Biography[]

“	Of all the threat the Corps ever faced...the gravest was an entity of fear known as Parallax. Only the legendary Green Lantern Abin Sur...was capable of capturing and imprisoning this beast...which he did on the lost planet of Ryut.	„
	~ Backstory of Paralllax

Parallax was inadvertently created when Krona, a Guardian, tried to harness the Yellow Light of Fear for good. This backfired as the Light of Fear consumed the Guardian and transformed him into the monstrous Parallax.

Parallax caused great destruction on Oa and attempted to destroy the universe until he was imprisoned on the planet Ryut by the Green Lantern Abin Sur.

Years later, alien astronauts came to his prison, accidentally freeing them. After absorbing the astronauts' souls, Parallax escape the Lost Sector and started wreaking havoc across the universe. He kills four Green Lanterns and destroys two planets before attacking Sector 2814 and mortally wounding the man who imprisoned him Abin Sur. Abin Sur escapes from Parallax and crashes on Earth. Abin Sur commands his ring to find to a Ferris Aircraft test pilot Hal Jordan.

Green Lantern Sinestro is acknowledged of Parallax's return and attacks him with squadron of Lanterns, but who are easily defeated and killed. Meanwhile, a portion of Parallax from the body of Abin Sur contacted high school professor Hector Hammond as he was doing an autopsy on the body. Parallax offers Hammond to be his herald, giving him telekinesis, which turned his brain larger and his eyes yellow.

After Hector subdues Hal and kills his own father, he kidnaps Hal Jordan's girlfriend Carol Ferris and tries to inject her with Parallax's DNA. Hal removes his ring and offers it to Hector in exchange for Carol. Hector takes the ring and tries to wield its powers against Hal, but Hal revealed that in order to wield the ring you have to be chosen. The energy from the rings attacks Hector, smashing him to the ground. After Hector's defeat, Parallax arrives on Earth and tells Hector that he failed him for not killing Hal. He absorbs Hector's soul, reducing him to a rotten corpse. Hal tries to reach his ring so he can fight Parallax, but the cosmic entity got lifts him from the ground and taunts him about being nothing without the rin. Parallax begins to steal Hal's soul when Carol launches rockets at Parallax and passes the ring to Hal who become Green Lantern once again.

Parallax begins to attack Hal's home city Coast City, killing many civilians until he is opposed by Hal. Hal and Parallax take their battle to space where Hal trick him into going near the Earth's sun where he gets caught by the sun's gravitational field and gets burned to death. However, Sinestro, after witnessing the power of Fear, makes a ring of Yellow Power Ring, becoming the first Yellow Lantern and allowing Parallax to keep acting through Sinestro.
