    It seems as if writers tend to relegate Stewart in the background in favor of the other three human Green Lanterns. Stewart lacks the iconic status of Hal, the cheeky devil-may-care rebelliousness of Guy, and the hipster-creativity of Kyle. Which makes him the _____________ Lantern (?)    
     
    Stewart seems to be only famous for his appearance on Justice League. I'm a fan of the character, but aside from Mosaic, Everyone's Favorite Chocolate Lantern seems underused.    
     
    Can anyone reveal a few storylines where Stewart plays an integral role?

    xD. This is the reason that he's usually described as the Justice League Lantern. He just doesn't have anything that truly stands out sa a character.

    Actually, I'm lobbying to get the term "African-American" changed to "Chocolate". Much more appealing, and everyone loves chocolate. 
    Chocolate Lantern approved!

    If you can think of a better trait that Stewart has going for him, I'll happily amend my post. And don't mention his sniper background, a development that was sort of like Byrne writing Superman as vegetarian. Meaning it did nothing to improve the character.

    I mostly agree with your post I just didn't like the fact that you called him a choclate Green Lantern, you could have just said African American thats all i'm saying

    But that IS how most consumers (comic book readers and avid fans of the Justice League cartoon) view the character.

    Locking.  I think the OP was trying to be humorous, but it doesn't fit with the style of CV.
