These aspects of his character have evolved from the changes made to his origin over the years, and easily makes John out to be the one guy who always keeps his cool no matter the situation, and the one soldier who never backs away from a fight no matter the odds.Or – “It Takes A Real Man To Be A Superhero AND Host The Daily Show!”

Learning to become a crack shot marksman from his military training, as well as having the general mindset of a war hero, John easily and consistently slips into a leadership role, not only during the times when the Green Lantern Corp need his help in beating back the latest off-world attack, but also when the Justice League hits a roadblock that Batman or Superman can’t handle - an important role that immediately allows John to rise above his fellow Lanterns as a stronger version of what they could never be.Īnd while Hal Jordan might be the most spontaneous and outspoken Lantern in the Corp, and Guy Gardner the most overly confident and rough-around-the-edges one, it’s John Stewart that takes the cake as the most well rounded and authentic Lantern that never loses sight of what it takes to bring his fellow Lanterns home safely.

With two distinct origins, along with some overlap in between defining John Stewart’s character as being one of the most reliable, loyal and respected heroes in all of comics, it’s the changes to Stewart's original background that have made him an even stronger Green Lantern than ever before. Expectedly, and now with the added benefit of being an ex-Marine with the smarts and mettle to stand up to obstacles like this, John was granted a power ring, and with it, the next phase of his character’s journey began. In this new continuity, and eerily similar to his first origin story when he was an architect rebuilding Ferris Air before hero work took over his every waking moment, John was recruited after fending off an attack on Ferris by a Guardian-sent Manhunter to test his worth. But even with his restructured origin centered on his military background, John’s lifelong habit of questioning authority for all the right reasons eventually landed him in hot water with his superiors, leading him to be honorably discharged from the Marines, an event that led him directly into the path of the Guardians of Oa yet again.

After landing a contract to rebuild Ferris Air headquarters thanks to Hal Jordan’s input, John, with the help of Hal’s guidance, was able to balance his professional career and his obligation as a backup Green Lantern until the day he was promoted to full-time Lantern when Hal gave up his powers.Īfter years of being both a successful architect and even more successful Lantern (along with a handful of military related aspects of the character that were worked in over time), John’s origins were given a full overhaul in the wake of 2011’s Flashpoint, with The New 52 shifting gears to focus more solely on John’s rough childhood and personal struggles that eventually led him to join the Marines. Hailing from Detroit, Michigan, Stewart’s original background was rooted in the extremely precise and technical world of architecture, a career choice that had ramifications in the way he would create his own willpower-fueled ring constructs, with his attention to detail and meticulous planning becoming one of the many defining aspects of his character. Being the first African-American superhero to appear in a DC comic book, John Stewart, created by Dennis O’Neil and Neal Adams, immediately became a fan favorite, and as his ring-slinging and overall superhero-ing skills improved, proved himself to be a unique and worthy addition to the Green Lantern Corp. Debuting in 1971's Green Lantern #87, John Stewart was called upon by the Guardians of the Universe as a backup to then-primary Green Lantern Hal Jordan after Hal’s first backup Guy Gardner was sidelined by a serious injury sustained during a devastating earthquake.
