10 Best Superhero Successors
5. John Stewart - Green Lantern
When it comes to the Green Lanterns, there have been several excellent newer incarnations to choose from - especially when talking about those protecting Sector-2814 - but out of all of them, the best is probably John Stewart.
After Hal Jordan's first replacement, Guy Gardener, was taken out of action after being hit by a car, Stewart became Earth's other Lantern, providing a much more dignified service than that of his predecessor, one that didn't involve being knocked out by Batman in one punch during his time on the League.
Speaking of which, as fans of both Justice League Unlimited and Scott Snyder's current run on the main JL book will certainly testify to, John's time as part of DC's premiere superhero team has also made him beloved by fans the world over.
