Biography

Ganthet is one of the Guardians of the Universe. However, where most of the Guardians are very stern 'by-the-book' characters, Ganthet has a personality that is more human-like, including displays of empathy and concern for an individual, instead of only thinking of the Green Lantern Corps.

Injustice Comic

Pre-Comic

Ganthet, along with the rest of the Guardians of the Universe, made the decision to allow Krypton to be destroyed instead of using their great power to intervene.

Year Two

Ganthet makes his first appearance in chapter three of the Year Two comic series.

On the planet Oa, Ganthet has been observing the unfolding events on planet Earth and has become concerned. When questioned by his fellow Guardians, Ganthet reveals that a large power shift has taken place on the planet, and advises his brothers not to ignore the Earth any longer, less they risk themselves in a wider conflict. When questioned if he asked Hal Jordan of Earth's current status, Ganthet hesitates before revealing that he is concerned with how closely Jordan is involved in the shifting powers on Earth.

Firmly believing that the events on Earth need closer inspection, he suggests summoning Guy Gardner before them. After Gardner arrives, he is less than convinced about Ganthet's concerns until Ganthet reveals Kyle Rayner went missing shortly before arriving on Earth. Though Gardner becomes more than ready to leave and find his friend, Ganthet reveals he will not be going alone.

Ganthet reappears at the end of chapter four alongside Guy Gardner on Earth, confronting Hal Jordan outside of Congress, telling the Lantern to take him to Superman.

In the next chapter at the Hall of Justice, Ganthet meets with Superman, and after reminding the Man of Steel that he has aided the Guardians in the past and that he is there on Earth as an ambassador and friend. only to advise and not to interfere, his advice to Superman is simple: "Stop what you're doing." Kal-El insists that he is protecting the people of Earth, Ganthet argues that he is trying to control them.

When Superman argues that he is one of them, Ganthet reminds him that he is not, and further explains that while the Guardians have enormous power, sometimes not using their power is the hardest choice to make and that the people of Earth must be allowed to follow their own path without interference. Superman suddenly asks if the Guardians allowed Krypton's destruction.

Ganthet is silent, and this silence shocks Hal Jordan and enrages Superman.

The Man of Steel is furious that Ganthet would lecture him on responsibility after choosing to doom Krypton, but Ganthet counters that the Kryptonians doomed themselves. Both Kryptonian and Guardian rise into the air, Ganthet's body glowing with the emerald energy of willpower while Superman's eyes glow red. Ganthet declares, "We will not allow you to rule over these people, Kal-El of Krypton!"

When Superman asks if that is a threat, Ganthet responds, "It is a warning." Guy Gardner tries to calm the two down but Superman orders Ganthet to leave the planet. Disappointed in Superman's current state of mind, Ganthet declares his leave for Oa and orders Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner to follow him.

In the next chapter, Ganthet is seen observing Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris from a window outside Ferris Aircraft, prompting a crack from Guy about his omniscience. Ganthet informs Jordan that it is time to leave, and after Hal explains how uncomfortable he is about leaving Earth, Ganthet tells him Guy Gardner will be taking his place.
