My appearance evokes fearful cultural associations, I understand. That's why I choose to work in secret when my duties bring me to this world. I trust you'll learn to accept me soon enough.

— Abin Sur

Abin Sur was the Green Lantern of his home planet Ungara, and later protector of Earth.

History

Due to his devil-like appearance, Abin Sur kept his distance from Earth's inhabitants to keep from frightening them, and he preferred protecting the planet in secret.

During the The Multiversity, Green Lantern joined the Justice Incarnate. When the Supermen of the multiverse were being hunted by the Prophecy, the Justice League Incarnate met with Kal-El (New Earth) and Kal-L (Earth-30). Green Lantern and The League warned the Supermen of the incoming danger and aided them to find Kong Kenan, the Super-Man of China. The group returned to the House of Heroes, where Superman took the Ultima Thule to the Prophecy to enact his plan as bait, as well as creating a beacon where the other captured Supermen were taken. The House later received a signal from the Thule, and Red Racer mentions to the group that was their only vessel and building another one would take thousands of years; so he sacrificed himself to build a new one, shocking everyone, but luckily his plan worked and they managed to save the Supermen.
