallax infection. Hal’s power ring ran out of energy, and he was absorbed into Parallax’s body, but this gave him a chance to talk to Kyle face to face. Kyle blamed himself for his mother’s death at the hands of Sinestro Corps soldier Despotellis, but Hal promised to help him overcome his fear. Hal’s support, coupled with the sight of his mother’s painting helped Kyle reject the Parallax infection. Parallax was ready to try and possess him again when Ganthet and Sayd appeared and split his essence into four pieces, imprisoning each one in a GL lantern. Guy, John, and Hal were now responsible for containing Parallax’s essence, and after Kyle stepped down as torchbearer and accepted a GL ring he was given the fourth GL lantern. The Sinestro Corps invasion of Earth was momentarily being fended off by Earth’s superheroes, and Hal and his fellow GLs were ready to save the day. 

(Green Lantern IV #25) - Ganthet and Sayd showed Hal, Kyle, Stewart and Guy a vision of the Blackest Night prophecy, with Lantern Corps arising from the other colors of the emotional spectrum, and waging war against each other. They told the heroes they would be expected to prevent this from coming to pass, and left them to found their own Blue Lantern Corps. Hal and Kyle went to Coast City to protect it from Sinestro, while Stewart and Guy rejoined the battle in NYC. Sinestro and a number of his soldiers engaged Hal and Kyle, and Sinestro told them he’d already won the war. His actions made the Guardians rewrite the Book of Oa, and now that the GLC could use lethal force they would be feared. Sinestro always wanted the GLC to be a more totalitarian police force to bring order to the universe, and he’d succeeded. Sinestro and Hal’s rings were both drained of power, and they squared off in hand-to-hand combat. Hal won, and told Sinestro he was under arrest. In NYC the Anti-Monitor tapped into Earth’s energy and prepared to unleash an anti-matter wave to consume Earth. The GLC ruptured the heart of Anti-Monitor’s Warworld, the Sinestro Corps central power battery, and created a shield around Warworld and the Monitor. The ensuing blast nearly destroyed the Anti-Monitor, and he was finished off by Superman-Prime, who betrayed him for having destroyed his home, Earth-Prime. A Guardian sacrificed his life to shunt Prime elsewhere in the multiverse. With the Anti-Monitor destroyed, Sinestro vanquished, and having no way of recharging their rings the Sinestro Corps fled Earth to lick their wounds.

(Titans East Special #1, Titans II #1) - Cyborg recruited a new roster of young heroes and contacted his old friends to reform the Titans and train them. Green Lantern was with Troia when she said no, and it seemed like no one was interested in Cyborg’s idea. Troia and Green Lantern were exploring the multiverse when they were attacked by one of Trigon’s demons. Trigon and fate made sure that Troia would leave Green Lantern and be part of the reformed Titans.

(R.E.B.E.L.S. #23) - Vril, Blackfire, Sardath and the R.E.B.E.L.S. welcomed Honor Lantern John Stewart to Rann, and after a public handshake and media coverage they went behind closed doors for negotiations. Their talk quickly broke down, with Stewart demanding he let the GLC do their job, and Vril claiming his rhetoric hadn't influenced the Vegan people to turn against the GLC and demands that they vacate their sector. The Citadelian Liberation Front announced that they had a singularity module, and were going to implode the Vegan sun unless the GLC left the Vegan system. Stewart suspected that Vril orchestrated the affair, but Vril said he had no proof. Stewart sent GL's Amdos and Gorius to handle the situation, but after taking out the Gordanians they couldn't figure out how to defuse the module. Stewart said he had faith in them, and refused Vril's offer of L.E.G.I.O.N. assistance. Vril reminded Stewart that his arrogance destroyed the planet Xanshi, and Stewart's temper started to flare. Stewart had called in Ganthet, Soranik Natu, and Kyle Rayner to back up his rookie Lanterns, but Gorius figured out how to destabilize the bomb, cracking its shell and causing an explosion, but preventing it from opening a black hole. Ganthet promoted the rookies to full GL status, and Vril was forced to maintain peace with the Corps, at least in public.
