Ebenezer Gardner src

Ebenezer Gardner is a retired police officer from the Baltimore Police Department. Two of his three children followed in his footsteps; much to his disappointment, his middle child Guy did not.

Ebenezer was a police officer who struggled with alcoholism for most of his adult life; this caused him to become particularly violent and vicious especially to his family.

While his son Gerard and his daughter Gloria became police officers, Guy did not follow in their footsteps and instead became a member of the Green Lantern Corps, a decision that Ebenezer firmly condemned.

After losing all contact with his son, Ebenezer eventually realised that he had been a cruel man and sought help to treat his condition. He started attending AA meetings and was testing himself to come near his old bar to resist the temptation to drink. He was assaulted by Guy, now a Darkstar, who driven by his rage, meant to kill his father, but he was stopped by Arkillo.[1]

Forced with the prospect of having to kill Arkillo, Guy managed to reject the Darkstar Exo-Mantle and left with the promise of trying to mend their relationship.[2]


Weaknesses

  • Alcoholism (Formerly): Ebenezer was an alcoholic for much of his life and regularly abused his family, especially his son Guy. After many years he found the strength to kick the habit and has since then started to attend AA meetings.[1]
