Comment(s):

DC Super-Stars #14 stated Calor was the homeworld of Gorilla City and Flash foe Gorilla Grodd. The story was written out of continuity in Who's Who a few years later.

Various details concerning Green Lantern's origin have been retconned over the years. According to this story, Hal Jordan is not yet aware of the Guardians of the Universe. In this story they bring an energy duplicate of Hal Jordan to Oa and erases the memory of the meeting from his mind until it is proper for him to learn about them. Later retcons have Hal Jordan meeting and remembering the Guardians a lot earlier.

The events of their last appearance in Green Lantern: Emerald Dawn II #6 might no longer be in continuity following the retcon of Hal Jordan's origin in Green Lantern Vol. 4 #29- #35.
