The first black superhero in DC comics. From what I remember, John Stewart look is loosely based on the actor Sidney Poitier. Even Batman admitted that John Stewart that out of all the green lanterns he has the strongest will.
Always loved the Green Lantern Hal Jordan but when they introduced John Stewart in the early 70s he became my favorite. During the late 80s while serving in the Marines I read alot of john Stewart green lantern when I could. Loved him even more when they added the Marine part of his back round🇺🇸I did not know it was the jl animated series that put the corps in his history. Great John Stewart review/ history video learned a bit more about him after this great video. Thank you👍
Jon is one of the best Green Lanterns but also one of the best heroes overall. I love his fight the good fight, not the “angry black man”, great character development & HE’S A MARINE (sorry I’m a little bias on that lol). Im glad he’s getting more time in the current Justice League run.💯🔥🙅🏾♂️
When Snyder put him on and not Jordan I was like "This guy gets it". He's probably had the most character development of almost any character in DC. He's been to hell and back and sent a lot more people to that sweet good night in return lol
Blerd Without Fear right! I haven’t seen a role he hasn’t excelled at. As a comic fan the very first time I saw Idris I thought of John Stew. It’s never escaped my #1 draft pick to this day lol. Love the videos! Have a great day
the justice league cartoon was what introduced most dc characters to me (other than the big three), so when other shows had hal jordan, I was thinking "who's this guy?" because jon Stewart was the only human GL I really knew about.
Same here. I didn't know who Hal was until like.... WAY later. And by that point I had already been introduced to John. But John is still my guy. I like Hal and all.... but John is the homie.
John was established as the Green Lantern through the Justice League cartoon, when the Green Lantern movie came out in 2011 most of the kids in the theater I was in said, "Green Lantern is black, why did they make him white in the movie?" The cartoon that they grew up on had John Stewart and many of them hadn't read the comics to know that there were other Green Lanterns.
One thing I liked about John Stewart on the Justice League cartoon was that the energy from the ring was actually a part of his body. That's why his eyes were green.
Thank you for creating this! I started reading comics about 6 years ago and I was instantly pulled towards John. I even had a tattoo of him done on my forearm! Again, thank you for sharing this and you have definitely gained a new subscriber!
John is definitely my favorite Green Lantern. I was a kid when Justice League was on Cartoon Network and he's my first Green Lantern. I didn't know about the DC lore and the first time I saw Hal, I was like "What the hell? He's white! Where's John?"
My guy Johnny Stew💪🏾💪🏾 the only Lantern I knew growing up, my only DC knowledge came from the cartoons and he was the only one for years. Wasnt until the movie that I realised there were others
John Stewart is the only Lantern that really matters, honestly. The rest are cool and all. But John is my guy. Hands down. Dude has the best constructs in the game. Accept no substitutes
DC constantly wanting to move Hal to the front and protect his 'shining hero status" meant John Stewart was thrown into all kinds of weird things (Mosaic) and take bigger risks ((destruction of Xanshi). That ended up creating a more interesting and well-rounded character. That is why he is my second favorite Lantern (Kyle Rayner, the answer is Kyle Rayner) P.S. as you mentioned, John is from my neck of the woods (Detroit)... were Ernie Hudson went to college at Wayne State University. From you I learned he maybe played John's dad. Pretty neat in my book.
Yeah I'd say so. Nice little full circle going there. Fortunately, John is getting the spot light at the moment, but even when he does people always focus on Hal. I never cared for him Hal. Kyle is ok I guess. I never read Green Lantern during his run.
That's a good way to kick off Black History Month I really enjoyed Jon Stewart myself. And if DC really want it to capitalize on a black superhero then why didn't they drop play John Stewart Green Lantern movie this February like Marvel did but black panther.
That would've made too much since and lately, DC Comics/Warner Bros. don't like doing things that make sense. If I were them, John would have a movie, an animated series tie-in, toys, a McDonald's happy meal promo... EVERYTHING.
