Warning! Spoilers ahead for Green Lantern: War Journal #12!I Flash he might be called the Fastest Man Alive, but The Green Lantern he has something to give Wally West a run for his money. John Stewart has gone to the darkest parts of the DC Universe and come out the other side with the power to oppose the Scarlet Speedster.
In Green Lantern: Military Journal #12 by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Montos, the Revenant Queen releases the Radiant Host to kill John and his allies. However, John is now in possession of the Dark Star Ring, which gives the Green Lantern the power of the Elder God Olgrun.
After defeating the Queen and saving the day, John reveals that he had a vision that warned him that his mother was in trouble for the world. Guy Gardner reminds John that the Earth has gone dramatically off course, even a Green Lantern, but John uses the Dark Star Ring to fast travel to Earth.
Green Lantern's New Power Ring Can Take Him Anywhere in an Instant
John was captured by the Revenant Queen, who intended to make him a ship for Olgrun to inhabit. Green Lantern was transported light years to the Dark Star, a portal to the universe that contained the remnants of Olgrun. John discovered that the Dark Star was built around a ring that Olgrun had made for his daughter, which contained part of his essence. To close the portal and sever Olgrun's connection to the universe, John entered the dark realm. Olgrun tried to control John's body, but Green Lantern prevailed and stole the Dark Star Ring.
Green Lanterns can achieve amazing things with their powers. At their height, they can travel several times faster than the speed of light. However, even the strongest Green Lanterns pale in comparison to the speedster, especially those who understand the Speed Force as intimately as the Flash like Wally West. That said, John is more than just a super-powered Green Lantern. Now he has a ring with the power of a God and Green Lantern can use it to travel a great distance in the blink of an eye. Flash is fast, but the new Green Lantern ring gives John a serious edge.
The Flash Can't Compare To The Old Reality God
Maybe it's not a fair comparison since there's a big difference between the Flash running faster than anyone can see and the Green Lantern being able to move faster. But Wally West once proved that he was as fast as someone who could move on the spot. But John wasn't even trying here. Imagine how fast a Green Lantern can travel using his natural strength and Olgrun's power. I Flash hands down as a speedster, but with this new ring on the Green Lantern's finger, he has the most powerful rival of all. The Green Lantern.
