Sinestro made a pact with the Weaponers of Qward, who supplied him with a new ring. Other Green Lanterns who believed in Sinestro followed him into the Anti-Matter Universe. Hal Jordan soon reported Sinestro's misconduct to the Guardians of the Universe, causing Sinestro to be stripped of his ring and banished to the Anti-Matter Universe. Sinestro was stricken by grief when Arin was killed by a child suicide bomber after his head. With the arrival of a new Lantern on their side, the people of Korugar became restless and began rebelling against their overlord. When Sinestro brought Jordan to his home world, the new Lantern was appalled by what Sinestro was doing to his people. In the same way he did with Abin, Sinestro found a quick friend in Jordan. Eventually Abin Sur died on a mission and his replacement from Earth named Hal Jordan became Sinestro's new partner. Arin would begin to resent her husband for what he was doing to his people. Sinestro began passing his teachings and philosophies to the new recruits of the Lantern Corps. However after threats to the baby were made by disgruntled civilians, Arin gave the baby up for adoption. Sinestro soon had a baby daughter with Arin which they named Soranik. Within a few years Sinestro controlled the whole planet, and was eventually named dictator for life. He also created robots out of his willpower to patrol the bustling city of Korugar. He began monitoring communications, populations and heartbeats so that nothing on his home planet would happen without his knowledge. While on his home planet he realized that if he stretched his willpower to the limit he could make his world a paradise, an example of what a Green Lantern could really do.

Eventually Arin and Sinestro wed, and Sinestro moved back to his home planet with his new bride. Sinestro soon became infatuated with Abin's sister Arin, and the pair quickly fell deeply in love. One day Abin took Sinestro to see his home planet, Ungara, where he met Abin's family. Sinestro soon became the greatest of the Green Lanterns, often fighting alongside his partner and friend Abin Sur. He was tasked with keeping Sector 1417, which Korugar was situated in, safe from threats. Sinestro conceded and was inducted into the Corps, officially becoming a Green Lantern. The Guardians were the creators and leaders of the GLC, and they demanded Sinestro swear the Green Lantern Oath before being accepted into the Corps. Abin brought Sinestro to Oa, the home world of the Green Lantern Corps, to meet the Guardians of the Universe. Abin revealed to Sinestro that the ring was worn by all members of the Green Lantern Corps, a intergalactic police force tasked with ridding evil from the universe. Eventually he was contacted by Abin Sur, another wielder of the green ring. With this new power in his hands Sinestro decided that instead of digging up the past he would instead strive to build for the future. When the alien asked for its ring back to he could receive medical attention, Sinestro refused and left the alien to die. With this knowledge Sinestro quickly destroyed the Weaponers. Sinestro soon figured out that the ring created whatever he desired as long as he had the will to power it. Sinestro picked up the ring and slipped it on his finger, which instantly transformed Sinestro's clothes into a green suit. The Weaponers were a race of aliens from the Antimatter Universe whose culture was focused on war. At that moment the enemy arrived- a Weaponer of Qward. This alien was wearing a strange ring, which he offered up to Sinestro so he could battle the man that had injured him. Sinestro approached the spacecraft and discovered a mortally wounded alien inside. One day while on an archaeological dig Sinestro witnessed a space craft crash land near his dig site. 3) Green Lantern Corps (Vol.Thaal Sinestro was an archaeologist obsessed with the past.
