Kyle Rayner (New Earth)

"*Oh how much I underestimated you, Kyle Rayner, I'm sorry I overlooked you, you truly are one of the greats, and I am proud to have you as a Green Lantern.*"
―Ganthet's last words to Kyle[src]
**Kyle Rayner** is a former freelance graphic artist struggling to find work who lived in Los Angeles. He was one of two other humans that were chosen to bear a Lantern power ring after the previous owners were attacked and killed by an alien organization known as the Reach. He and the two others, John Stewart and Guy Gardner, were transported to the planet Oa where they meet another human Green Lantern, Hal Jordan.

In the coming years he fought in the Return of the Manhunters attack, as well as the colossal War of Light. He also helped Superman in fighting against Brainiac's invading forces.

After Darkseid's Second Invasion of Earth, Hal Jordan went mad and succumbed to Parallax influence, causing him to wipe out the entire Green Lantern Corps by utilizing their fear. Kyle then became the sole survivor of the Great Fall of the Green Lantern Corps along with only Ganthet, the two then find ways to defeat Parallax and free Hal, eventually discovering the solution to the Anti-Life Equation by harnessing the intricate power of Life and becoming the first **White Lantern**.
