Who is Gloss?

Origin The Guardian Herupa Hando Hu and the Zamaron Nadia Safir came to Earth to find ten people to propel Earth into the new millennium. The only problem is that they were very bitter about how they had been treated after the Guardians abandoned them when they formed the Green Lantern Corps . The Manhunters had been lying in wait for centuries waiting for this moment, and they had sleeper agents all over the universe, including Earth. They did everything they could to stop Herupa and Nadia from fulfilling their duty and destiny. Xiang Po would be the third Earthling to be visited by Herupa and Nadia. Just like all of the chosen, Herupa and Nadia told her in her native language that, “We have chosen ten people on earth to advance the human race, and one of the ten is you! Both the heroes and heroines of Earth join us in asking you to leave this life and enter the future.” Xiang is a Chinese woman who took this news with almost no emotion. She said she would have to check with her parents and possibly the leaders of her country. She would eventually be given the powers to control the Ley Lines of the Earth and become a member of the New Guardians as Gloss.
