History

The DC Universe heavily changed its continuity following the events of Flashpoint in 2011. While most characters saw massive changes to their origins and history, the Green Lantern mythos was widely exempted from these changes. Green Lantern-related characters should be assumed to have the same history as before Flashpoint unless and until stories contradict them.
Cherniss was one of several Green Lanterns captured and replaced by Durlans impersonating them to in order to sully the Corps' name. He was eventually rescued and returned to service with the Corps.[1]
