Tomar-Re is a character appearing in comics published by DC Comics. He is a member of the Green Lantern Corps, as well as the predecessor and father of Tomar-Tu.
Tomar-Re is a Xudarian, a bird-like alien and former scientist from the planet Xudar in Sector 2813.[2] After joining the Green Lantern Corps, he serves in its Honor Guard; trains new members, most prominently Arisia Rrab; and befriends Hal Jordan.
Tomar-Re sought to stablize the planet Krypton using the rare compound stellarium, but was stopped by a solar flare, and Krypton exploded shortly afterward.[3][4]
Tomar-Re is later killed by Goldface and succeeded by his son Tomar-Tu. He has largely remained dead since, but has appeared as a spirit and was temporarily resurrected as a Black Lantern in Blackest Night.[5]
A hologram of Tomar-Re appears in Smallville Season 11: Lantern #1. This version was killed while trying to stop a global civil war instigated by General Zod, with his ring traveling to Earth and choosing Clark Kent as his successor months after he became Superman.[14]
Tomar-Re appears in the Injustice: Gods Among Us prequel comic. After Hal Jordan aids and abets Superman's Regime and joins the Sinestro Corps, Tomar-Re joins the Green Lantern Corps in an attempt to apprehend Superman. However, they suffer heavy casualties, with Tomar-Re and the survivors subsequently being forced to surrender their rings and accept imprisonment in a Regime prison.[volume & issue needed]
