The storyline began in Green Lantern #50 with its seeds planted in GL #48. Originally, in 1994, DC Comics wanted to get rid of Hal Jordan as Green Lantern. When the renegade Sinestro was imprisoned in the Power Battery himself, his Qwardian yellow power ring tapped into Parallax's power and awakened it. Thus, when recruiting new Green Lanterns, the Guardians were careful to look for recruits that were largely fearless. This was the reason why the rings were useless against the color yellow: Parallax weakened its power over the corresponding spectrum hence only someone with the willpower to overcome great fear could master the Power Ring. Being yellow in color, Parallax eventually came to be referred to as simply "the Yellow Impurity." Parallax had lain dormant for billions of years, its true nature hidden by the Guardians to prevent anyone from trying to free it. The Guardians of the Universe later imprisoned Parallax within the Central Power Battery on Oa using fear's opposite energy, willpower. It was known that at some point, the Parallax Entity once fought against the Spectre when the Spirit of Vengeance sought to eliminate its kind from influencing living beings but despite his attempts, Spectre failed. This parasite was the sentient embodiment of fear, traveling from world to world and causing entire civilizations to destroy themselves out of paranoia. Parallax is a demonic parasitic entity dating back to the dawn of time. Parallax was shown to be the second Embodiment of Emotion that was formed when living beings began to fear for their existence. The subtle influences of the Entity brought about the formation of living beings which in turn formed the Emotional Electromagnetic Spectrum. Its creation came at the dawn of existence when the Life Entity entered into the universe and sheltered itself on the planet Earth. The Parallax Entity is a demonic looking parasitic cosmic entity that is the sentient Embodiment of Fear in the Emotional Spectrum.
