In the past, John’s father, John Sr., fails a test to become a Green Lantern, leaving him traumatised. Later, Lianna, a member of the Guardians of the Universe, visits John’s mother, Bernadette, and offers the family recompense by giving John a chance to join the Green Lantern Corps in the future. When John is 5 years old, his parents train him to be fearless. Years later, John joins the United States Marine Corps and is assigned an assassination mission, but Hal’s intervention causes it to fail. John is dishonourably discharged, and Bernadette enrols him in art school so he can pursue his passion. In 2016, a Guardians recruiter approaches John, who successfully passes his test. He is sent to the next stage of the interview. She offers him the role as the new Green Lantern, but he must not reveal this to Hal Jordan and has to pretend to accept his guidance as his apprentice. 

John returns home to tell his parents he finds Hal Jordan has told them his news and, privately tells John he does not need a sidekick and he’ll only get the Green Lantern ring over his dead body.

Back in Rushville in 2016, Hal tries to give John Stewart his first flying lesson. But when John creates an actual bird and drains the Power Ring, Hal tasks him to go to Coast City to retrieve his charging lantern and keeping the created bird alive throughout the trip.

Hal tries to force William to reveal his boss but a warning shot from his army sends Hal to the mysteriously empty medical centre to heal his wounds.

Meanwhile, in Coast City, John retrieves the Lantern from Hal’s mansion and feeds his carnivorous plant, Earl. As soon as he leaves he’s ambushed and kidnapped by aliens who are convinced a shape-shifting being called a Manhunter is in Rushville. If John doesn’t find the Manhunter they will blow themselves up destroying most of North Dakota.
