Little is known of Guy Gardner's origins except that he attended the University of Michigan and played for their football team, the Wolverines. While Hal Jordan was away in the Forgotten Zone fighting the Red Lantern Corps, the Guardians of the Universe chose Guy Gardner to be the new Green Lantern of Space Sector 2814. Gardner accepted and became widely adored by the Guardians, the Corps, and the people of Earth. He was dubbed the Ginger Green Lantern, completely charming and full of charisma. Eventually, Jordan and Gardner met. Confused about who was the Green Lantern of 2814, they took the discussion to a McDuffie's and had some hot wings. Gardner declared he was the Green Lantern and was about to leave when Jordan had enough and fought him. A crisis involving three Manhunters brought the two together and they bonded in battle, sort of.

Guy Gardner was soon promoted to Honor Guard, the fastest ever for any Green Lantern in the Corps. As a result, John Stewart of Earth was selected to take Gardner's place as Green Lantern of Space Sector 2814. In the offensive at Ranx, Gardner was given command of the Green Lantern contingency sent to stop the Manhunters. However, Gardner's plans failed. Once Hal Jordan arrived, Gardner spared no expense to mock Jordan's name, mask, and lack of intelligence on Ranx. Gardner was not amused when he realized the only Green Lantern squad to make it to Ranx was Hal Jordan's. Gardner then led the Corps against Aya but they were all defeated easily. Gardner took part in the Maltus battle and joined in Jordan's orders to fire Razer into the corpse of the Anti-Monitor.
