So I just finished up parts four and five of the War of the Green Lanterns. And I gotta say I kinda saw this coming. But for the most part I'm glad to see Kyle as a blue lantern. I think he looks pretty damn cool.

What are your thoughts on him as a blue light wielding lantern?

I get the feeling that Kyle is going to find some powers or abilities or at least uses of the Blue rings we haven't seen yet. The fact that they were all kinda shocked that he'd pick the least useful ring to me means he's going to make it useful.

It wont last, Kyle's going to die at the end of the arc. ****ing Johns.

" @PrinceIMC:  I agree. I have a funny feeling he is going to find a way to merge the two rings (green and blue) and become a Blue-Green Lantern that is doesn't need to charge his green ring as long as he is hoping while using his will to use the green ring to make constructs. "

Honestly, I don't like it because I don't think Kyle is the best lantern to embody HOPE. I think Hal should be the Blue Lantern (you know, like he was supposed to be according to Ganthet and Sayd's original plan) plus he was double ring-slinging during Rage of the Red Lanterns and Agent Orange.  Kyle should be Yellow again. He was Parallax for a pretty long time, and was in the Sinestro Corps before. I really don't see Hal being able "to cause great fear" among anyone except a few Sinestro Corps and Red Lanterns, and that shouldn't be enough for him to wield that ring.

Among all of the 4 earth GLs, Kyle embodies hope batter than any of them. He's a dreamer as an artist, and he kept the dream of the GL corps alive, and eventually revived it against all odds.

Ganthet and Sayd didn't want Hal to lead the Blue Lanterns as a Blue Lantern. The Blue Lanterns need a Green Lantern to function, and Ganthet said Hal's will could power the entire corps.

Hal wasn't double ringslinging during Rage of the Red lanterns, his green ring went inert, but for some odd reason Guy Gardner was able to wield green and red at the same time when he thought Kyle had died.

Kyle was not Parallax for very long at all. While Hal was Parallax for a very long time, before that he had wielded Sinestro's ring in the Justice Story arc, and in the Sinestro Corps War he wielded several qwardian rings at once, he also became parallax again in GL 50, so he has the most experience with the power of fear.

Kyle should have blue and a green power ring.

I'm going with foreshadowing. I honestly believe that something major is going to happen to Kyle regarding the blue ring. He is going to unlock the rings full potential some way. Or at least something to that effect.

Thanks for the spoiler warning! Not all of us are current. -___-

I think it's a little weird that someone who was once the host for the green entity so readily slips into the role of a blue lantern. I mean, he might be the most hopeful earth-based GL, but he's still traditionally a willpower guy.
