Kyle Rayner was in New York after he saved the life of a construction worker, when he was chosen by the six different rings of the other Corps, soon after being attacked by Arkillo, Munk, Bleez and Fatality. Kyle unsuccessfully tries to explain that the rings were not stolen by him, but he is later saved by Saint Walker, and both travel to Oa seeking answers.

When Rayner arrives, he sees Ganthet has been stripped of his emotions, and the Guardians demand to know about the rings following him. When Kyle struggles to respond effectively, the Guardians move to restrain him for interrogation but all are shocked when every ring chooses Kyle as their respective user. They slip onto his fingers and, to the shock of the Guardians, Kyle becomes the Lantern for the entire emotional spectrum Though initially overpowering the Guardians, he is soon overwhelmed and all of the rings, save his original Green Lantern Ring and an Orange Power Ring, are destroyed.

The Guardians try to expel Kyle from the Green Lantern Corps and strip of his ring, but prove unsuccessful. Soon the Orange Lantern Ring reveals itself not to be a ring, but an Orange Lantern construct by the name of Glomulus. The Guardians' citadel is again breached, but this time by Saint Walker and the cadre of ring bearers who had previously ambushed Kyle (Bleez, Munk, Fatality and Arkillo). A quick fight ensues between the two factions, with the Guardians coming out on top. Having seen the intruders dealt with, the Guardians were ready to arrest all those that lay before them, at which point, Larfleeze and his entire corp of orange constructs (with the exception of Sayd, who's head he was riding on) burst through the ceiling wall, declaring that they were all his. With Larfleeze's help they manage to escape the Guardians and Sayd said that a force from beyond tried to pull Larfleeze's Orange Power Ring.

Rise of the Third Army
Following the events of the Larfleeze-Invictus War and The Fall of The Blue Lanterns, Kyle is now preparing to fight the Guardians of the Universe. His first color of choice to master is the Red Lantern of Rage. Kyle is physically and verbally tormented by Atrocitus in a cemetery with Carol Ferris watching from the sidelines. Atrocitus is trying to anger Kyle through sheer force and humiliation but senses no angry spark in him. Once thrown through the headstone of his former girlfriend Alexandra DeWitt, he starts to have flashbacks of their happy times until her horrific murder at the hands of Major Force. Atrocitus berates Kyle further while Kyle replies he only feels sadness at the site of his former lovers grave. Carol on the other hand tries to tell Atrocitus that this isn't the way to inspire rage. Atrocitus threatens Carol not get involved in his methods. Atrocitus then takes Kyle with him and says when they return Kyle will "be a new man." Atrocitus takes Kyle to the Middle East where a small village is being massacred by a rebel faction. Atrocitus forces Kyle to watch families be slaughtered over and over while Kyle trys to not look. However, through enough killing and anger at Atrocitus's own inaction against the bloodshed, Kyle finally channels the blinding power of rage and transforms into a Red Lantern avatar. Using his now powers Kyle kills all of the violent rebels and then angrily tells Atrocitus that he is no better than the rebels to which Atrocitus replies "No child...I am WORSE!" Atrocitus leaves Kyle reminding him of their bargain against the Guardians. Kyle then uses the power of Hope to heal the wounded in the village. Kyle flies back to Carol and sees Carol using her Star Sapphire ring to fix Alex DeWitt's headstone. However, upon his return, Kyle seems cold and uncaring of the gesture by Carol and tells her that he's moving onto the next color by asking his ring to locate Arkillo. Carol tries to speak to Kyle wondering what Atrocitus did to him, however Kyle ignores her and flys off with Carol chasing after him.

Lights Out
After the events of the Rise of the Third Army, Kyle is approached by the group of Templar Guardians who seek his assistance in navigating the universe in search of a better understanding of its inhabitants and its customs. Untrusting, Kyle declines, until Hal manages to persuade him, and that doing so would be in the best interest of the Green Lantern Corps and the universe because of the fact that these new Guardians could be potential threats, as the old Guardians were.

The first outing that Kyle and the Guardians take is to the outer edge of the universe where an anomaly in the form of a giant floating mass is being studied by multiple spaceships and guarded by Exeter. The Guardians leave Kyle to deal with Exeter while they take a closer look at the anomaly. As Kyle wields the white light to protect himself, the anomaly explodes and releases Relic before the Guardians have a chance to warn him.

Now facing Relic and obviously out-powered, the Guardians call on the assistance of Carol Ferris, nonconsensually pulling her from Earth. As Kyle attempts to battle Relic, he is captured as Relic studies Kyle's memories. With the combined force of Carol Ferris and Exeter, Carol manages to talk Kyle out of his illusion as Relic flees with the collected information.

The group manage to track down Relic to the Blue Lantern Corps' home planet, where he attempts to drain their Central Power Battery. Despite the best efforts of the Blue Lanterns and Kyle's group, Relic manages to empty the battery's reservoir of hope. With an injured Saint Walker, the other Blue Lanterns sacrifice themselves to allow Walker and Kyle's group to escape via Kyle's Indigo teleportation powers.

Kyle warps the group to Oa and meets up with Hal, where they learn that the Green Lantern Central Power Battery is also acting out of sorts. Not long after, Relic arrives and encourages the Lanterns to stand down by surrendering their rings. When they decline and begin their attacks, no constructs seem to harm him, and he successfully drain the Power Battery. Without an active power battery, Oa begins self-destructing.

While John stays to fight as a distraction, Hal and Kyle lead the other Lanterns to safety. While observing Oa's destruction from a safe distance, Kyle senses the presence of most of the Entities- Ion, Adara, The Predator, Ophidian, The Butcher, Proselyte. They commandeer Kyle's body as a host and strike out to confront Relic. Hal and the other Lanterns try in vain to force the entities to leave Kyle's body, but not until the Guardians remind Kyle that he can pit the entities against each other long enough for him to take control does he contain them. From what Kyle learned from the Entities, he knows that he cannot stop Relic but instead should help him save the universe.

When Kyle does find Relic, the latter entraps Kyle in a blanket of devices that drain the energy Relic needs until Hal and Lanterns of every Lantern Corps manage to save him. The Lanterns distract Relic long enough for Kyle to pull Relic through the Source Wall that guards the edge of the universe. The two of them disappear until Relic is seen transforming into a part of the wall, a typical reaction to anyone who ventures too closely. Hal and the other corps think Kyle dead and transport to Mogo, the new home planet of the Green Lanterns. The Guardians, though, stay behind to study the wall when they see Kyle reemerge from the other side. Kyle tells the story of how the Entities sacrificed themselves to refill the reservoir that fuels the rings of the Lanterns. The Guardians decide that this is too important for others to know, and so they come to the decision that Kyle's survival must be kept a secret, as his journey has only just begun.
