Powers: Mogo was a sentient planetary body, and as a Green Lantern, Mogo wielded a power ring fueled by willpower and capable of doing almost anything he could imagine as long as it was recharged by his emerald power battery once every 24 hours. Examples of its' powers include flight, phasing, creating giant objects formed of energy, and force fields.

History:

(Green Lantern Corps II #14-16, Green Lantern IV #22) - During the Sinestro Corps War Mogo was beset by the sentient planet Ranx, because the Sinestro Corps knew the GLC would not long survive without Mogo to direct power rings to worthy recipients and to mentally train new recruits. Killowog and the Lanterns under his command arrived and rallied behind Mogo, but Sinestro Corps drill sergeant Arkillo beat them back with his soldiers. Despite the GLC’s efforts Ranx ripped a hole in Mogo’s surface and sent in the Children of the White Lobe, the Sinestro Corps latest allies, so they could explode and destroy the power ring at Mogo’s core. Killowog sent corpsmen Yat, Kol, Stel and Chthatis off to Ranx to destroy the planet’s brain. At Green Man’s suggestion Mohgo concentrated his life energy into his core, creating an impenetrable shell and giving the Corps enough time to disable the Children. The Guardians of the Universe rewrote the Book of Oa, enabling lethal force to be used against the Sinestro Corps. Sodam Yat destroyed Ranx, and the Sinestro Corps fled from Mogo, knowing that he was unstoppable now that he was allowed to use his full power.
