“ | You so-called Guardians stole my birthright. My father's ring belonged to me, not that Earth barbarian. When the last of the Green Lanterns dies by hand, I shall then destroy you. | „ |

History[]
Early life[]
Amon was born on the planet Ungara in Green Lantern Sector 2814 to parents Abin Sur and Munni Jah. He grew up to listen to the great stories of his legendary warrior father Abin who fought protecting his sector as a Green Lantern.
Avenging his father[]
Amon attended his father's funeral on Oa and expressed his gratitude towards Hal Jordan that his father met his successor. Unbeknownst to the Green Lantern Corps, Amon had sold out the Corps to their predecessors the Manhunters who attacked Oa to claim the Yellow Central Power Battery hidden in the forbidden chamber on Oa. After the Manhunters stole the Yellow power, they created a Yellow Power Staff for Amon to kill Hal Jordan and claim his father's ring. When Hal Jordan rescued his comrade Kilowog from the Manhunters base on Biot and discovered Amon's treachery, Jordan returned to Oa and confronted Amon which resulted in a lengthy battle in which Jordan ultimately triumphed with Amon being sent to the Sciencells before trial.
