Hey there, sorry if this has been asked before, I tried searching for it but I literally got hundreds of hits, so...
1) How come Earth has so many Green Lanterns? I read a little about the reason for it in the comics, but I'm wondering of the reason for it in Universe 16?
2) Why were John and Hal originally against Guy joining the Justice League?
Greg responds...
1. Our basic theory is that qualified Green Lanterns are hard to come by in Universe-16. Entire planets, entire populations, have been searched, with a ring finding no one qualified. Earth, oddly, seems to have at least the potential for the kind of greatness that a ring is looking for. And so it may be a recruitment bed, which does NOT mean that suddenly there are going to be hundreds of Lanterns on or from Earth, or even a handful, as just being recruited from somewhere doesn't mean you're assigned to that sector.
2. Guy can be a real pain in the butt.
