Yellow Lantern is also known as Hal Jordan in the parallel universe.
When Superman made Earth under his One-Earth government regime, Sinestro decided to form an alliance with him since his One-Earth government is similar to his dictatorial rule over Korugar. Sinestro managed to convince Hal Jordan that fear is more effective than willpower, thus making him give up the power of the Green Lantern and accepting the yellow ring of fear, joining the Sinestro Corps.
When the prime universe's Hal Jordan encounters Yellow Lantern in Gotham City, Green Lantern stated that Yellow Lantern has traded green for yellow, the color of cowardice. They have a fight with Green Lantern winning the battle.
When the parallel universe's Batman's Insurgency leads a rescue mission to save the prime universe's Batman at Stryker Island, Yellow Lantern, along with other members of Superman's Regime, tries to fend off the Insurgency. He clashes with Green Lantern again and eventually fought the parallel universe Batman to prevent prime universe Batman's escape to a losing fight. Parallel universe Batman then told him that Superman is the enemy, not the Insurgency.
When Superman killed Shazam after he decided to back out from Superman's decision to destroy Metropolis and Gotham and the prime universe's cities. The Flash defects from the Regime. Yellow Lantern said to Flash that there is no "done" in the Regime and tried to prevent Flash from escaping. When Flash broke through Yellow Lantern's fear barrier, a fight ensues with Flash winning.
Eventually, the prime universe Superman shows up to save the parallel universe's Metropolis and Gotham City. Yellow Lantern, Sinestro, and Black Adam encounter him in Gotham. After defeating Black Adam, Superman forcibly removes Sinestro's ring and says that Yellow Lantern still has a chance to do the right thing. Having said that, Hal Jordan surrendered and took off his yellow ring. After Superman defeated his parallel universe counterpart, many members of the Regime were arrested with Sinestro and Hal Jordan taken to Oa to stand trial in front of the Guardians of the Universe.
The Yellow Lantern attire can be unlocked by winning a ranked match as the Green Lantern.
