Story history — History and later developments — spoilers
Tomar-Tu first appears among the displaced communities on Oa’s Mosaic world and later joins the Corps. He is Tomar-Re’s son, but his own history should not be collapsed into his father’s. In Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #25, his killing of a prisoner and willingness to face judgment become central to the tension between the green and yellow forces.
Reference scope: The secondary index distinguishes his introduction from joining. DC’s #25 recap confirms the later crisis. Appearing on the Mosaic world does not establish that he was born there.
