While there, Abin Sur met a demon named Qull of the Five Inversions, a humanoid with a gaping mouth in his chest and a tongue-shaped head, crucified by three glowing spikes topped with the symbol of the Green Lantern Corps.

Abin Sur, worried by this prophecy, began using a starship for interstellar voyages, as an additional safeguard.
