Oh, I have a balls out alternate theory where he takes up Mogo's place, taking charge of sending out the rings, except that he takes the Blue Lantern approach and goes to each possible Lantern separately. He sits down with them and talks with them and once he feels they're a fit, he offers them the ring.
Ooooh, I like that theory! The problem is, I don't know that that kind of way of handling things could keep up with demand. I mean, there are 7200 Lanterns (or, there are supposed to be; it'll be interesting seeing how they handle the bads that possessed!Mogo inducted into the Corps). What does he do if they lose a bunch in a big battle and he needs 30 recruits right now?
I'm all about Kyle going blue as well, but I do wonder how they'll make it work if he can super power the others for anything.
Yeah, it does turn into a deus ex machina. "We don't have enough power!" "No worries, let me just ring up Kyle..."
