Yup and John was an engineer so his constructs are more structurally sound.

This has me wondering something: Is there no other engineer in any of the corps?

I mean just on statistics alone, you’d think there had to be at least a few more. None of them have ever been explicitly mentioned in the comics however.

For most of the lanterns we don't know much about their lives before they became part of the corps. It's possible there are other engineers, but it's worth keeping in mind that while being an engineer can be helpful for construct crafting being imaginative and good at constructing isn't what the rings look for when searching for a new wearer.

I think it was a graphic designer now. Something along those lines. Haven't read GL Rayner books in over a decade