@@BlerdWithoutFear so true so true! And on another note I really enjoyed watching your debate with Eric July. It was like watching Eric as Magneto and you Ernie as Professor Xavier coming to discuss their views on the island of Krakatoa. Or to put it another way Malcolm X and dr. Martin Luther King jr. Having a real Hart to Hart debate both of you guys handled your selves smart intelligent black human beings. And if that's not what black history is all about and I don't know what is.
Why? Black Panther is from a fictional Africa royalty, and Stewart is a veteran architect from the states. They wouldn’t have a lot in common other than their ethnicity. This is a weird thing to happen.
Man this was SO well done! I agree with all that was said! If they are going to incorporate GL on the silver screen it HAS to be Jon Stewart! JS will always be my favorite GL. He has the my sound characteristics followed by Guy Gardner IMO. Good job!!
Thank you, JermHD! Fingers crossed they keep doing right by Stewart because he's the best Lantern, period. He's always the one I think about when I hear someone say Green Lantern
@@BlerdWithoutFear WOW, didn't KNOW John Stewart's Green Arrow went bck that FAR, I just THOUGHT he was the GUY who REPLACED Guy Gardner in the Comics & was on the NEW JLU Cartoon. THANKS MAN... Now I KNOW & KNOW'N Is HALF The BATTLE... G.I. JO... SORRY, WRONG CB Company... lol
Greatness video BlerdWithoutFear!! Great information and conversation!! I looked John Steward info recently cause my barber wanted some Black comic book character books and when I reviewed and read of John Stewards’ storyline I considered him a Specialty Green Lantern from his powers and leadership! Green Lantern Mosiac I will pick up for the covers....John Steward vs the KKK!! Thanks for all your informative videos!!
I EFFING LOVE💚💕💗JOHN STEWART GREEN LANTERN JOHN STEWART GREEN LANTERN IS ALWAYS AND FOREVER ♾️ IS MY FAVORITE🤩😍💚GREEN LANTERN OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is so good bro I learn so much and on top of that your one of the few comic TH-camrs that actually do black superheroes a specially during black history month. keep up the great work
Thank you blurd. I appreciate this. And happy black history month bro. I'm not into DC that much. But this is the best damn green lantern IMO. Keep up the good work. I really appreciate all you do for us all. Hold it down fam🙌🏾✊🏾✌🏾💯💖
Man, Ghost would make a great Jon Stewart, lol! Omari Hardwick has the look and seriousness. Jon is my favorite Lantern followed by Kyle. Like you, I didn't get into Hal Jordan til Parallax and Final Night. And Guy... an agry, ginger with a bowl cut... he was born behind the 8 ball, lol!
Same here, fam! I won't lie though, the Hal & the Corps series made me respect Guy a lot more, but you ain't lying... I slick thought he might be subbing for the Klan sometimes back in the day until I realized John was his ace lol
Great Research once again. I'm thankful that Star Sapphire Conversion for J. Stewart did not last for too long. The Ultraviolet allowed him to defeat the Justice League and his punch-out of Hal Jordan (SF2) style was hard hitting (Green Lantern Corps #26 Year 2013).
While John isn't my favourite (I'm a Kyle guy), he might have the most interesting character arc of all the Green Lanterns. From being young and having a chip on his shoulder, to chilling while finding love & marriage. Then, losing his wife, being tortured by an apartheid government, only to cope with all that by diving head first into arrogant superheroing... which caused a planet's destruction. We've seen him completely broken and rebuilt. He's the most pragmatic and mature of the Lanterns, willing to make hard choices. Thought it was perfect when he was the Corps leader. AND, despite me disliking whenever DC gives a GL some gimmick to help them stand out, I actually really dug what John did with converting the Ultraviolet powers.
Two Afro-American DC heroes that debuted before John Stewart were Malcolm Duncan of the Teen Titans (April 1970) and Walter "Flippa Dippa" Johnson of the second incarnation of the Newsboy Legion (Oct. 1970).
@@BlerdWithoutFear What's weird is, I envision that for his character. I thought it would be dope. I had no idea it was a real thing. Thanks for the info.
