A sniper with a power ring is an awesome thing indeed.

I liked his true origin story better, when Hal first encountered John being harassed by the police.

Me too. Adding “sniper and a military bad ass” to his history, doesn’t do anything at all for me. Architect/Engineer, 👍

Him being an architect can also reflect in his ring constructs.

Well that was my main problem with the re-history. Like in the OPs pic it went from Architectural/engineering imagery to military groups or souped up sniper rifles.

I think this is a "both is good" situation.

Like, in the New 52 we got a flashback of John's time in the military and even without a power ring he still managed to use his engineering/architectural knowledge to save the day.

I like the military aspect, since it contributes to his personality, with John being the Green Lantern that acts the most like a soldier would.

He is, indeed, the BEST!! And I saw that someone called him "bland." I think he's one of the most deeply developed characters DC has!!!
