History

Guy's father was abusive. His mother favored Mace, the older brother. Guy became a juvenile delinquent until Mace was able to help him.

Guy attended college in Michigan. He earned degrees in education and psychology. He was also successful as a football player until injuries ended his career.

After college, Guy worked as a social welfare caseworker, dealing with prison inmates and their rehabilitation. He abandoned this line of work, however, fearing that it brought out his more aggressive nature. He then became a teacher for children with disabilities.

Although Hal Jordan was chosen by Abin Sur, Guy was also deemed worthy. He met Hal and befriended him, even helping until being left comatose by Hector Hammond.

He was later recruited to serve as a Green Lantern by a rogue group of Guardians. Due to his illness, more aggressive traits started to appear.

Guy was a founding member of the JLI. Despite his many attempts, he has never made it to being chairman. He also had an on and off relationship with Ice until her death.

After losing his Green Lantern Ring to Hal, Guy with the help of Lobo was able to take Sinestro's Qwardian Ring.

Guy later learned he was descended from the Vuldarians, traveling spacefares. He used their powers as Warrior after losing the Qwardian ring to Parallax on Oa.

His personality changes were revealed to be the work of Dementor, another half-Vuldarian.

Guy's Warrior powers were in flux due to Parallax attempting to possess him. The demon was eventually defeated and Guy was reinstated as a Green Lantern. He is currently a trainer for the new Corps, but has expressed that he would rather be out adventuring.
