[1] In 1994, DC Comics published the controversial storyline "Emerald Twilight", which established Hal Jordan as the supervillain Parallax and introduced a single Green Lantern for our universe, Kyle Rayner.

The Guardians of the Universe have summoned Guy Gardner and Kyle Rayner to Oa, amidst a massive recruitment drive of 7,200 new Green Lanterns.

Because of Korugar’s unfortunate history with the evil Green Lantern Sinestro, and the death of fellow Korugarian Katma Tui, Natu initially refuses the ring, but reluctantly takes it to save the life of a patient.

Two other recruits are plucked from opposite sides of the Rann/Thanagarian War, the Rannian soldier Vath Sarn, and the condemned Thanagarian saurian Isamot Kol.

Meanwhile, Natu has gone missing, finding herself in an unidentified location devoid of light and filled with web-like objects, and a dead Green Lantern.

Gardner tells the entire Corps to fire on Oa’s sun to first stabilize it, and then to feed energy back to Vega in order to destroy the Guild’s nest.

While the spiders continue to attack, killing some Green Lanterns, the sun is slowly stabilized, overloading the Guild’s subspace web.
