Nobody in the universe loves being a Green Lantern more than Guy Gardner. With the Sinestro Corps now under the leadership of Soranik Natu, Guy’s inroads into a cautious but mutually respectful relationship with the wielders of fear has proven useful on many a campaign against greater evils. But through the bonds of battle Guy established with the decorated Sinestro Corps veteran Arkillo, Guy helped forge a lasting alliance with a universal force which had before then always stood diametrically opposed to the values of the Green Lantern Corps. And, to be fair, that was a big part of how Guy faced the challenge of a union with the Sinestro Corps. Guy Gardner has a reputation for resolving conflict head-on, with fists meeting faces. The point is a character is allowed to have faults and still be worth investigating! In fact, it’s those imperfections which often make them interesting to explore. Okay, Jessica Cruz is a perfect completely flawless angel, but we’re not talking about her right now. Simon Baz? For years, he carried A GUN everywhere, and he would fight you if you asked him about it. Kyle Rayner? Ditched the green the minute he found out there were other colors so he could catch them all. John Stewart? Oh, if you think Guy is cocky, John let a whole planet blow up because he didn’t feel like bringing backup. Hal Jordan? Massacred the whole Corps when he got a little gray in his hair. You’re just overlooking their imperfections. Not to take anybody else down, but who’s your fave Lantern then? We guarantee they are just as wack.
It’s Not Like the Other Lanterns are Perfect Sounds pretty darn willful to us! In fact, as Booster Gold once learned, Guy’s level of willpower may have been stronger than Hal Jordan’s himself, the so-called “greatest of all Green Lanterns.” It just so happened that Hal was closer to Abin Sur’s ship when it crashed on Earth. Even Guy’s biggest haters will admit that his definitive qualities include a boorish, hardheaded refusal to ever give up a single inch of ground on any issue, no matter how unreasonable. Last we checked, what was the number one requirement for flying with the Green Lantern Corps? Was it teamwork, thoughtfulness or inspiring leadership? Oh no, that’s right, it was WILL. At Warriors, you’re among the people who understand. Or whatever your super-problems happen to be. With locations on Earth and Oa, Guy always makes time to pour you a glass and lend an ear to your troubles about how your antimatter Universe doppelganger is hunting every version of you in the Multiverse.
Guy is the proprietor of “Warriors,” a Green Lantern-themed bar which caters to metahuman clientele, where protectors of the planet and the universe can kick up their feet and relax after a hard day of battling cosmic level threats. Guy Gardner isn’t just one of the greatest Green Lanterns, he’s also a galaxy-class host and successful small business owner. He Wants to Go Where Every Hero Knows Your Name “Ohhhh, the nebulous clouds ‘round Oa, such glorious, beautiful gas…!” How does one possibly pass the time while traversing through the inky void of space? How can one meet the impossible task of morale upkeep? Green Lantern Guy Gardner, at your service, with a song in his heart and a spring in his ring. Say you’re part of an elite task force of Earth’s greatest heroes on a multi-year mission to rescue abducted young metahumans from the forces of Darkseid. But the kids he mentored during his time on Earth were surely improved for his presence in their lives.
Sadly, at the start of the New 52, Guy discovered that his career as a Green Lantern put the children he held so dearly at risk from the Corps’ enemies and was forced to choose saving the universe over encouraging the minds of tomorrow. But he’s always been supportive of children, with a well-established background as both a social worker and a special needs educator. Just hear us out and maybe you’ll start to come around too.įor a Green Lantern, Guy Gardner can work pretty blue around his peers. But we promise that once you get to know him, you’ll learn to like him. So, a few of you may have raised your eyebrow when you heard he would be a part of the HBO Max Green Lantern series. Many consider Guy the least likeable member of the Green Lantern Corps-and there are a LOT of people in the Corps. Whether it’s in the Justice League or around the Green Lantern Corps, Guy Gardner has something of…a reputation.
