“Beware My Power”

★ 1st appearance — John Stewart

In "Beware My Power," Hal Jordan is tasked with training a new Green Lantern after Guy Gardner’s injury, but John Stewart’s unorthodox methods and strong moral compass clash with the Guardians’ expectations. When a suspicious assassination attempt on the racist politician Jeremiah Clutcher unfolds, John uncovers a disturbing truth behind the staged attack—revealing a deeper, more manipulative scheme at play. Written by Denny O'Neil and illustrated with powerful precision by Neal Adams, with inks by Dick Giordano and letters by John Costanza, the cover by Neal Adams captures the tension of a moment that could change everything.

When Guy Gardner is injured, the Guardians of the Universe instruct Hal Jordan to train another back-up, but John Stewart has different ideas about how to be a Lantern. When an attempt is seemingly made on the life of racist politician Jeremiah Clutcher, John Stewart figures out that the attack was faked and part of a cynical plot to get Clutcher elected president.
