He investigated reports of abuses of power by [[Sinestro]] on Korugar. He was close friends with [[Abin Sur]], Green Lantern of neighboring sector 2814. He was also the first Lantern to meet Sur's replacement, [[Hal Jordan]], and the two got along equally well. Pre-Crisis they first met when Tomar contacted Green Lantern about a threat to a world in his sector, which was happening at the same time alien invaders were attacking Tomar's world. Hal stopped the threat, then helped Tomar defeat the invaders, who hastily left the world.

In the [[Post-Crisis]] timeline, that friendship is deepened further in that the rookie Jordan met him soon after being recruited. Jordan was brought to him by his [[power ring (DC Comics)|power ring]] to help with his difficulties with handling the weapon and Tomar-Re not only guided the Terran to GLC headquarters for the optional training program, but also provided valuable emotional support during this difficult time.

Tomar's most famous mission while serving in the Corps dealt with the planet [[Krypton (comics)|Krypton]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Eury |first1=Michael |title=The Krypton Companion |date=2006 |publisher=TwoMorrows Publishing |isbn=9781893905610 |page=30}}</ref> Krypton, a planet in sector 2813, was growing increasingly unstable. It was due to explode, caused by internal pressures deep inside the planet's core. Tomar-Re sought to use a rare compound called stellarium to absorb some of the [[plate tectonics|tectonic pressure]], thus saving the Kryptonians. He gathered the compound, and was en route to Krypton when a yellow [[solar flare]] blinded him, and forced him to drop the stellarium. He quickly recovered, but discovered he was blind. He gathered what little stellarium he could without his sight, and proceeded towards Krypton. He was closing in when his vision started to clear. The first thing he saw upon his sight returning was Krypton exploding. The [[Guardians of the Universe|Guardians]] recovered Tomar and brought him back to [[Oa (comics)|Oa]], where he healed and rested. Tomar-Re was not aware at the time that his temporary blindness was responsible for the creation of [[Superman]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Cowsill |first1=Alan |last2=Irvine |first2=Alex |last3=Korte |first3=Steve |last4=Manning |first4=Matt |last5=Wiacek |first5=Win |last6=Wilson |first6=Sven |title=The DC Comics Encyclopedia: All-New Edition |date=2016 |publisher=DK Publishing |isbn=978-1-4654-5357-0 |page=311}}</ref>

He grew to be an honored senior member of the Corps, but his later career was not without cost. The most difficult moment was during the [[Nekron]] crisis when the death god used the spirit of Tomar-Re's deceased father to attempt to sway the Lantern to surrender. Although tempted, Tomar kept to his oath and destroyed his father's spirit to continue the battle, much to his personal anguish.

Tomar-Re debuted in Green Lantern (vol. 2) #6 (May–June 1961) in a story written by John Broome with art by Gil Kane.[1]

Character biography

Tomar-Re was a Xudarian, a race of aliens from the planet Xudar in Sector 2813 (in his first Pre-Crisis appearance he claimed it was Sector 9). He was a scientist on his homeworld before joining the Green Lantern Corps and becoming the Green Lantern of Sector 2813.[2] Tomar-Re became a pivotal member of the Corps, training new members, like Arisia, and serving in the Honor Guard. He investigated reports of abuses of power by Sinestro on Korugar. He was close friends with Abin Sur, Green Lantern of neighboring sector 2814. He was also the first Lantern to meet Sur's replacement, Hal Jordan, and the two got along equally well. Pre-Crisis they first met when Tomar contacted Green Lantern about a threat to a world in his sector, which was happening at the same time alien invaders were attacking Tomar's world. Hal stopped the threat, then helped Tomar defeat the invaders, who hastily left the world. Hal first found out about the Guardians from Tomar, who mentioned they wanted the Green Lanterns to be equal which is why the Power Battery recharges their rings for the same time period. In the post-Crisis timeline, that friendship is deepened further in that the rookie Jordan met him soon after being recruited. Jordan was brought to him by his power ring to help with his difficulties with handling the weapon and Tomar-Re not only guided the Terran to GLC headquarters for the optional training program, but also provided valuable emotional support during this difficult time.

Tomar's most famous mission while serving in the Corps dealt with the planet Krypton, which he sought to stabilize using a rare compound called stellarium.[3] He was en route to Krypton when a solar flare blinded him and forced him to drop the stellarium. The first thing he saw upon his sight returning was Krypton exploding. The Guardians recovered Tomar and brought him back to Oa, where he recovered.[4]

He grew to be an honored senior member of the Corps, but his later career was not without cost. The most difficult moment was during the Nekron crisis when the death god used the spirit of Tomar-Re's deceased father to attempt to sway the Lantern to surrender. Although tempted, Tomar kept to his oath and destroyed his father's spirit to continue the battle, much to his anguish.

Tomar was retired when the Anti-Monitor sought to conquer the multiverse. He still served alongside the Corps, including John Stewart, who had become the GL for 2814. The war against the Anti-Monitor would be Tomar's final fight, as he was killed by Goldface. This was part of a larger confrontation against the Weaponers of Qward. Before his death, Tomar-Re selected Stewart to be his replacement, thus forcing John's ring to go to Jordan, who had resigned from the Corps, and returning him to the organization.[5] Years later, his son, Tomar-Tu, would follow his father's footsteps as a Green Lantern after getting his own ring.[6]

Blackest Night

During the Blackest Night event, Tomar-Re is revived as a Black Lantern.[7] After the events of the War of the Green Lanterns, Hal Jordan and Sinestro are trapped in the Dead Zone by the Guardians of the Universe (who have become unemotional), until they encounter a mysterious figure lurking in the zone observing them.[8] This mysterious stranger says he was Hal's friend and Sinestro's enemy, and states that they are both dead.[9] The mysterious stranger is revealed to be Tomar-Re, who asks Hal and Sinestro to stop Volthoom (The First Lantern) before he can alter history. Hal and Sinestro are then confronted by the dead members in the Dead Zone.[10] When Hal questions how Tomar-Re knew this, he explains that those beings who had died gathered information in the Dead Zone. Later, they are approached by Green Lantern Simon Baz who was transported by Black Hand to the Dead Zone and pulled him back after he split his ring which Sinestro claimed and unintentionally went with him, leaving Hal trapped in the Zone. Tomar views that Sinestro will not take Volthoom down easily.[11] After Tomar unsuccessfully tries to persuade Hal from killing himself to gain a Black Lantern ring and escape the Dead Zone to stop Volthoom, he is pleasantly surprised when Hal's plan succeeds.[12]

In DC Rebirth, Hal Jordan meets with Tomar-Re after being transported into the Emerald Space, an afterlife for fallen Green Lanterns.[13]
