Ion (Kyle Rayner)

As Kyle Rayner, he was a jokester, fun-loving and carefree. As Ion, a more serious side of Kyle's personality was seen, responsible and dedicated to the good fight. He still enjoyed playing pranks on his fellow JL members, however.

Appearance
Ion wore a costume of his own design. All subsequent Ions have worn the exact same outfit, save for wearing a more traditional Green Lantern mask and bearing a silver ring with an emerald set in it.

History
During the Infinite Crisis, an infusion of power from his dying ex-girlfriend Jade transformed Green Lantern Kyle Rayner into Ion, a being that defied classification. As Ion, Kyle continued with superheroics for a few years, then disappeared into space. He returned when needed most, during "The One-Man War", assisting the Phantom Stranger, John Constantine, and the Shadowpact in stopping the insane new Dr.Fate. In the explosion that resulted in the Helmet of Nabu's destruction, Ion disappeared completely, no one knowing where he could have gone.

Since then, four incarnations of Ion have appeared, each one wearing the same costume as their namesake, and bearing the same silver ring set with an emerald. Each one appeared for a day at a time, helping avert a crisis, only to lose their powers when the crisis was averted. The most recent Ion, a teenager named Sam Michaels, took losing the power the hardest, staying comatose for several hours. When he awoke and was questioned about the ring and where he attained it, all he could say on the subject was "He said I wasn't who he was looking for".

Powers, Abilities, and Gear
Ion(Kyle Rayner) possessed the emerald energy, a mystical force that empowers the Green Lantern corps. While the GLs are given their power through rings channeling energy from the Central Battery on Oa, Ion seemed to generate the power himself. As such, he was unbound by the limitations of the Green Lantern, never needing to recharge himself and able to affect all colors and materials with his power.
