Although ultimately unsuccessful, Hal caused a lot of other damage to his days of madness and evil. Sinestro killed, destroyed the Green Lantern Corps, and killed all but one of the Guardians. Although most of this damage was later retroactively away, many fans were really upset and annoyed by the trick of his hero.
