As Abin Sur is dying, he summons a successor without fear-- Clark Kent. Since Clark is not a native of the planet per Guardian law, he cannot assume the responsibilities of a Green Lantern. Abin then shows Clark images of other worthy successors and Clark suggests Hal Jordan as a potential candidate. |

All of the successors are returned to their proper place and time, but each finds that they are charged with a small amount of Green Lantern energy, which solves the problems they were facing at the moment of their summoning. Hal captures the corrupt Major and his flunkies, and Clark and Deadman continue their discussion on existance. |
