Well I'm not sure what is missed in the OP, but i'll break it down for those who don't follow comics.
SPOILERS for 10 year old comics ahead!
Since 2004 Geoff Johns has taken DC by storm and uses his time jackin it to Silver Age (60's) comics and brings back such crap as Hal Jordan's epic death cheapened by some fanfiction rage enducing drivel called Green Lantern: Rebirth.
Let me rewind to the 1990's which saw Hal Jordan lose his shit and kill hundreds of Green Lanterns and fistfight (no rings) Sinestro(his nemesis) and breaks his neck with his bare hands. The next Lantern (Kyle) would occaisionaly counter Hal's insanity(now calling himself Parallax and has a Ring on each finger, which he stole from the other lanterns he killed)
Eventually Hal would get some sense and do some good. He sacrifices himself to RESTART THE DYING SUN. It is infact glorius and emotional. Hal at this point is fused with Spectre (Basically a Holy Ghost)
Now, once Johns takes over "Hal didn't go crazy he was actually possessed by a giant yellow fear bug from space" LAME
