Green Lantern Corps

Stel

A sentient robotic Lantern from Grenda.

Stel is a sentient robotic Green Lantern from Grenda. His presence challenges the assumption that an artificial body cannot carry feeling, courage or a place in the Corps.

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

First appearance
Green Lantern (vol. 2) #11 (1962)
Story history — History and later developments — spoilers

Grenda is a world of mechanical beings, and Stel has emotions rather than merely imitating a Lantern’s behavior. He is one of the early alien recruits introduced during the Silver Age and has been damaged and rebuilt over his career. His partnership with Green Man supplies a focused later reading point in Green Lantern Corps #11. Precise size and weight measurements are not needed to understand that history.
