There's a Corps, since Kyle's recreation of Oa happened before Rebirth. By my current continuity, here's the status of Earth's Current Green Lanterns:

  • Hal Jordan is, like Francisco Franco, valiantly holding on in his fight to remain dead. He might be The Spectre; I haven't decided yet, and, well, it may never come up. He was 60 when he died reigniting the sun.
  • Guy Gardner is, alas, deceased, after the events of Zero Hour. I'm sorry; this one was required by the needs of the story arc. He was 59 when he died, but only 43 biologically, having been blown into the Phantom Zone for most of the '70s and '80s when Hal's Power Battery exploded.
  • John Stewart has resumed the role he assumed at the end of Green Lantern: Mosaic: He's one of the Guardians of Oa. He's now 70, but it hardly matters, since, you know, Guardian.
  • Kyle Rayner (age 50) is hailed throughout the Corps as the Torchbearer, and leads the Honor Guard. He lives on Oa, his duties take him all over the Galaxy, and he seldom winds up on Earth.


The current Green Lantern of Sector 2814 isn't human, and doesn't live on Earth. Ey's nominally a member of the Justice League, but from eir perspective, the League derive whatever authority they might have from their association with a member of the Corps -- they're eirs deputies, in effect.

I don't know if Kyle resurrected the Little Blue Bastards in the 2020 timeline, or if the new Guardians are gathered from races all across the galaxy. I'm pretty sure they're not these guys, no matter how much I love plugging obscure and embarrassing characters into major roles in the Legacyverse.

The name "Parallax" is exclusively associated with the Madness of Hal Jordan; if you tried to convince someone in the Legacyverse that Hal was possessed by a Giant Yellow Space Bug, they'd think you were making a joke in Really Bad Taste. More details on that are hidden away here.
