Superman as GL

I heard somewhere before that there was an elseworlds tale about what would happen if krypton hadnt blown up and kal-el was recruited as the krypton Green Lantern.
Is this true, or did somebody just make it up?

Apparently, Krypton didnt have a GL at the time of its explosion, as the space sector which included Krypton already had a Green lantern (Tomar-Re).

Krypton was in sector 2813
Earth is in sector 2814 (right next to it)

Actually its an elseworls of superman who is the last son of the earth, ist actually pretty good I liked it. He gets send from his parent on earth to krypton where Jor-el finds him and then sometime later he gets a GL ring. I don'T want to spoil it for you. But if you can get your hands on one of them I'D advise you to buy it, I really enjoyed it and since I really hate Superman this is something that has to be taken into consideration.

I got a copy of superman#147(aug '99) yesterday. It isnt an elseworlds tale, but has clark being mind-controlled to think that he is a GL and for most of the issue, it shows clark as having been brought up on oa with the guardians as parents. Then he teams up with hal jordan to go and stop sinestro.
The next 3 issues all have a similar storyline (with clark as a martian, a thangarian and another race)

interesting. what's the title?

Superman#147
One Man JLA: From Krypton to Oa

Superman was suppose to be a Green Lantern but then krypton exploded.

Say what??????? 😕

I'm not sure, but I believe I read somewhere once that Superman, as Superman, not Kal-El, was destined to be the ultimate GL.

theguardians realised that jor-el and lana were about to give birth to a son that would be genetically perfect, and ganthet planned to take him away to oa upon his birth to raise him as one of their own and eventually let him alone lead the GLC (as they were planning to make it independant of the guardians). but then krypton exploded and kalel was sent to earth. Ganthet realised then that earth needed kalel more than the GLC needed him, so they let him stay on earth, even though they dropped in to give him advice from time to time

They show him as a GL in a virtual reality made by the Key.

atleast now we know of a potential superman who COULD beat silver surfer.

What if Krypton didn't explode but Superman's parents were killed, at a young age, after watching an opera. After years of training he was given GL ring. The Krypton exploded and he went to Earth.

That would be a Batman-GL-Superman tribrid do you know what these guy could do?

Actually, an interesting idea - there's been Last Son of Earth (already mentioned), where an Earth-version of Kal becomes a Superman/GL, and there's Speeding Bullets, where Kal is raised by the Waynes and becomes Batman, and then there's In Darkest Knight, where Batman becomes a GL. Mix 'em all together, and see what comes out!