E!!! Great video!! I think Jon Stewart is a great character that was flushed out so well in the Justice League cartoon. So thanks to the Great Dwayne McDuffie for being the guy in the room! And being that this was the 70's, I'm glad they didn't find a way to put the word Black in front of Green Lantern, although that's what everyone called him. Deep history for a historic character. You need to do a origin on the brotha in Red running across the roofs in the video intro!! +ultra homie
ART!!!! Thank you, my brother! McDuffie saw greatness and he knew we needed that character. One day we gone get a break down of ya boy, The Blerd lol. But the world ain't ready for that just yet 😂 Glad to hear from you, bro! PLUSULTRA, FAM!
I loved Mosaic. That series truly ingrained John Stewart to me when I was in my teens. It had a bit of an “Invisible Man” vibe to me. Been wanting to re-read it for a while now.
My fan cast for Stewart is Billy Brown from SoA and Ray Fearon for Blue Marvel...just sayin lol 😆. I'll never get used to calling a person "Fatality". Just super weird.
I loves me some Billy Brown. That dude is jacked. I wouldn't ever want that dude to pull up on me in a dark alley 😂. Yeah.... Fatality is a peak 80's/90's ass name 😂
Yeah they had been teasing it. When I made the video it was shortly before the final parts of Crisis aired, and then they made the reveal shortly after on the Arrow series finale
I've always loved John Stewart since JL and JLU. Watching this video made him more awesome for me! I wish WB or Zack Snyder would release the GL scene with Wayne T Carr. #RELEASETHEGREENLANTERNSCENE
Ernie, you totally got me on board for the John Stewart character now! Getting ready to start collecting all his back issues! Any omni’s or hardcovers that have his entire/best storylines I should check out?
Glade to hear you dug it! Unfortunately, John gets no love when it comes to collected editions. You "might" be able to find Mosaic or Cosmic Odyssey collected, but everything else is loose issues outside of the New 52 Green Lantern Corps comics and Rebirth's Hal Jordan & the Green Lantern Corps.
Great John Stewart background. I grew up with comic books so I already knew about Hal Jordan. He was also the featured Saturday morning TV show animated GL in the Superfriends. The TV shows after that switched to John Stewart, while the feature film and animated movies got Hal Jordan. If they decide to make a John Stewart movie they will need the budget to produce the complex CGI constructs. Since he's well known for them as the architect of the GL Corps. The studio will really need to take the time to assemble them right. That means no smashing through them like they're made out of glass. They need to react more like metal constructs. Anyway, I just hope if they make a movie they don't do that arm support thing. Suggested actor: Cirroc Lofton
I don't know how I missed this the first time I watched this vid but Marines say, "ooRAH!". The Army says, "OoAhh!" It's a subtle but important distinction to the enlisted.
I've always said would kill it Jon Stewart or if you were to race bend, as lex luthor since we know he has the chops to play a corrupted boss, Mastermind, calculated,self absorbed etc person in Power . An intimidating lex.
What's up Ernie? Just wanted to let you know you did the best you could during your discussion with young rippa. It's hard when one person is dominating the conversation.
Dominating conversation so true. At times the moments became a little cringe. I just see young as a purist. When it comes to the comics. And it nipicks a bit. And Blerd is more on the positive side. To put it simply it's a glass half full glass half empty type of situation. What I thought was going to happen did happen. People dominating conversation and tensions Rising. They just going to have to agree to disagree. It is what it is.
@@strawhat8458 I agree with Young Rippa on some of his points. He just does a poor job of explaining his point of view which causes him to talk over people or not let others speak.
Love that fam John Stewart is my dude crazy underrated. Dc has a cash cow on there hands and are messing it up. I would love for Tyrese Gibson to play him in a movie. Just saying
If I remember correctly Hal thought John was trying to fight the cops in his first appearance. He wasn't necessarily being a bigot, though the cops were, but rather he only seen the end of a bad situation.
