Isamot Kol is a fictional comic book superhero, an extraterrestrial from the planet Thanagar, and a member of the intergalactic police force known as the Green Lantern Corps.
He first appeared in DC Comics' Green Lantern Corps: Recharge #1 (November 2005), and was created by writers Geoff Johns and Dave Gibbons, and artist Patrick Gleason.
As member of the Imperial Thanagarian Army, Kol was scheduled to be executed for killing his commanding officer because his superior wanted to surrender to a squadron of Rannians.
[1] Kol is brought to the planet Oa, home to the extraterrestrial Guardians of the Universe who administer and oversee the Corps, for Green Lantern training.
Kol was also slow to adapt to Corps protocols, questioning his orders, and even threatening an Okaaran hospital ship that fired upon him after refusing to change course from the star.
The star eventually went supernova, and the two new recruits valiantly attempted to pull the ship from the ensuing black hole, but were sucked in.
Isamot and Sarn, forced to go on by themselves due to Kilowog not being able to fit in the tunnels they were using, discover that the Guild plans to invade Oa.
The three join up with Guy Gardner and Kyle Rayner, who had also broken the rules to rescue the missing and unwilling Lantern recruit Soranik Natu.
[2] Isamot decides to reduce his serving time from the Green Lantern Corps, due to the mating urges of his species.
Later, he is forcibly pulled to Oa to take part in a treaty-breaking incursion into the depths of Okarran space, along with other Green Lanterns.
The very act of being taken to Oa causes him to disrupt Thanagar flying police officers, who scoff and insult the very concept of a 'downsider' Green Lantern.
[15] After answering what seems to be a pointless emergency call, Isamot and Sarn find an unknown Guardian allied with the current Green Lanterns of Earth.
