Synopsis:
Green Lantern is ridiculed by the audience of the Oprah Winfrey show for his claim that he is completely without fear. He tries to explain it to them, but he fails to gain their understanding. When he leaves the show, Hal spots a man in the streets wielding a sword and cutting down innocent people. Green Lantern confronts the swordsman. To prove that he is without fear, Hal tosses his ring aside to engage the killer without its power.
