Biography[]
Justice League Dark[]
He attended a Justice League meeting at the Hall of Justice. Superman and Wonder Woman presented a series of crimes caused by law-abiding citizens all around the world experiencing nightmare visions. Stewart asked if the cause was known yet. Superman admitted they had no idea yet. Stewart fretted something had to happen the week he filled in and wished it was a hairy monster instead. Wonder Woman suggested a paranormal element but Batman ruled it out stating the criminally insane didn't need magic as an excuse. He recommended they spend more time on the streets instead of flying over them then left the meeting. Stewart noted Batman was even friendlier than they say.
Green Lantern arrived first in Gotham City and battled the rematerialized Destiny. He created a pincer construct and grabbed the force shield around Destiny then threw it into a building. Destiny fired bursts of energy from his chest and breached Lantern's shield, sending him flying into a billboard. Lantern was affected by Destiny's magic Dreamstone and was driven mad. Batman tried to talk him down but Lantern saw a Bat monster instead. Batman threw a Batarang in vain then Lantern formed a construct of medieval weapons. Eventually, Lantern punched Batman and they traded shots. Lantern leaped away and realized he was in his USMC jacket civies. Batman stripped his power ring off on the sly. He tasered Lantern. Wonder Woman charged him but Zatanna came to his aid and incanted the Lasso of Truth around her.
Justice League Dark: Apokolips War[]
John Stewart was seen after the brunt of Darkseid's attack on Oa. In his last attempts to stop Darkseid, he began reciting the Green Lantern oath to the power battery to charge his ring. He was killed when Darkseid ordered Batman to boom tube some of the magma from the Earth's core on top of Oa. He was the last known green lantern alive, and his last words were, "Beware my power, green lantern's light". His body was turned to ash, and his ring didn’t fly off to find a replacement since the power battery was destroyed.
