While there, John discovered his unsettling future: he would become the father of Warhawk, and the mother would be none other than Shayera Hol. The trio chased him again where they met up with the last members of the Justice League: Batman II, Static and Warhawk. Chronos managed to get away again, but this time back to his own time where he warped it, resulting in the devastation of the Justice League of that time. When the time traveler Chronos came back in time to steal Batman's utility belt, John, Wonder Woman and Batman chased him back to the Old West where they assisted him and a group of cowboys against Tobias Manning. Things did not get any easier with Shayera back in Justice League. When Solomon Grundy had been put to rest by Shayera, John angrily informed reporters that Shayera would be allowed back in the League. To make things even more complicated for John, Shayera came out of hiding to stop Solomon Grundy after he had risen from the grave a second-time. While he attempted to make it seem as if he was over Shayera, other members on the Justice League noticed that this was not the case. However, John attempted to put himself back together and started seeing Justice League member Vixen. Despite this, John remained with the Justice League through its expansion - although he at one point appealed, unsuccessfully, to the Guardians for reassignment. Hawkgirl's apparent treachery, and apparent engagement to Thanagarian Commander Hro Talak, all but broke John's heart. This romantic attachment would be shattered by the Thanagarian Invasion. In particular, John grew closer to Hawkgirl although the two clashed at first, their shared military/police backgrounds provided common ground, and in time the two became romantically involved. John continued to serve with distinction in the Justice League, forming a strong bond with his comrades. The League was able to prove that John was innocent, and that the entire situation had been engineered by the Manhunters as part of a plot to exact revenge upon their former masters - the Guardians. The League followed, ready to stand up for their comrade despite John's insistence that he be held accountable for his actions. A detachment of Manhunters were sent to Earth to take John into custody, to answer charges of inadvertently destroying an inhabited world. John was the focal point of one of the League's earliest missions. In the aftermath of that crisis, John readily agreed to Superman's suggestion that the seven heroes band together as the Justice League. Not long after John's homecoming, he would answer the fateful summons to join six other heroes in opposing the Imperium invasion. Green Lantern was a founding member of the Justice League John Stewart was therefore sent to stand guard over Sector 2814, while Kyle was sent to Katma Tui for training. Abin Sur's designated successor, Kyle Rayner, would himself require training before being assigned a sector of his own. It was only several years later - following Abin Sur's demise at the hands of Sinestro - that John would return to his home sector. Early in his Corps career, John would train under the veteran Green Lantern Katma Tui.Īs Sector 2814 was already under the protection of Green Lantern Abin Sur, John was eventually reassigned to another space sector. After leaving the service, John Stewart was selected by the Guardians of the Universe to join the Green Lantern Corps. Relatively little is known of John's military service, save that he met and befriended Rex Mason during that time. John Stewart left home to enlist in the United States Marine Corps at a fairly young age. 4 #49, Green Lantern: Mosaic #18, and Justice League of America #110.John Stewart with the Green Lantern Corps GREEN LANTERN JOHN STEWART SERIESStewart starred in the Green Lantern series for a time and later his own series, Green Lantern: Mosaic, and was featured in other media adaptations including the beloved Justice League cartoon.įifty years following John Stewart's debut, this collection highlights the character's greatest moments over the decades-both space-faring and Earth-bound-from his first appearance in the legendary O'Neil/Adams Green Lantern run, to taking over from Hal Jordan as Earth's Green Lantern, and being rechristened as the first mortal Guardian of the Universe.
