- When Abin Sur's ring summons Hal Jordan. Although scared and disoriented from the trip, as soon as Hal sees the guy in the sinking spaceship, he immediately runs to him, pulls him out of the water, and tries to revive him, not even questioning Abin's appearance.
- That moment is slight Fridge Brilliance when you realize that's exactly why the ring chose Hal. Anyone who would have run away, freaked out or tried to profit from discovering Abin Sur wouldn't be fit to join the Corps.
- He even buries Abin after he dies before leaving. (Sure, his body is dug up for an autopsy later, but the thought is still there)
- When Hal Jordan joins Tomar-Re on an aerial tour of Oa. There is a wonderful element of welcome to the scene where Jordan realizes the full beauty of his recruitment with a whole new way to fly with a newfound friend he never expected to have.
- After all the contempt, numerous deprecating lectures, and What the Hell, Hero? moments going BOTH ways, who pulls a half-conscious Hal out of the sun's gravity well? Sinestro. Then he takes him back to Oa and extolls his virtues to the Guardians and the rest of the Lantern Corps. Of course, everyone knows he's going to end up with the yellow ring eventually, but it's nice while it lasts.
