John Stewart may be one of hundreds ofGreen Lanterns, but there’s something special that helps him stand out from the pack. The Emerald Knight has been kidnapped by an Old God who wants to resume a reign of terror by possessing John.But Green Lantern’s willpowerand one extra trait are too much for a god to handle.
InGreen Lantern: War Journal #11by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Montos, John is in the Dark Star of the Fenn, where his physical form is beingaltered to become Olgrun’s vessel. However, the Green Lantern reveals that he was playing along with the Revenant Queen to see how the Dark Star operated. John escapes the Dark Star, knowing everything about Olgrun’s realm inside and out.Green Lantern uses his power to reconstruct the Necropolis that once stood in the Dark Star’s placeand seals off the cosmic terror from the rest of the universe.
Green Lantern’s Architectural Skills Helped Him Defeat a God
Thanks to absorbing a powerful cosmic phenomenon called the Godstorm, John Stewart became the most powerful Green Lantern the DC Universe had ever seen. Unfortunately, this drew the attention of the Radiant Dead, powerful, undead forces that served the ancient Old God Olgrun. Thankfully, John was joined by Green Lantern Shepherd, an officer from an alternate universe who served under his world’s Stewart, a legend known simply as the ‘Builder’. John doubted he was anywhere near the level of his counterpart, butGreen Lantern was pursued all the same by the Radiant Dead, who hoped to make him Olgrun’s vessel.
John’s become more powerful than any Green Lantern to ever exist. That said, it’s not just raw power that separates him from every other Power Ring user. Every Corps officer can bring anything they imagine to life with a bit of creativity and willpower, but John is one of the few Lanterns who approaches his creations from an architectural mindset. Stewart understands how things work and operate and if he doesn’t, he damn well sure takes the time to do so. That grit and determinationhelped John accomplish something here no other Green Lantern would be capable of.
John Stewart Has Finally Reached His Cosmic Potential as the Builder
Though nearly every Green Lantern is worthy of the Power Ring they wear, John doesn’t simply bring abstract visions to life. He understands the structure and design of everything he builds on a fundamental level. Pair that kind of mentality with the godlike power at his disposal and it’s no wonder why John was known as the Builder. Who among his Green Lantern peers could rebuild the Necropolis, a structure that was shattered several millennia ago? Only someone like John, with his architectural knowledge and power, could build the things that help him stand out from any otherGreen Lantern.