I'm here after they announced the roster for the hbo max , John 's Mia , the roster is still noteworthy though , Guy Gardner , Simon baz , Jessica Cruz ,Alan scott and Sinestro , The pieces are finally coming together
Wanna know more about lesser known characters? Look no further!

The first black superhero in DC comics. From what I remember, John Stewart look is loosely based on the actor Sidney Poitier. Even Batman admitted that John Stewart that out of all the green lanterns he has the strongest will.
John is a bad ass. And you are correct, his look was based on Sidney Poitier originally. John also ain't scared to get in Batman's face either lol
@@BlerdWithoutFear I loved the part when John stood up to Batman after he kept badmouthing Hal. A really awesome moment.
John Stewart will Always be my Green Lantern.
24/7 365! The others are cool and all... But John is the homie.
Damn right.
John Stewart was incredible in JLU. My mans was gettin all the ladies in that show lmao

Thank you, Tony for protecting the country. I honestly think John becoming a marine really fleshed out his character and made him feel more realistic.
Blerd Without Fear Well, I also prefer him being an architect because it makes sense in terms of him becoming a Green Lantern.
Jon is one of the best Green Lanterns but also one of the best heroes overall. I love his fight the good fight, not the “angry black man”, great character development & HE’S A MARINE (sorry I’m a little bias on that lol). Im glad he’s getting more time in the current Justice League run.💯🔥🙅🏾♂️

I’ve always wanted to see Idris Elba as the Green Lantern. Looks perfect for the role and is an amazing actor
I would like to see that, too. Hell, Idris in anything really lol

Trevante Rhodes as Jon Stewart just putting it out there.
I'd have picked him if I hadn't already used him for Mister Terrific
He is definitely a skilled actor but I’d go with Idris Elba or Aldis Hodge
Nah Michael jai white
I wanted Rhodes to be blade but it’s taken so him as John Stewart is best casting choice
Childish_Markeeloo nah Wesley snipes was perfect for blade, Michael jai white is too buff to be blade

Hell yeah! John Stewart is easily one of my all time favs. He deserves a solo series
@@BlerdWithoutFear Agreed! He should have had one a long time ago!
I love how these artists made john stewart one of only 3black super heros..that's cool
And during a time when it was frowned upon to do so
He is my favorite green lantern
He's got the cred, too. Green Lantern GOAT, as far as I'm concerned.
My fan cast for Stewart is Billy Brown from SoA and Ray Fearon for Blue Marvel...just sayin lol 😆. I'll never get used to calling a person "Fatality". Just super weird.
I loves me some Billy Brown. That dude is jacked. I wouldn't ever want that dude to pull up on me in a dark alley 😂. Yeah.... Fatality is a peak 80's/90's ass name 😂
I think Trevante Rhodes definitely has the imposing physicality to be John or another powerful black character
I almost used him but I forgot I used him for Mister Terrific last year.
@@BlerdWithoutFear thats actually a super dope casting as well
My favorite justice league member next to Batman. John is just the epitome of coolness with his black and green suit
John Stewart to me is my favorite green lantern. And he is the greatest green lantern
One of the best breakdowns i have seen out there about my favorite lantern
Thank you I never knew all of John stewards History and always thought that John on arrow was John stewards I hope they keep him in the Arrow verse
Thank you, Tony! From what I understand Diggle has officially become a Lantern, or at least has the ring. Maybe he'll be on the HBO Max series?
Badass.
That is all.

I have GL #87. trying to get Neal Adams to sign it
That's a Mount Rushmore signing right there!
Apparently her is John Diggle. According to the CW.
Yeah they had been teasing it. When I made the video it was shortly before the final parts of Crisis aired, and then they made the reveal shortly after on the Arrow series finale

Glade to hear you dug it! Unfortunately, John gets no love when it comes to collected editions. You "might" be able to find Mosaic or Cosmic Odyssey collected, but everything else is loose issues outside of the New 52 Green Lantern Corps comics and Rebirth's Hal Jordan & the Green Lantern Corps.
Great John Stewart background. I grew up with comic books so I already knew about Hal Jordan. He was also the featured Saturday morning TV show animated GL in the Superfriends. The TV shows after that switched to John Stewart, while the feature film and animated movies got Hal Jordan.
