Story history — History and later developments — spoilers

Katma succeeds Sinestro as Korugar’s Lantern and later trains John Stewart; their relationship becomes a marriage. She also recruits Rot Lop Fan by translating the idea of a Green Lantern into terms he can understand. Her death in Action Comics #601 is part of John’s later grief, but her teaching and service matter independently of that tragedy.
