He attempted to put himself back together and started seeing Justice League member Vixen. John shared one last goodbye with Shayera before she flew off to parts unknown.ĭespite everything that happened, John remained with the Justice League through its expansion, although he at one point unsuccessfully appealed to the Guardians for reassignment to another space sector. However, Shayera voluntarily resigned from the League before hearing their verdict. John recused himself from voting due to his personal feelings toward Shayera, so Superman broke the tie because he believed in second chances. After the Thanagarians were defeated, the League voted whether to reinstate or revoke Shayera's Justice League membership. Hawkgirl's apparent treachery, and engagement to Thanagarian Commander Hro Talak, all but broke John's heart. This romantic attachment would be shattered, however, by the Thanagarian invasion. Although the two clashed at first, their shared military/police backgrounds provided common ground, and in time, the two became romantically involved. In particular, John grew closer to Hawkgirl. John continued to serve with distinction in the Justice League, forming a strong bond with his comrades. The League was able to prove that John was innocent, and that the entire situation had been framed and engineered by the Manhunters as part of a plot to exact revenge upon their former masters - the Guardians. The League followed, ready to stand up for their comrade despite John's insistence that he be held accountable for his actions. A detachment of Manhunter Robots were sent to Earth to take John into custody, to answer charges of inadvertently destroying an inhabited world. John was the focal point of one of the League's earliest missions. In the aftermath of that crisis, John readily agreed to Superman's suggestion that the seven heroes band together as the Justice League. Not long after John's homecoming, he would answer the fateful summons to join six other heroes in opposing the Imperium invasion. John Stewart was therefore sent to stand guard over Sector 2814, while Kyle Rayner was sent to Katma Tui for training. Abin Sur's designated successor, Kyle Rayner, would himself require training before being assigned a sector of his own. Some time later, following Abin Sur's demise at the hands of Sinestro, who by that time had sworn a blood oath against the Green Lantern Corps, John returned to his home sector. Īs Sector 2814 was already under the protection of Green Lantern Abin Sur, John was eventually reassigned to another space sector his activities during this time are largely unrevealed, but John was among the Green Lanterns that brought down their renegade corpsman Sinestro, stripping him of his power ring. Early in his Corps career, John would train under the veteran Green Lantern Katma Tui, with whom he shared a brief romance. Īfter leaving the service, John Stewart was selected by the Guardians of the Universe to join the Green Lantern Corps. Relatively little is known of John's military service, save that he met and befriended Rex Mason during that time, and that he stopped using a nickname by that time that he considered embarrassing later on and told Flash never to repeat. He later left home to enlist in the United States Marine Corps at a fairly young age. He developed much of his heroic characteristics from reading the comics and believed had he not read those comics he probably would never have been selected to be a member of the Green Lantern Corps. He spent much of his youth with his uncle reading Justice Guild of America comics after school. As a child, John Stewart was near-sighted, which required wearing corrective glasses.
