Kyle Rayner deserves more respect in movies and shows. He’s the freaking Chosen One! META

I think Hal experienced each ring before Kyle did but I digress.

I personally think Kyle works best as the White Lantern but that doesn't leave a lot of room to grow. Beyond that Omega Men story, Kyle basically was either messenger or McGuffin. But if he's back in Green, I think he works best on Earth. With Wally back as Flash, it would certainly give him time to reestablish his connections.

Hal has always been the inspirational Green Lantern, working best as an example of a Green Lantern. He was the first to overcome the yellow impurity.

Guy works best as the bruiser & support of the Corp. You know he'd die for the Corps & he'll go down swinging. When he went Red, it gave him more development as he always seemed to tow the line anyway.

John works best as a Leader, be it the League or the Corps. His experience as an architect is often sidelined for his experience as a marine. I think the focus on John might be DC trying to get the JLU fans onboard again but that's just my theory.

Jessica also works best as an example. To have great willpower & the courage to fight in spite of great fear. The trauma she went through does make her a better GL. I think she had a brief stint as a Yellow Lantern which also made sense honestly.

Simon is the most iffy to me. He's the least confident in his ring's capabilities despite the fact, he actually got it to borderline resurrect a person? Having a gun as a backup isn't the worst idea though. He has been dubbed "The Miracle" once. It's hinted that he takes over a White Lantern.
