John Stewart possessed one of the Guardians of the Universe's fabled rings of power. After absorbing
energy from its power battery, the power ring can do anything conceived by its wearer.
Fueled by the wearer's willpower, the ring can interpret its user's thoughts into reality.
The power ring has only two known weaknesses. The ring must be charged once every rotation
of the wearer's planet (in John's case, once every 24 hours). If it is not recharged, it
loses power when the 24 hour limit is reached. Also, the ring in ineffective against
anything colored yellow. Due to an imperfection in the creation of the ring, the ring
cannot directly affect any objects colored yellow. The yellow weakness was purposely
included by the Guardians of the Universe to prevent any one Green Lantern from becoming
too powerful. The ring of
power must be recharged by its power battery, which resembles a green lantern. The
individual power batteries draw their power from the main power battery located on the
Guardians' home planet of Oa.
To prevent capture, the power battery is usually
located in a pocket dimension, accessible only by its owner.
In addition to the power ring, John Stewart is also one of
the most skilled architects in the country. |
| Background: |
| John Stewart was
selected to act as alternate Green Lantern of space sector 2814 should
Hal Jordan become incapacitated. Idealistic, John championed the
oppressed, eventually given full status in the Green Lantern Corps by
the Guardians of the Universe. Sadly, John's career would be rife with
tragedy, including the death of his wife Katma Tui at the hands of Star
Sapphire, and the destruction of the planet Xanshi, a result of John's
overconfidence. As part of his self imposed
penance John accepted the commission to unite alien cities stolen by a
mad Guardian, which became Oa's "Mosaic." After the Corps disbanded,
John began a tenure as leader of the Darkstars galactic peacekeeping
force until he was crippled while defending the planet Rann. In a final
act of friendship, Hal Jordan visited John and healed his injuries
before sacrificing himself to heal Earth's sun. Today, John has founded
Shining Light Architecture, advises Kyle as best he can and is currently
serving in the JLA in Kyle's place while he is in space. |
