Kryptonian Green Lantern

So, me and a friend have always wondered if  Superman's home planet of Krypton ever had someone of that race as a member of the Green Lantern Corps. So I started looking into it and thought, why don't I write all of it down for myself and anyone else who's ever wondered. Sort of like a research paper.


The Green Lantern Corps.

"The Green Lantern Corps are an inter-galactic police force dedicated to protecting sentient life in every form, established thousands of years ago by the Guardians. Officers are chosen for their ability to overcome great fear and given a power ring fueled by the strength of their willpower, the mightiest weapon in the universe. They have two representatives for all of the 3600 sectors in the known universe, their headquarters located centrally on the planet Oa.

The Corps is an organization of 7200 Green Lanterns who are chosen by the ring for being able to overcome great fear, with two assigned to sectors of space that require the protection of more than one Green Lantern.

Upon recruitment each Green Lantern in the original Corps received a Power Ring, a Power Battery shaped like a lantern (with which the ring is recharged), and a uniform."

In a nutshell, the Green Lanterns are representatives from all the known galaxies and planets, but what I've been trying to find is whether or not there has been a Green Lantern from Superman/Kal-El's home planet of Krypton. Or if

While there hasn't actually been a legitimate Kryptonian Green Lantern, In DC history there has been a single descendant of Kryptonians, and in an alternated, hallucinatory reality Kal-El have both been Green Lanterns.



Kal-El: Green Lantern
Firstly with the man of steel himself, and his story as a lantern.

In an alternate hallucinatory world, the planet of Krypton never exploded and the ring that found Hal Jordan didn't travel to Earth, but instead found Kal-El and became a Lantern. As a result he became the Lantern responsible for both Earth and Krypton. Unfortunately, this was only an illusion that was set up by Justice League villains to defeat the group.

Daxamites: Kryptonian Descendants

Daxamites are simply Kryptonians who left their home of Krypton and travelled to other galaxies and planets. Just like Superman, when a Kryptonian travels from their home, they develop powers including invulnerability, strength, flight and every other power Superman has been known to possess.

In old comics, a prophecy was told that a Daxamite would one day become an unstoppable Green Lantern that would bring about the end of the Green Lantern Corps.




Sodam Yat: Kryptonian descendant and Green Lantern

In modern comics, he is a Green Lantern who fights for good and holds a superior position as an entity known as Ion. But in the older comic book tellings, Sodam was a more sinister and evil character.

A Daxamite by birth, he was the only person with any form of Kryptonian in him. As previously mentioned, a prophecy stated that a Daxamite would be a Lantern at that person turned out to be Sodam Yat. This is because he would already possess powers just like Superman, and to possess the Ring would make him an even more powerful enemy and is even dubbed 'The Ultimate Green Lantern'.




Tomar-Re: Sector 2813 and Krypton Chargee

Seeing as there was no official Kryptonian Green Lantern, there was a lantern assigned to be responsible for the planet Krypton. And after researching the character, I found out that he tried to stop the planet from its destruction. He was in charge of 'Sector 2813' which the planet was part of, and was on the way to the planet with a rare compound that could have stopped it from blowing up. Unfortunately, he a start exploded and caused to lose his vision and the Stellarium. He did regain his vision and the metal, but arrived just in time to witness Krypton explode.
