Amon Sur is the son of
Abin Sur, a Green Lantern who was killed in duty. He feels that Abin abandoned him in favor of the
Green Lantern Corps and decides to take his anger out on all Green Lanterns. Amon is eventually stopped by
Hal Jordan's successor,
Kyle Rayner, and a second-generation
Guardian of the Universe named
Lianna. Lianna decapitates Amon, but he survives and regenerates his body. Years later, Amon confronts Hal Jordan, who has returned to his Green Lantern role after being freed from the influence of
Parallax. Hal defeats Amon, who receives a duplicate of
Sinestro's ring from the
Qwardians and is recruited into the
Sinestro Corps, representing Space Sector 2814. After the
Sinestro Corps War, Amon Sur is found by a contingent of Green Lanterns on the planet Varva, having murdered the family of deceased Lantern
Ke'Haan. He is killed by
Laira, Ke'Haan's close friend. Amon's ring leaves him after his death and heads for Earth, only to be destroyed by the Guardians. Laira incinerates Amon's body to prevent any chance of resurrection. During the
Blackest Night storyline, Amon Sur is resurrected as a
Black Lantern. He attacks Sinestro at the home of the
Star Sapphires, only to be destroyed by the combined attack of Hal Jordan and members of the
Indigo Tribe. ==Powers and abilities==
