Simon Baz was introduced in 2012 during DC Comics' The New 52 era, and a new human was added to the Green Lantern catalog. He was created by Geoff Johns and Doug Mahnke and is a Lebanese-American from Dearborn, Michigan. His story begins in a post-9/11 world, where he sadly faces discrimination and the struggles of his identity in a fearful America. After being wrongfully accused of terrorism, Simon is chosen by a malfunctioning Green Lantern ring, a combination of Hal Jordan's and Sinestro's rings, marking him as worthy despite his struggles. His early adventures would feature him clearing his name as well as finding his place among the other Green Lanterns of the DC Universe. McFarlane has already given Simon Baz his very own DC Multiverse figure, but he is back with a new Gold Label release.

Green Lantern (Simon Baz) AUTOGRAPH Series Gold
"As a Muslim growing up in Michigan, Simon Baz was often the target of bigotry. After he lost his job at an automotive plant, Simon started stealing cars to make ends meet. One night he stole a van, and discovered a ticking bomb inside the vehicle. After a high-speed chase he was taken into custody as a suspected terrorist. Amid harsh interrogation by federal agents, a power ring sought Baz out, conferring on him the abilities and responsibilities of a Green Lantern. A reluctant Super Hero, Baz considered the selection a mistake, but sought to do his best to help people."
