Notes
- This story retells many events from Green Lanterns #18.
- It is shown that Volthoom caused the destruction of its home planet on Earth 15.
- However, despite having been previously implied in past issues, he doesn't cause the "death" of his universe as The Multiverse Guidebook previously revealed that Superboy-Prime is responsible for its destruction just before the Final Crisis, like in the Pre-Flashpoint continuity.
- Since Earth 15 should be in ruins as of the 31st Century[1] and it was previously implied that Volthoom originally traveled through time before jumping into the Multiverse,[2] he might also hail from a possible future of Earth 15 (from Hypertime) where civilization was somehow restored to the existence.
