Nascent Drama

It had been established in the past that each Green Lantern has his, her, or its own oath.
 
For example, Medphyl, the Green Lantern of the planet J586 (seen in Swamp Thing # 61, "All Flesh is Grass"), a planet where a sentient plant species lives, has the following oath:
 
In forest dark or glade beferned
No blade of grass shall go unturned
Let those who have the daylight spurned
Tread not where this green lamp has burned.
 
Other notable oaths include that of Jack T. Chance:
 
You who are wicked, evil and mean
I'm the nastiest creep you've ever seen!
Come one, come all, put up a fight
I'll pound your butts with Green Lantern's light!
Yowza.
 
and that of Rot Lop Fan, a Green Lantern whose species lacks sight, and thus has no concepts of brightness, darkness, day, night, color, or lanterns:
 
In loudest din or hush profound
My ears catch evil's slightest sound
Let those who toll out evil's knell
Beware my power, the F-Sharp Bell!
 
Since Green Lantern: Rebirth and the restart of the Green Lantern Corps, the only oath used has been the Brightest Day, Blackest Night version.
 
In Green Lantern 27, the Alpha Lanterns are revealed to have their own oath:
 
In Days of peace, in nights of war
Obey the Laws forever more
Misconduct must be answered for,
Swear us the chosen: The Alpha Corps!
 
In the animated TV series Duck Dodgers, Duck Dodgers temporarily becomes a Green Lantern after accidentally picking up Hal Jordan's laundry.
 
In the first part of the episode, he forgets the real quote and makes up his own version:
 
In blackest day or brightest night
Watermelon, cantaloupe, yadda yadda
Erm...superstitious and cowardly lot
With liberty and justice for all!
 
Doctor Spectrum - There are five versions of the character in Marvel Comics comicbooks, from both different alternate realities and from mainstream Marvel continuity. Some are :
 
The version of Dr. Spectrum that had the most development was a member of the Squadron Supreme.
 
Dr. Spectrum used to be an astronaut, adventurer and something of a playboy.
 
On one of his space missions, he saved the life of a benevolent alien of the Skrull race.
