It's actually kind of amazing that in all the reboots, Elseworlds, and parallel Earths, we never got Tom as Earth's Green Lantern.
Well, he's supposed to be the hero of an entire SECTOR. If he goes after street crime on Earth he'll have to go after street crime on every planet in his sector and how much time will THAT use up?
The fact that Hal throws in a probable ethnic slur makes this all the better.

Tom was too busy getting super computer powers or whatever the hell was going on in New Guardians,
ReplyDeleteAhem; I believe you are confusing Tom with the Japanese guy, "RAM".

ReplyDeleteTo be fair, that would be like sending SEAL Teams off after a purse-snatcher.
