Under Morrison, Sandman (the Vertigo guy) tells Kyle that he will far surpass Hal. Kelly has Kyle die in ancient times and use his ring to keep his ghost around for another couple thousand years, just sitting in a cave trying to stay sane so that he could warn the modern heroes.Chris Griswoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15202859732079543927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12109838.post-1151508386964564242006-06-28T08:26:00.000-07:002006-06-28T08:26:00.000-07:00That is a F#&@ Yeah moment form Green Lantern Rebi...That is a F#&@ Yeah moment form Green Lantern Rebirth if I ever saw one.

Kyle was a hero, simply because it was the right thing to do with the power he lucked into. And he certainly did "hold the line" for the GL legacy. <BR/><BR/>Kyle might never become as "iconic" as a lot of other heroes have, but when it comes down to pure respect for their reasoning for being a hero, Kyle's got them all beaten.James Meeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15125466138669301618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12109838.post-1151122587670499392006-06-23T21:16:00.000-07:002006-06-23T21:16:00.000-07:00Kyle as the guy who's way out of his league but ho...Kyle as the guy who's way out of his league but holds the line anyway is clearly why Morrison loved him in JLA.

The rogue maverick pilot who disobeys orders, beds every woman in a 500-mile radius, and ignores everyone else to do what he thinks is right--oh, and that line about how only criminals have something to fear. Blech.<BR/><BR/>Spare me the wish fulfillment of middle-aged fanboys. Kyle is a much more relatable, interesting, and enjoyable character, and he deserves respect. Here's hoping "Ion" makes enough bank to become an ongoing series. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12109838.post-1151060237762117332006-06-23T03:57:00.000-07:002006-06-23T03:57:00.000-07:00See!

The fact that he rarely felt like he fit with all the legends on the JLA, that he was the rookie, and that only made him try harder to show he could hold his own, that he could - as you pointed out - maintain the Green Lantern Legacy. That's why Kyle was my favorite character in JLA.CalvinPitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11815632086057048846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12109838.post-1151013351579763402006-06-22T14:55:00.000-07:002006-06-22T14:55:00.000-07:00You know, I like Kyle as much as the next guy, but...You know, I like Kyle as much as the next guy, but if you listen carefully, you can just make out the sounds of Jonah Hex rolling over in his grave.Scotushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15722727764493748172noreply@blogger.com
