November 21, 2011 11:48 am The 50/50 shot was indeed a retcon... made way back in GL v2 59. It also retconned the part in Showcase 22 where Hal supposedly came up with the Green Lantern name. Xum

November 21, 2011 11:45 am The pre-Crisis history involved Guy being caught in an explosion from Hal's battery, which was damaged by one-time villain the Crumbler (GL 116), which sent him into the Phantom Zone, where he was brainwashed by General Zod and the other PZ villains (GL122). He was then snagged by Sinestro into Qward to lure Hal Jordan to another duel. Hal saved Guy, but he was comatose from the ordeal (GL 123). A rebel faction of the Guardians later revived Guy in order to make him a GL during the Crisis on Infinite Earths event (GL 189-200). The coma supposedly caused the new personality. The post-crisis story changed slightly. The power battery explosion sent him directly to Qward and rendered him comatose (Secret Origins v2 7). Xum

November 21, 2011 11:29 am The Sinestro Corps storyline included a mention of Guy using Sinestros ring "for awhile" ... In the chapter where Hal was wielding several yellow rings. Hal and John Stewart immediately started to bahe Guy for his fashion sense at the time, I recall... Xum
