Synopsis Hal Jordan remembers the day when he first became Green Lantern. He was taken to the site of a crashed spaceship, and inside, a dying alien passed on to him a power ring and a battery of power, and explained their abilities and limitations. Hal pledged to take his place. He established a career as the hero Green Lantern, and then was invited to the planet Oa to meet the Guardians and the other Green Lanterns. Wrapping up, he recharges his ring with the oath that reminds him of his purpose as a Green Lantern.
