Battle of Alcatraz

History
Battle of Alcatraz was a full-scale battle with the JLA, the Titans, Lantern Corps, and several arms of the US Armed Forces against just five members of the Sinestro Corps.

Notably, during the batle Abin Sur was blasted by Sinestro into the fighter jet piloted by Captain Hal Jordan, forcing the pilot to crash land in the bay below the Golden Gate Bridge. Jordan was able to eject from his aircraft and managed to swim himself and the dying alien to shore. As Hal tried to radio for help, Abin Sur scanned Hal with his ring and took him by the hand and slipped his ring off his own hand, placing in on the pilot’s middle finger, making him a new Green Lantern.

The battle also claimed life of Lauren Snyder's parents, which ignited her growing wrath.
