Though initially enemies, Malvolio and Alan Scott agree to a truce, each trying to convert the other to his beliefs. But Malvolio is not a Green Lantern...he's a power-hungry madman in possession of a ring of almost limitless power. Turning the tables on Scott, he sends his adversary into the nameless dimension in which Malvolio had spent his centuries of imprisonment.
Out of another time, Hal Jordan, Earth's second Green Lantern, is Scott's only hope for freedom, pointing his predecessor toward his destiny. But by the time Scott returns to Earth, Malvolio has gathered an army of humans in possession of Sinestro's cloned power ring, forcing Scott to discover the full extent of his powers and use them to defeat both Malvolio and his army of sleeper agents--before they destroy Earth and every other planet that a Green Lantern calls home!'>Through a bizarre and tragic turn of events, a seventeenth-century berserker gains the power of a Green Lantern. But because Malvolio kills his alien benefactor, he never learns the extent of this incredible power--and the responsibility that come with it--and uses it instead to ruthlessly destroy his enemies. Before he can crown himself king, an immortal Guardian of the Universe, one of the masters of the Green Lanterns, steps in and imprisons Malvolio in the farthest reaches of deep space...for eternity.
Found by a group of Qwardians seeking to escape from the tyrannical rule of the evil Green Lantern Sinestro, Malvolio tricks them into freeing him. While they remain trapped in his place, Malvolio travels through a star gate to Earth to at last make himself king. The unwitting Qwardians find a way to seed the galaxy with replicas of Sinestro's ring--hoping to create sleeper agents that might one day find a way to free them.
