Biography
Jack T. Chance was a male humanoid inhabitant of the planet Garnet that was also known as 'Hellhole' because it was one of the worst criminal worlds in existence. On numerous occasions, the Guardians of the Universe dispatched Green Lanterns to the world in hope of redeeming the world but each attempt ended in failure which usually resulted in the death of the Green Lantern. A previous agent sent was Pathavim Seth-Ottarak who was fatally wounded and used his dying breath to instruct his Power Ring to find a replacement among Hellhole's inhabitants uniquely suited to the challenges of the world. The ring chose Jack T. Chance and came to recruit him into he Green Lantern Corps. When the ring bonded with him, it created a standard Green Lantern uniform and explained his duties to him though Chance rejected the idea of a uniform, refusing to wear anything other than his own trashy clothes with a single small added badge. Chance then proceeded to hunt down the man who killed his predecessor only to find the ring had a failsafe against lethal force. Further, the ring offered no protection against his opponent's yellow bullets. Thus Chance fell back on traditional methods and used a crude firearm to shoot the man dead. This became Jack's standard methodology as he went about pacifying Garnet, wearing down his targets with the powers of the ring then delivering a killing blow with a sidearm.
When news of this reached the Guardians, Chance was quickly recalled to Oa for judgement. The Guardians decided Chance would be subjected to rigorous training and a probationary period before he was allowed to continue serving with the Green Lantern Corps. Chance in turn threatened to simply quit if forced to play by their rules and pointed out his brutal approach was the first thing that had ever worked on Hellhole. The Guardians conceded they lacked a suitable alternative candidate to serve as Garnet's Green Lantern, and had no choice but to appoint Chance as Green Lantern of his planet. Chance and the Guardians brokered a deal whereby he was restricted to his planet (other Lanterns covered whole sectors). His deeds were also subject to reviews to ensure he was not using 'questionable methods'. (Green Lantern Corps Quarterly v1 #1)
