In "Earth's Other Green Lantern!", Hal Jordan is shown a startling alternate reality where Guy Gardner, not he, was the first human chosen by Abin Sur to carry the power ring.

In "This is the Way... The World... Ends!", Green Lantern is thrust into Earth’s distant past by a fanatical alien scientist determined to erase humanity’s history of war and suffering by preventing life from ever emerging.
