The neon glare of Central City flickers as a lone vigilante stands amidst the aftermath of a thwarted bank heist. Green Lantern descends, his ring projecting a luminous, emerald hand that clamps firmly onto the hero’s shoulder. The air hums with cosmic energy as John Stewart hovers close, his expression stern yet inviting. With a flash of light, the scene dissolves, transporting both figures to the pristine, high-tech interior of the Watchtower. There, surrounded by the world’s greatest heroes, the loner is finally brought to their attention, the weight of their collective gaze pressing down.
