Like the US Army, intergalactic Green Lantern Corps integrated long before most civilian, non-fictional organizations. John Stewart was introduced as the third string back-up to the other human Lanterns - Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner - a role he fulfilled in classic mid-70s, angry-black-man-with-a-heart-of-gold fashion. The comic books had the character eventually progress into a world-managing super-being, but most folks are likely familiar with his cartoon alter-ego, where Stewart is a tough-talker from Detroit with more than a little street to go with his cosmic, green bling.
