John Stewart (Absolute Universe)

Sign in to edit

John Stewart is an architect in Evergreen, Nevada and friend of Jo Mullein and Hal Jordan.

John lived in Evergreen, Nevada; the same small town he was born in. Evergreen had almost no local economy and was essentially just a waypoint on the road to California, all of John's architectural projects were in larger cities outside Evergreen. One day he was having lunch with his old friends Hal Jordan and Jo Mullein, who had recently moved back home from Coast City after her divorce. Suddenly a translucent green dome dropped around the town. A biker riding at full speed down the road smashed headlong into the dome and was instantly killed, his body splattering into blood and gore and his bike exploding. Hal ran over to help the guy but found he could not get through the dome, and John could not get a signal when he tried to call for an ambulance. They saw some more bikers approaching on the other side of the dome, but the men simply turned around when they got close, seemingly not noticing the force field or their dead friend. Jo looked up to the top of the dome and saw a starship in the shape of a giant green lantern hovering far up in the air with a huge four-armed alien floating in the centre of it.[1]

The alien beamed down to the surface and the entire town turned out to see what was happening. He announced that he was Abin Sur and that he existed at the "Green Level of Light", ordering the people of Evergreen to "be without fear". Sheriff Guy Gardner approached Abin Sur and said that he was the authority in Evergreen. Abin Sur summoned green energy in his hand and levelled it at Guy, saying that judgement would commence. Guy and his deputies Ron and Rita interpreted this as a threat and drew their weapons, while Abin Sur calmly told Guy that he did not exist in the "Spectrum of Light" and once again instructed him to be without fear. Jo was able to convince Guy not to escalate and the sheriffs stood down. Guy asked Abin Sur to tell them what he wanted, but Abin Sur obliterated Guy with a blast, declaring that he had been judged.

Guy's deputies opened fire on Abin Sur but he blocked their bullets with a force field, decapitated Rita with his bare hands and cut Ron's hand off. John and Jo rushed to stop the bleeding from he stump and save Ron's life; but Hal ran up, grabbed Rita's gun and pointed it at Abin Sur. Abin Sur showed no fear of this and told Hal that his judgment was in progress, even addressing Hal by name. John got in between them and told Hal to lower the gun, saying that Abin Sur would just kill him too if he tried to shoot him; and Hal reluctantly did so. Abin Sur told John to be without fear, also addressing him by name, and then flew back up to the Lantern. That night; John, Hal and Jo met up again. John said that they needed to remove Abin Sur from the equation and that he knew how to do it, pulling out Jo's abandoned wedding ring.[2]
