I voted John

I never thought that much of Hal, the stories I liked Hal in back int he late 80's/early 90s had him being right and level headed over Guy. I couldn't stand Guy. Hal by himself, pre-Johns massive retcon was a boring guy imo.

John was flawed and had a massive burden he knew and felt he had to atone for every day. I was one of, probably, only 18 people who bought, read and enjoyed his first solo series GL:Mosaic.
He then late 90's got his time in the sun as the featured GL in the cartoon.

My runner-up would be Kyle. Tough choice for me between the two. I also agree this should be in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy forum.

I was one of the other 17, at least for a few issues. For some reason, I stopped collecting about 10 issues or so in. A few years ago, I hunted down the series again and I think I'm only missing an issue or two. I really loved the way Jones weaved in philosophy into the comic and while most (all?) of it is forgotten and/or retconned, it was a great way to showcase John.

Charlie Vickers.

:rommie: I was wondering when someone would bring up good ol' Charlie. May he rest in peace.
 
I'd give a higher ranking to DCAU John than DCU or even New 52 John. I just feel that since Mosiac, writers really haven't found anything interesting to do with him.
 
And recreating John from Mosiac by the next successive teams of authors would have been exhausting finding all those relevant quotes because he's impossibly well read.
 
True, plus the end of Mosiac had him being a Guardian and all, so, yeah, there's that...
 
Is that any worse than kyle who fathered the Guardians?

Random Guardian "We are billions of years old!"

Kyle "No, I made you like a microwave casserole about 3 years ago."
 
I'm suddenly aware that I haven't read the last issue of Mosiac and may not in fact own it despite spending 20 years looking for them all (at reasonable prices.).

Does John turn blue?
 
No, but he gets his own red Guardian dress.
