He had just taken over in the role of the Green Lantern of Earth, taking over from Hal, but for an extensive period before that, John had been the back-up Green Lantern, for whenever Hal might not be available.
For example, there was a Christmas issue of JLoA, where Hal slips in the shower and hits his head. Consequently, Hal's ring goes and gets John Stewart who then gets to be the Green Lantern for this story.
Something like that was how I first found out about John too.
It was one of my first JLA comics. They were fighting against some alien who fed on fear, and Hal's presence caused him physical pain. He was fighting against Hal alone, so he turned a rockslide yellow and Hal was KOed. Hal's ring went to the satellite and told the League what happened after telling them it couldn't contact John Stewart. Now, since this was back before the days of the Internet, comic book shops or major fanzines it took a good deal of work to find out who this John Stewart guy was.
So I can certainly see how someone could have missed John's presence.
Only once that I know of, and that was pointless, as there were no warnings beforehand, and from what I recall when I joined up, there was suppose to be warnings.
Well don't be surprised if it happens again, and don't say you weren't warned.
Gads, man, chill out. Some of these threads are just for fun, ya know? Try not to take things so seriously, lest ways so you don't burn out as a wretched old man mentally when you're physically not that old at all.
Sheesh.
The thread was started to answer a question about the history of the least-appreciated member of the Green Lantern Corps, not to serve as a venue for your JLA-themed slash fic. The fact that you've got 22 of 29 of the most recent replies in this subforum alone leads me to believe that your idea of fun is what more experienced posters consider "spamming". Which, I believe, is what earned you your first banning. There's no warning necessary for something that's explicitly spelled out in the site's FAQ...

People seriously need to unlax. Even Batman takes a break now and then. Sheesh.
I liked Stewart in the Animated JLA. He balanced out the team. He was the disciplined soldier. Hal woud have been the devil may care hotshot and Wally was doing that pretty good himself. Since Stewart is part of a legion force, why not have him be the type?
Besides at the time of the show Hal was evil.
The selfish infect us all with sad, vulgar, sexual references and a constant barage of innapropriate innuendo. A pity to be subjected to this against our wills, but to allow it into our lives with open arms shames us all
Just finished it the other day. I liked it, it was pretty cool. I can't honestly say that I liked it more or less than Infinite Crisis, though.
I think it's contextual to a very large extent. Some things were just so unprecedented at the time they had bigger impact.
The Spectre showing up and kicking arse was rare.
Darkseid wasn't overexposed to the point that his very appearance still menacing.
We didn't have quite as much of a "revolving door of Death" that Flash and Supergirl's sacrifices were still big deals.
And of course this shook the status quo that had been in place for a long, long time.
I thought "American Gothic" that ran in tandem with Crisis in Swamp Thing was a much better story with larger implications, but Crisis still rocked my young brain at the time. It was a great year to be reading comics.
