Armed with the full might of the Green Lantern Corps , he adopted the name Parallax and became one of DC ’s most powerful villains . And whileGreen Lantern : Rebirthexplained away most of that villainy , there ’s no uncertainty that Hal Jordan ’s income tax return to the ' bad bozo ' will be less than warmly received by devotee who remember the first time .

With the Green Lantern Corps wipe from the creation , Hal Jordan may yet again be one of DC ’s greatest threats . Is thisthe demise of DC ’s Green Lanterns ?
