On the planet Korugar, Sinestro was born and raised to become a fearless warrior. His military prowess earned the attention of the Guardians of the Universe who recruited Sinestro to the Green Lantern Corps. Sinestro was assigned to Space Sector 1417, which included his home planet, and established a lofty reputation of being the greatest Green Lantern there was. Over time, Sinestro was corrupted by his power and took over Korugar. Years passed until a young Katma Tui joined the underground rebellion. The Guardians were alerted of Sinestro's actions.
A tribunal was held on Oa. With Tui's testimony, Sinestro was stripped of his title and ring. He was then banished to the anti-matter universe of Qward. Sinestro's warrior ethic impressed even the Qwardians, beings of pure evil. Their leader, Yokal the Atrocious had a yellow power ring forged, impowered and given to Sinestro. He vowed to kill every Green Lantern and get revenge on the Guardians, enemies of the Qwardians. After escaping Qward, Sinestro soon kept his word and began systematically murdering Green Lanterns and keeping their rings as war trophies.
In his recent scheme, Sinestro crafted an army of Attack Droids and an Antimatter Vortex Generator. With the Generator, he would be able to remake the universe in his image and enforce his vision of a peaceful universe. However, the power requirements of the device were theoritical until he discovered the combined energy of power rings were sufficient. Sinestro sent his Droids across the universe to ambush Green Lanterns and teleport them to a special prison cell that siphoned the energy from them. Sinestro decided to leave a few Lanterns alive as witness to the Corps' destruction.
Sinestro encountered an advance agent of the Lanterns, Duck Dodgers, who quickly agreed to his lure of power. Sinestro was quickly irritated and moved to kill Dodgers. Kilowog, Katma Tui, and Ch'p arrived in time. Dodgers revived the captured Lanterns. The combined power of about 41 Lanterns knocked Sinestro into an antimatter vortex and stopped his devious plan.
