Spoilers ahead

Long ago, the Guardians of the Universe, the first sentient beings to exist, harnessed the power of the green element to forge the Green Lantern battery. However, the battery was vulnerable to the color yellow, the one part of the light spectrum that could resist green. To shield against this weakness, the Guardians hid the most concentrated source of yellow energy—the yellow element—away from prying hands.
