After the destruction of Coast City by the alien conqueror Mongul and villainous Cyborg, Hal Jordan, maddened with grief was driven to rage against the seemingly indifferent Guardians of the Universe. Jordan's quest for vengeance pitted him against his former allies in the Green Lantern Corps, many of which he callously killed to reach his goal. To protect the Central Power Battery on Oa, the Guardians chose a living host, Ganthet, as the repository of their energies. Jordan destroyed the Central Power Battery, and apparently the inhabitants of Oa.
Ganthet fled to Earth because of its history of great heroes. Weakened and desperate he offered the ring to the first person he found and disappeared after a few cryptic words. Placing the ring on his hand, Kyle Rayner was transformed.
Initially, Rayner was uncertain in his use of the power ring, but with a vivid imagination and the help of his Justice League allies and longtime Green Lantern Alan Scott, he has followed in the footsteps of a proud and glorious history of a Green Lantern.
