Editing Kyle Rayner (section)

==="Lights Out"===
During the "Lights Out" storyline, Kyle and the emotional entities travel into the Source Wall to restore the emotional spectrum.<ref>''Green Lantern Annual'' (vol. 5) #2</ref> During this time, he sees the source of the universe and subconsciously creates the Oblivion entity to destroy himself so that he cannot endanger anyone else. However, various other ring-wielders, including Carol and the repowered Saint Walker, band together and convince him to have hope, resulting in Kyle working with the Templar Guardians into defeating Oblivion.<ref>''Green Lantern: New Guardians Annual'' #2</ref> Recognizing that the white light is too powerful for him to control full-time, Kyle splits his ring between himself and six other allies, allowing the option of the rings recombining into one if Kyle is faced with a serious threat.
