Nascent Drama

Abin Sur used his ring to seek out an individual who was "utterly honest and born without fear" to take his place as Green Lantern.
 
Jordan became a founding member of the Justice League of America and as of the mid-2000s is, along with John Stewart, one of the two active-duty Lanterns in Earth's sector of space.
 
Jordan was also a member of the Green Lantern Corps, which was modeled after the "Lensmen" from the science fiction novel series written by E.E. Smith.
 
The early 1980s miniseries "Green Lantern Corps" honors this with two characters in the corps: Eddore of Tront and Arisia.
 
A different interpretation of Jordan and the Corps appears in Superman: Red Son.
 
Following the rebirth of Superman and the destruction of Green Lantern's hometown of Coast City in the early 1990s, Hal Jordan seemingly went insane and destroyed the Green Lantern Corps and the Central Power Battery.
 
Now calling himself Parallax, Hal Jordan would devastate the DC Universe off and on for the next several years.
 
However, after Earth's sun was threatened by a Sun-Eater, Jordan sacrificed his life expending the last of his vast power to reignite the dying star.
 
Jordan subsequently returned from beyond the grave as the Spectre, the divine Spirit of God's Vengeance, whom Jordan attempted to transform into a Spirit of Redemption, which ended in failure.
 
In Green Lantern: Rebirth it is revealed that Jordan was under the influence of a creature known as Parallax when he turned renegade.
 
Parallax was a creature of pure fear that had been imprisoned in the Central Power Battery by the Guardians of the Universe in the distant past.
 
Imprisonment had rendered the creature dormant and it was eventually forgotten, becoming known merely as the "yellow impurity" in the power rings.
 
Sinestro was able to wake Parallax and encourage it to seek out Hal Jordan as a host.
 
Although Parallax had been trying to corrupt Jordan (via his ring) for some time, it was not until after the destruction of Coast City that it was able to succeed.
 
It took advantage of Jordan's weakened emotional state to lure him to Oa and cause him to attack anyone who stood in his way.
 
When Jordan finally entered the Central Power Battery and absorbed all the power, he unwittingly freed the Parallax entity and allowed it to graft onto his soul.
 
The Spectre bonded with Jordan in the hopes of freeing the former Green Lantern's soul from Parallax's taint but was not strong enough to do so.
 
In "Green Lantern Rebirth" Parallax began to assert control of the Parallax-Spectre-Jordan composite.
 
Thanks to a supreme effort of will Jordan was able to free himself from Parallax, rejoin his soul to his body and reclaim his power ring.
 
newly revived (and youthened) Jordan awoke just in time to save Kyle Rayner and Green Arrow from Sinestro.
