Character biography

[edit]

Tomar-Re is a Xudarian, a bird-like alien and former scientist from the planet Xudar in Sector 2813.[2] After joining the Green Lantern Corps, he serves in its Honor Guard; trains new members, most prominently Arisia Rrab; and befriends Hal Jordan.

Tomar-Re sought to stablize the planet Krypton using the rare compound stellarium, but was stopped by a solar flare, and Krypton exploded shortly afterward.[3][4]

Tomar-Re is later killed by Goldface and succeeded by his son Tomar-Tu. He has largely remained dead since, but has appeared as a spirit and was temporarily resurrected as a Black Lantern in Blackest Night.[5]
