Fictional character biography
Early years
Tomar-Tu is born on the Mosaic World, a composite planet created by rogue Guardian Appa Ali Apsa.[1][2] After helping the Green Lanterns defeat Apsa, Tomar returns to the Mosaic World and attempts to promote peace among its factions.[3][4][5][6] After the conflict ends, Tomar and Kreon are chosen to become Green Lanterns.[7]
Green Lantern of Sector 2813
As a rookie Lantern, Tomar is trained by Kilowog, who often tells him tales of past Green Lanterns. His first recorded mission has him battle Eclipso, who has possessed Hal Jordan.[8][9]
Tomar's later missions as Green Lantern include a fight against Entropy. Despite not believing in the cause he was fighting for, he still stands by and protects his fellow Lanterns.[10] Yet in another mission, he was called to the planet Maltus to aid Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps against the Triarch.[11] On the Guardians' homeworld, the Green Lanterns fight alternately against and alongside L.E.G.I.O.N. and the Darkstars.[12][13]
Emerald Twilight and beyond
In Emerald Twilight, Jordan seemingly kills Tomar-Tu after becoming Parallax.[14][15] However, he is later discovered to be alive, having been captured by the Manhunters and harboring a grudge against Jordan.[16][17][18]
He was returned to active duty soon afterward and was seen with the other Lost Lanterns before the Sinestro Corps attacked.[19][20] He is then seen again aiding the Lost Lanterns in rescuing Ion from Qward.[21] He then joins Jordan and Graf in rescuing John Stewart and Guy Gardner.[22]