If they decide to make a John Stewart movie they will need the budget to produce the complex CGI constructs. Since he's well known for them as the architect of the GL Corps. The studio will really need to take the time to assemble them right. That means no smashing through them like they're made out of glass. They need to react more like metal constructs. Anyway, I just hope if they make a movie they don't do that arm support thing.
Suggested actor: Cirroc Lofton
IF IM WEARING MY CASTING DIRECTOR HAT, I THINK IDRIS ELBA WOULD GREAT FOR THE ROLE OF JOHN STEWART.
Thats fair
I like Guy Gardner, he reminds of one of those cool white boys you need in your team
Guy was definitely hanging out in the black and brown neighborhoods.
Except Guy is a hard-head, and not much of a team player.
This really was awesome, bro. Thank you
I don't know how I missed this the first time I watched this vid but Marines say, "ooRAH!". The Army says, "OoAhh!" It's a subtle but important distinction to the enlisted.
I've always said would kill it Jon Stewart or if you were to race bend, as lex luthor since we know he has the chops to play a corrupted boss, Mastermind, calculated,self absorbed etc person in Power . An intimidating lex.
I wouldn't mind a black Lex played by Hardwick either. Hell, he'd put some seasoning on that old dry bird and make him even more interesting
Omari Hardwick would be perfect!
Dude just got that edge! He'd be so gangsta as Stewart
What's up Ernie? Just wanted to let you know you did the best you could during your discussion with young rippa. It's hard when one person is dominating the conversation.
Okay, but what happened to the video? I really wanted to see it.
@@thenightmonkey5932 It wasn't streamed on this channel. You are going to have to watch it on Young Rippa's channel.
Dominating conversation so true. At times the moments became a little cringe. I just see young as a purist. When it comes to the comics. And it nipicks a bit. And Blerd is more on the positive side. To put it simply it's a glass half full glass half empty type of situation. What I thought was going to happen did happen. People dominating conversation and tensions Rising. They just going to have to agree to disagree. It is what it is.
@@strawhat8458 I agree with Young Rippa on some of his points. He just does a poor job of explaining his point of view which causes him to talk over people or not let others speak.
@@Bruticus31 Also, thank you for telling me.
Badass marine and architect
He can design a sturdy building and snipe a fly off a duck's ass from across two planets... You don't mess with this guy
@@BlerdWithoutFear Also he has a stable life outside of heroism, Jon is my fave for a reason. Take away the power and he will still kick your ass.
The Black green lantern is my favorite but if it's not voiced by Philip Lamar then I'm let down.
Broooo I knew nothing about him. It’s good to know there such an OP Lantern ring.
John Stewart for 2020
Get this man on the ballot!!!!
LOL...Phil Lamar is mostly known for those over 35 years old as a cast member of MAD TV before doing voice acting
I've been saying Omari Hardwick should play John Stewart for years!
He's got the look, the talent. DC, we're giving you this one for free!
Mal Duncan(in a superhero role) predates John by an entire year
Curious on yer thoughts on cyborg in JLA, and not the titans. Myself wish that they used Steel.
I'm not the biggest Steel fan. He's cool, but of have rather it been Black Lightning or Mister Terrific or Vixen
Love that fam John Stewart is my dude crazy underrated. Dc has a cash cow on there hands and are messing it up. I would love for Tyrese Gibson to play him in a movie. Just saying
One day DC are gonna realize they got something special. John Stewart is my Green Lantern. Book him strong.
@@BlerdWithoutFear I totally agree fam. I mean the man made a whole infantry in darkest day. Who else is that gangsta.
Good video bro. Would love to see more of these Blerd Without Fear!!!
If I remember correctly Hal thought John was trying to fight the cops in his first appearance. He wasn't necessarily being a bigot, though the cops were, but rather he only seen the end of a bad situation.
I remember him mostly from the old cartoon network justice league series.
John has always been the best green lantern honestly they really force the others on the readers
