    John Stewart is the most qualified Green Lantern being a Marine he has the will and bravery to weild the ring. His Architecture backgrounds gives him the creativity to make complex constructs. While Hal's pilot background shows he has bravery and Kyle's being an cartoonist makes him good for creativity. John really had the best of both.

    I grew up on the JLU animated series and growing up John Stewart was one of my favorites. As a young black kid growing up his character was a inspiration.

    I loved when he made the mech suit when the justice league was turned into kids in the show.

    John Stewart says he doesn't want to wear a mask while being Green Lantern but Hal Jordan is the only Green Lantern I've ever seen where a mask

      @Super Sentai Guy100 right I forgot about those guys so I'll rephrase that the majority of Green Lanterns don't where mask
