Synopsis for "Future Shock: Part One"

The Green Lantern Corps is fleeing from the Legion of Super-Heroes. The Corps does not consist of heroes anymore - instead they represent some of the worst criminals the future has encountered in quite some time. The Green Lanterns use their powers to defeat members of the Legion and escape with the loot they were looking for. The Legion though has one Green Lantern in custody and hope get some information by interrogating him in jail. However, it is Kyle Rayner, yanked out of the past and into the 30th Century. It takes the GL from the past some time to plead his case, but in the end he convinces the Legion to trust him and gets taken to their HQ. Kyle not only finds out that in this time the Corps is just a bunch of thieves, but also that there are no existing records of him ever being a Green Lantern. There only exist recordings of Hal Jordan. Also, time travelling has been outlawed, so the Legion is not able to send Kyle back home.

With that in mind Kyle decides to help the Legion in taking down the GL Corps. He teams up with XS who is quite flattered by forming a kind of Flash/GL team-up. However, both heroes are overwhelmed by the Corps and are taken aboard their space station. The leader of the criminals takes the ring away from Kyle to use it for his own purposes, but it does not work and suddenly the ring disappears from his finger.

At another place, Ganthet puts that exact ring into the hands of the homeless woman Cary Wren who then becomes a new Green Lantern ...
