Before Hal Jordan became Green Lantern of Space Sector 2814, Abin Sur held that position. Originally a history professor on the planet Ungara, Sur took the position of Green Lantern in the mid 1860's. He fought on Earth during the American West and during WWII, helping Starman and Alan Scott combat Mister Mind. After a mission to the planet Ysmault, where he encounters the Five Inversions, he is told of a prophecy, the Prophecy of the Emotional Spectrum and that he will die, filled with fear unable to stop the prophecy. That death comes to fruition when, as he lays dying, the victim of fear, something a Green Lantern cannot have, his ring summons Hal Jordan to succeed him. Abin Sur will be played by Temuera Morrison in the upcoming Green Lantern movie.
