History ComicBook / HalJordanAndTheGreenLanternCorps

* HonorBeforeReason: {{Invoked}}. When the Green Lanterns return to the universe, Guy is sent to recon there position, as their systems are still being repaired, but doesn't return. In a speech to the rest of the Corps, John states that the smart move now would be to wait and repair everything, get a clear picture of what's going on before rushing out.
-->'''John:'''Or we can do what Guy would - Say "To heck with it" and follow him into the black.

* InternalReveal: Upon learning [[spoiler:about Hal's apparent death]], Kilowag tells the rest of the Corps about Hal's TakingTheHeat scheme, undoing his "traitor" reputation".

* TakeThat: In issue 12, Guy Gardner attempts to break one of the bottles of [[spoiler:Larfleeze and the 80s Brainiac]] that holds the New 52 ComicBook/{{Lobo}}. Hal Jordan shows up before Guy can spike it, claiming "Not that one. Trust me. Better to leave him on the shelf."

* LastDance: Hal searches the universe for the Green Lantern Corps, only to find the Sinestro Corps in control. Due to his DeadlyUpgrade above, he decides that he can't risk waiting any longer to find the Green Lanterns. He storms Warworld to try and thwart Sinestro's scheme one last time, fully aware that, win or not, he's almost certainly going to die. [[spoiler:Hal does manage to destroy Warworld and apparently kill Sinestro, but he doesn't survive. [[LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt Though considering the title, it doesn't stick for long.]]]]

** Also how the Corps manages to get away from [[spoiler:Larfleeze. The Greens and the Yellows were being overpowered by his Orange Lanterns, until John gets the idea to start freeing all of his collection. Larfleeze subsequently panics, and leaves the other Lanterns to try and get his "stuff" back.

* BeyondTheImpossible: In the ''Rebirth'' prologue, Hal manages to forge a Green Lantern ring from his own willpower. He and Soranik both point out that this feat was thought to be impossible for anyone but the Guardians of the Universe. [[spoiler:Ganthet, one of said Guardians,]] is at first surprised, but is quickly amused by how long it took for Hal to do this.

* DefectorFromDecadence: [[spoiler:Soranik Natu leads the defection of several Sinestro Corpsmen, who didn't want to be involved in the whole "terror and kidnapping" thing. They ally themselves with the Green Lantern Corps]].

* TakeThat: In issue 12, one of the bottles that [[spoiler:Larfleeze and the 80s Brainiac]] Guy Gardner attempts to break holds the New 52 ComicBook/{{Lobo}}. Hal Jordan shows up before Guy can spike it, claiming "Not that one. Trust me. Better to leave him on the shelf."

* ItIsNotYourTime: [[spoiler:After Hal's HeroicSacrifice, he finds himself in the mysterious Emerald Space. [[DeathByOriginStory Abin Sur]] appears and tells him that it's the afterlife for the bravest of Green Lanterns, but also that Hal doesn't belong here...]]

* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Guy's ring runs out of juice, and it turns out that he doesn't wear anything underneath his ring-generated uniform.
* NotBrainwashed: While the audience knows better, Soranik's affiliation with the Sinestro Corps is viewed with much suspicion by the Green Lantern Corps, with John Stewert assuming she was brainwashed right off the bat. She has to explain the whole story for Corps to accept that this trope is in play.

* BeyondTheImpossible: In the ''Rebirth'' prologue, Hal manages to forge a Green Lantern ring from his own willpower. He and Soranik both point out that this feat was thought to be impossible for anyone but the Guardians of the Universe.
** [[spoiler:Ganthet, one of said Guardians,]] is at first surprised, but is quickly amused by how long it took for Hal to do this.

* PoweredByAForsakenChild: In order to cement his control of the universe, Sinestro creates the Fear Engine, a gigantic machine inside Warworld. Thousands of captives are shown their greatest fears, which would fuel the Sinestro Corps' fear rings indefinitely.
** Notably, though, Sinestro actively avoids the "child" part of this trope. [[PragmaticVillainy He believes that only the best and brightest can provide enough fear energy, and children certainly don't fit the criteria]].

* DeadlyUpgrade: Hal's usage of Krona's Gauntlet in the previous volume has started turning him into a being of pure willpower. He's far more powerful like this, but if he stays in it for too long, he [[Pun will]] fade into the emotional spectrum. By forging a ring, he gains the ability to turn it on or off[[note]]Soranik operated on Hal for eight hours, and didn't see any sign of it[[/note]], but he isn't sure how long that will last for. Plus, the power starts to creep in even when he's trying to avoid using it, resulting in Hal's loss to some Sinestro Corps {{Mooks}}, when he can't go all out for fear of killing nearby civilians. [[spoiler:Eventually, his fight with Sinestro allows him to pull an EarthShatteringKaboom on Warworld, [[HeroicSacrifice intending on taking Sinestro with him]]]].

* ItIsNotYourTime: [[spoiler:After Hal's HeroicSacrifice, he finds himself in the mysterious Emerald Space. [[DeathByOriginStoryAbin Sur]] appears and tells him that it's the afterlife for the bravest of Green Lanterns, but also that Hal doesn't belong here...]]

-->'''Sinestro:''' Take responsibility for your failures, daughter. Or you will never learn from them.

** When Sinestro figures out that Soranik took Hal, it cuts to her apparently torturing Hal. The next issue reveals this was merely part of the surgery needed to keep him from dying.

* EurekaMoment: Upon being informed that the Corps is trapped by an ultradense, glass-like material, and not an energy barrier like previously thought, John immediately puts the dots together to figure out their captor is [[spoiler:Comicbook/{{Brainiac}}]].
* InternalReveal: Upon learning [[spoiler:about Hal's apparent death]], Kilowag tells the rest of the Corps about Hal's TakingTheHeat scheme, showing that he wasn't a traitor.

* BaitAndSwitch: Issue #3 ends with Hal defeated by a squad of Sinestro Corpsmen, ready to take him to Sinestro. The next issue begins with Sinestro about to gloatingly welcome Hal... only for it to turn out that the Green Lantern brought before him is [[spoiler:''Guy Gardner'']], who'd been captured offscreen.

* LethalJokeCharacter: Rot Lop Fan, a Green Lantern whose species has no concept of light or color, is usually remembered for his unique variation on the Green Lantern creed, and has had little to no speaking appearances since his first story in ''1987''. However, in #9, Rot uses his sensitive hearing to find and sever Starro's connection to the mind-controlling spawn.
