Fictional character biography
Jack T. Chance is from the planet Garnet, also known as 'Hellhole' because it is one of the worst criminal worlds in existence. He is chosen by the ring of deceased Lantern Pathavim Seth-Ottarak and becomes a Green Lantern. However, he rejects the idea of a uniform, refusing to wear anything other than his own clothes with a badge added.
Chance hunts down the man who killed Pathavim, intending to kill him, only to find the ring had a failsafe against lethal force. As such, he uses a normal firearm to kill him. In response, the Guardians force Chance to undergo training and a probation period before he can continue serving in the Corps.
In the aftermath of Emerald Twilight, Chance is captured by the Manhunters and used as a power source for their software.
Chance and a select few Green Lanterns are sent to Qward to rescue Hal Jordan, during which he is killed by a Parallax-possessed Kyle Rayner.
In Blackest Night, Chance is temporarily resurrected as a Black Lantern.

Jack T. Chance appears as a character summon in Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure.
