It was that event that tipped Hal Jordan over the edge and allowed Parallax to take over.ĭespite Parallax's seeming conquest of Jordan's soul, Jordan's heroic tendencies managed to manifest themselves enough for him to sacrifice his life in order to reignite Earth's Sun. Its plan took a major boast when the evil Mongul, with the help of the mad Cyborg Superman, laid waste to Coast City. However, Parallax didn't account for its host's amazing willpower which caused Parallax's plan to take years. Parallax's control over Jordan became nearly complete with Jordan's grief over the destruction of Coast City during the Reign of the Supermen! storyline, and it was Parallax who was responsible for Jordan's subsequent murderous activity, his apparent killing of Sinestro (which was later revealed to be an energy construct created by Parallax and Sinestro's manipulation to the creature's creation with his own Qwardian ring, created as the final stage of Jordan's susceptibility to the impurity in order to break his will), and Jordan's destruction of the Central Battery, which allowed Parallax to graft itself onto Jordan's soul. Parallax spent years influencing Hal, causing him increasing self-doubt, then fear and notably his premature whitening at the temples.

Since Sinestro hated Hal, he made Parallax choose Jordan as its tool to free itself. However, over the coming years, the being that at the time was trapped inside the Central Battery, found a way to escape its imprisonment through Hal Jordan.
With great will power and defense against fear, Hal Jordan was the perfect selection for Green Lantern and proved it on a number of a occasions. When the renegade Sinestro was later imprisoned in the Power Battery himself, his Qwardian yellow power ring tapped into Parallax's power and awakened it.Ĭenturies later, after the death of Lantern Abin Sur, a Human by the name of Hal Jordan became the Green Lantern of Sector 2814 for the first time. Thus, when recruiting new Green Lanterns the Guardians were careful to look for recruits that were largely fearless. This was the reason why the rings were useless against the color yellow: Parallax weakened its power over the corresponding spectrum hence only someone with the willpower to overcome great fear could master the power ring. Being yellow in color, Parallax eventually came to be referred to as simply "the yellow impurity." Parallax had lain dormant for billions of years, its true nature hidden by the Guardians to prevent anyone from trying to free it.
The Guardians of the Universe imprisoned Parallax within the Central Power Battery on Oa using fear's opposite energy, willpower. Apparently, after this, the Guardians imprisoned Parallax inside the Green Central Power Battery. The battle ended with the Guardians making a deal, that they give the box back to them and that they will let one of them have the orange light and they will never enter the Vega system (the system that holds Okaara), ever. Many Manhunters and Guardians were killed in the battle, as well as one of the claimers to the Orange light. The Guardians and their Manhunter servants attacked the palace. When Larfleeze and his companions reached Okaara and found the symbol of the Orange light, they fought for control of the Battery. From the planet, they grabbed the box, which was worth an entire star system, and an old map that lead them to the Orange light, which was the Orange Power Battery, fuelled by avarice.
Larfleeze and a few other aliens planned to make the biggest heist the universe has ever seen and raided Maltus.
