Nascent Drama

kyle%20rayner.jpg
 
Kyle Rayner was a struggling freelance artist when he was approached by the last Guardian of the Universe, Ganthet, to become a new Green Lantern with the last power ring.
 
Ganthet's reasons for choosing Rayner remained a secret for quite some time.
 
Despite not being cut from the same cloth of bravery and fearlessness as Hal Jordan — or perhaps because of that — Rayner proved to be popular with readers and his fellow characters.
 
Having continually proven himself on his own and with the JLA, he became known amongst the Oans as "The Torch Bearer".
 
He was responsible for the rebirth of the Guardians and the re-ignition of the Central Power Battery, essentially restoring all that Jordan had destroyed as Parallax.
 
Rayner later began operating as the Green Lantern known as Ion.
 
Kyle Rayner was chosen to wield the last ring because he knew fear, and Parallax had been released from the Central Power Battery.
 
Ganthet knew this and chose Kyle because his experiences dealing with fear enabled him to resist Parallax.
 
Because Parallax is fear, and yellow, none of the other Green Lanterns, including Hal, could harm Parallax and, therefore, came under his control.
 
Kyle taught them to feel and overcome fear so they could defeat Parallax and incarcerate him in the Central Power Battery once again.
 
Kyle became Ion, who is later revealed to be the manifestation of willpower in the same way Parallax is fear.
 
During the Sinestro Corps War between the Green Lantern Corps and the Sinestro Corps, Ion was imprisoned while Parallax possesses Kyle.
 
In Green Lantern #24 Parallax consumes Hal Jordan.
 
Hal Jordan entered into Kyle's prison, and with his help Kyle finally escaped Parallax.
 
Afterward, Ganthet and Sayd trapped Parallax in the Lanterns of the four Green Lanterns of Earth. Ganthet asked Kyle to give up his right to be Ion and become a Green Lantern again.
 
Kyle accepted, and Ganthet gave Kyle a power ring. Kyle was outfitted with a new costume including a mask that looks like the one from his first uniform.
