Amon Sur

An uneasy heir to Abin Sur’s legacy.

Amon Sur is Abin Sur’s son, but his relationship with the Green Lantern legacy is antagonistic. His story explores resentment rather than a straightforward inheritance of his father’s ring.

Continuity: Main DC comics continuity; this profile follows the cited era rather than asserting a permanent present-day status.

Affiliation
Sinestro Corps
First appearance
Green Lantern (1990) #162 (2003)
Story history — History and later developments — spoilers

Amon becomes involved with the Black Circle syndicate and later the Sinestro Corps. He believes the ring should have come to him, making Hal’s succession a personal grievance. His yellow affiliation draws on the fear Corps’ power; anger or jealousy in his motivation does not change the yellow light into rage energy. His history crosses Kyle Rayner’s series before the later Sinestro Corps War.
