What are the aspects of Olgrun and how did the Green Lantern get involved

Once upon a time, Olgrun was the most powerful god to ever exist, and he was able to create the most beautiful worlds and realms. But tragedy struck Olgru's world when his brother Bjoltr tricked Olgru into killing his daughter. Olgrun became fed up with rage and went crazy, smashing everything in his path. The Old Gods battled Olgrun and defeated them, but were unable to kill him due to his great strength. Instead, they hacked his power and split him into seven aspects of the Old God scattered throughout the DC Universe..

These aspects were hidden for centuries and Olgrün was largely forgotten. That is, until Superman ventures to Warworld to free his people from the rule of the Mongols. There, Clark heard Olgrun's story and discovered that Warworld was hiding such an aspect, Olgrun's Fire. Superman entered the heart of the planet and successfully acquired the aspect. But Instead of using Olgru's power to repair Clark's waning powers, Superman used it to revive Osul-Ra.A young Felosian boy looking up at the Man of Steel.

It wasn't long after that that the Shining Dead emerged from another part of the multiverse, only to find John Stewart and corrupt him in order to transform him into a vessel for Olgru's extended existence. The Green Lantern is kidnapped and trapped outside the Dark Star, the realm where Olgru lives. John meets Byla, who reveals that the Black Star was born from Queen Ajna's ring. With no other choice, The Green Lantern entered the Dark Star with the intention of retrieving the ring and ending the threat of Olgrun..

What does having the Olgrun aspect mean for a Green Lantern

The last to claim the Dark Star Ring was an ancient Malthusian, whose body became nothing more than a puppet for Olgru to control. But that's because the ring represents Olgru's will, and if there's one thing Jon Stewart has in abundance, it's willpower. Green Lantern has proven himself worthy of having the Black Star Ring and all the power it brings. John is already the strongest active Green Lantern, but Olgru's will more than put him over the top.

But when the aspects are found by an unworthy person, Olgrun is reborn and begins a dark age.

It's worth noting that even though John currently owns the Black Star Ring, many people in the DC Universe will want it for themselves. DC Comics' submissions for October have been announced Green Lantern Civilian Corps Special #1 and the information he provided revealed it Lord Premier Thaaros, the current head of the Green Lantern Corps, wants the Black Star Ring. Fans following Green lantern Know that there is no depth Thaaros will not sink to get what he wants.

It should also be noted that this is the second aspect of Olgru to be found. In Warworld, Superman was told that if the aspects were found and reunited by someone worthy, they would be reborn “as the hero he was meant to be”. But if the aspects find an unworthy person, Olgrun is reborn and begins a dark age. John is certainly a decent man, but The Green Lantern has a great responsibility to walk with a new, divine power.

Now that Olgrun has the will, what's next for the Green Lantern?

Although the Shining Dead torment Jon for months, he finally has the power to defeat them once and for all. But once word gets out about the Dark Star Ring, the most cunning people in the DC Universe will fight for it. Few can really challenge Jon, but he'll want to keep his guard down from now on. Now that Green lantern possesses one of the most powerful Rings of Power in existence, it's up to him to ensure it stays in the right hands.
