Who is Katma Tui?

Origin Katma Tui was Green Lantern for the planet of Korugar during her tenure as a member of the Green Lantern Corps (this was in sector 1417). She replaced Sinestro as the Green Lantern for this sector. He had used his power ring to establish himself as totalitarian ruler of his planet. Katma Tui eventually helped lead the revolt against him which would result in his removal as planetary leader, of him being removed as a member of the corps and of being imprisoned in the anti-matter universe on the planet of Qward. She was nominated by Tomar-Re as the replacement Green Lantern for the sector, which she accepted. Despite this she was regarded as a villain by her native Korugarans as the Green Lanterns were falsely considered a symbol of tyranny because of the actions of Sinestro. She is therefore known as “Katma Tui the lost.” Character Evolution For the majority of her publication history, Katma Tui was a secondary character, showing up when her support was necessary or on other matters which concerned the corps. In her first encounter with Hal Jordan (and first appearance), Earth's Green Lantern convinced Katma to abandon her fiance and devote her life to the Corps.
