Brief History:

Born in Baltimore Maryland, Guy Gardner led a tough life, with an alcoholic father, living in the shadow of his drug abusing star football playing brother. He never got the respect he wanted but he traveled and eventually graduated from college and worked as both a social worker and a physical education instructor for disabled children. It was on a field trip where he went into a coma trying to save a childs life when Green Lantern showed up. Little did Guy Gardner know that he was one of two men on the planet earth worthy of one of the most powerful weapons in the universe. The green lantern ring. He had both the strong will and fearlessness that made him worthy to be enlisted among the protectors of the galaxy, the Green Lanterns. The only thing is, however, Hal Jordan, the other qualified ringbearer, was closer to the crash site of the previous Green Lantern. Thus, Guy Gardner was delegated as backup, to be enlisted should anything ever happen to Hal Jordan. Since he was injured however, John Stewart was enlisted to replace Hal Jordan for a time. After Guy Gardner had healed from his coma due to his excellent physical condition, Hal Jordan eventually did find himself in need of Guy Gardner's assistance. Hal gave Guy his power battery and a Green Lantern ring to assist him while he talked to his superiors, the Guardians of the planet Oa about a problem with his ring. Unbenownst to Guy Gardner however, the problem was not with Hal Jordan's ring, but with the power battery that Guy was recharging his ring with. The Power Battery trapped him in a stasis zone, a phantom world where one can see the material world and not age, but also be unable to communicate with anyone on the outside. Thinking Guy Gardner dead, Hal Jordan proceeded to marry Guy's girlfriend Kari Limbo. She was psychic however, and in the end Guy Gardner was freed from the zone with the help of Superman. but Guy fell into a coma again. Guy Gardner was revived by renegade Guardians in the Crisis on Infinate Earths. He was given his own ring and power battery separate from all other Green Lanterns. Guy was not completely healed from his coma however. The Guardians had simply "fanned the flame of life" still in Guy Gardner. Guy Gardner was brain damaged and without the time of the coma to completely heal him, his main motivation was for power and revenge. Once Guy Gardner was kicked out of the Green Lantern corps when Hal Jordan wished his sector back, Guy managed to steal the villanous Sinestro's yellow ring (Sinestro being the only other renegade Green Lantern known to the GL corps at the time). Guy slowly healed and with the freedom the ring provided, returned to some level of normalcy. Eventually Guy Gardner lost the yellow ring when Hal Jordan stole that also in EMERALD FALLOUT, where Hal goes crazy and tries to later restart time in ZERO HOUR. Guy continued to be a superhero, gaining strange powers that allows him to turn himself into a living weapon (going from knives to the heaviest artillary). Guy now runs a bar in New York called Warriors, and calls himself Warrior. He usually shows up to help out the Justice League or whomever if he's needed.
