Fictional character biography

Amon Sur is the leader of the Black Circle crime syndicate, who feels that his father Abin Sur abandoned him in favor of the Green Lantern Corps and attempts to take his anger out on the other Green Lanterns. Amon is stopped by Kyle Rayner and the Guardian of the Universe Lianna. Lianna decapitates Amon, but he survives and regenerates his body.

Years later, Amon confronts Hal Jordan, who has returned to the Green Lantern Corps after being freed from the influence of Parallax. Jordan defeats Amon, who is recruited into the Sinestro Corps.^[1] Amon is later killed by Laira, and his power ring attempts to find a new wielder before the Guardians destroy it.^[2][3]

In Blackest Night, Amon is resurrected as a Black Lantern before Jordan and the Indigo Tribe destroy him.^[4][5]

Powers and abilities

Due to his Ungaran physiology, Amon Sur can naturally regenerate most of his limbs, even his head.

Amon Sur has wielded yellow and black power rings, which enable him to fly and create energy constructs. As a Black Lantern, he can remove the hearts of others to empower himself.
