John Stewart (New Earth-Two)

Early Years
John was the son of a middle class African American couple in Detroit. John spent most of his childhood facing racism from some of his neighbors, but often ignored it feeling their option of him didn't matter.

John would eventually become his high school's varsity quarter-back and would win them the champion with is leadership and skills.

After high school ended John decided to join the Marine Corps, where he rose to the rank of Captain before he retired from active duty and became and architect.

John would continue to be an architect in till he was 27 when in the middle of the night a ring appeared in his room and awoke him. Upon seeing the ring, John grabbed it out of the air believing it was just a dream, but upon grabbing it, the ring placed itself on his ring finger and changed his pajamas into a strange green costume. The ring the coated John in a weird green light and forced him to fly into space.

John would eventually stop flying when he arrived on a strange planet. When John arrived he was greeted by a group of Blue Men who told John that they were the Guardians of the Universe and that they needed John to be a Green Lantern for Earth. Recognizing the name John asks about the two Green Lanterns that are already on Earth. The Guardians then tell John that Hal Jordan had been on a mission for the Guardians that could not return to Earth in till it was complete and that the other Lantern, Guy Gardner had been corrupted by a Yellow Power Ring and his whereabouts were unknown to the Guardians. John confused on why the Guardians choose him, asks them why him. The Guardians the proceed to reveal that John is special, because he possess a stronger will then both Guy Gardner and Hal Jordan and that if he were to create and energy construct with his ring it would be solid and not hollow like other Lantern's constructs. The Guardians then ask John to be the Green Lantern of Earth and the entire sector that Earth is in. John not wanting to disappoint them agrees to it and begins training to use his power ring.

John finishes his training in a record one week and returns to Earth as its new Green Lantern. John spent the majority of his first year as Green Lantern of Sector 2814 protecting it from alien and internal threats.
