Sodom Yat is a native of the planet Daxam and is currently a rookie member of the Green Lantern Corps, according to a prophesy within the Book of Oa, he has a great destiny.
Sodam Yat grew up on the planet Daxam with his father and mother. Daxam is a planet whose inhabitants are quite isolationist minded. This was difficult for Sodam who was interested in space and life beyond his planet. This also brought him into conflict with his parents. This came to a head when he was about 8 years old and found a crashed alien. He nursed it back to health and the two became close friends. When his parents found out, they had the alien killed and put Sodam through conditioning to help him get over his fascination with space. This worked until his class took a trip the museum, where Sodam saw his friend stuffed and propped up in a model attacking a daxamite. From then on, though he continued to play the good son for his parents, he spent his weekends rebuilding his friends ship. The day that he was preparing to launch and leave Daxam behind was the day he entered the Green Lantern Corps. Sodam then went to basic training on Oa under Kilowog. When the Sinestro Crops War broke out, Sodam was among the rookie members chosen to accompany Kilowog to defend Mogo. During the battle he served with distinction, so much so that he was among those Kilowog chose to send to infiltrate the living city of Ranx. During that mission he showed his leadership skills, taking charge and giving tactical orders that even Stel found logical. At one point during the battle Mogo contacted him relaying orders from the Guardians to leave the battlefield and explaining that they both played important parts in a prophecy regarding the future of the corps. Sodam disobeyed those orders and stayed in the battle. He led what remained of Green Lantern forces into the heart of Ranx. It was upon they're arrival that the first new law was introduced and Sodam avenges the death of Lantern Chthos by killing Enkafos. In light of the danger involved with destroying Ranx he ordered the other Lanterns to safety and finished the job himself. After destroying the sentient city, Ranx, during the Battle of Mogo, Sodam had proved that he was a very skilled warrior.
Sodam Yat has recently been upgraded to the status of Ion after Kyle Rayner had been infected by Parallax. The Green Lantern Corps were able to retrieve the Ion power and bestow it upon Sodam Yat. After the transformation, he immediately engaged in combat with Superman-Prime.
The newly appointed Ion fought Prime blow for blow until he crashed into a nuclear power plant made of lead. Yat was still not used to the Ion powers or the gifts the yellow sun gave him. After Prime impaled him with a rod, Yat realized that lead was one of his weaknesses. He immediately retreated and flew from the plant. However, his opponent was not far behind. Prime impaled Ion again from behind and they crash landed in a cemetery. Yat was beginning to understand that he needed to use all the powers he could to defeat Prime, even if it meant killing him. Yat managed to slam Prime against a tree using a tombstone. Superman-Prime quickly countered this and Ion was relentlessly beaten on by the Kryptonian villain. Yat was knocked out and carried into the air by Prime. Lucky for him, help was on the way.
Yat was injured for the remainder of the battle. He is later seen training on Oa with other Green Lanterns when Kyle Rayner comes and gives him a few tips on being Ion. Alex Nero appears and attacks them. Yat shows great potential when he outsmarts Nero and stops him. Yat explains that he can't take off the ring or the lead poisoning from the battle with Prime will spread.
