Why Did John Stewart Reject the Power Ring in LANTERNS?
Hal Jordan loses the ring as John Stewart briefly takes over and the Guardians search for a new candidate after a 51-minute midseason episode.
- On Sunday, Green Lantern Hal Jordan and John Stewart confronted Manhunter Zoe Macon in Rushville, Nebraska, culminating in Macon's death and the town's destruction.
- Investigators Jordan and Stewart spent the season searching for a Manhunter hiding in Rushville; Macon, secretly the alien threat, had integrated into the community using advanced technology to cultivate crops and cure disease.
- A motel fight over the power ring unleashed months of resentment between the partners, with Stewart ultimately seizing the artifact but rejecting the oath, leaving the sector without a Green Lantern.
- Guy Gardner , first introduced in Superman, now serves as the sector's Green Lantern after Stewart refused the oath and Jordan remains deceased in the 2026 timeline.
- The series now shifts focus to solving Jordan's murder, whose corpse appeared in the premiere, with three episodes remaining to explore Stewart's post-training life and the cosmic fear parasite Parallax.
