Beware My Power!
As Green Lantern) charges his ring, an earthquake hits Coast City. He investigates, saving lives, including that of his friend Guy Gardner) who is injured after being hit by a bus. Hal worries that with Guy out of commission, there will be no one to replace him if something goes wrong. Suddenly, the image of one of the Guardians of the Universe) appears, stating that there must be an alternate replacement selected.
The Guardians lead Green Lantern to a ghetto where John Stewart) is standing up to a police officer. Hal has his doubts about Stewart, but the Guardian is insistent. After Hal explains the job, John Stewart accepts, joking that he will need to be called the "Black Lantern". Hal teaches John the Oath, and gives John a ring. Hal creates a Green Lantern uniform for John, but John refuses to wear the domino mask; he tosses it aside, saying "This black man lets it **all** hang out! I've got **nothing** to hide!"
Together, the Lanterns deal with a protest against Jeremiah Clutcher, a racist senator, but John seems ambivalent. Hal assigns John to protect Senator Clutcher, to teach him a lesson, but when a would-be assassin attacks Clutcher, John refuses to act, and Hal is forced to chase the assassin down by himself. Despite his earlier inaction, John thwarts a gunman from killing a nearby policeman.
When Hal returns to chastise John Stewart, John reveals that he had seen both gunmen earlier, and allowed the assassin to escape because he knew the gun contained blanks. Both shootings were part of a ploy to make it seem as though John was on a rampage, and Clutcher was a hero. Afterwards, Hal admits that he's not a fan of John's style but however nonetheless accepts him as a recruit, to which the other replies that style is no more important than the color of one's skin.

| Trivia = * In "Beware My Power", John Stewart stops an out-of-control fuel truck from ploughing into a crowd at the airport. The truck is shown to bear the name **SOES**, which is an obvious anagram of **ESSO**—the international tradename of ExxonMobil, the American multinational oil and gas corporation. * The sequence in "What Can One Man Do?" involving the death in hospital of the young black boy shot during the riot, and the deeply-saddened Green Arrow walking away through the darkened streets, is accompanied by part of *A Farewell to Arms*, the 1929 semi-autobiographical novel by Ernest Hemingway. | Recommended = | Links =
