Why doesn't the Green Lantern ring do this?
In the movie Superman: Red Son when the US finds the Green Lantern alien,
why doesn't his ring fly off and find a replacement?
From what I understand: When a Green Lantern dies, the green power ring soars to the closest qualified alien.
Best Answer
A possible explanation is that Abin Sur was (artificially) comatose and not dead, therefor his ring would not seek a new owner.
A second explanation might be that in this reality, just like many other things that have changed surrounding Superman/Wonder Woman/Batman that this is no longer a thing.
This allowed Luthor to reverse engineer the rings making new ones that don't have the same user requirements as the original rings.
But it could also just be a plothole seeing it is never explained in the movie.

Can the Green Lantern ring do anything?
The Green Lantern ring can do anything so long as the wielder's willpower is strong enough. Most commonly, a Green Lantern Ring is used to shoot energy beams, fly, translate all languages, and of course, create green light energy constructs. With enough willpower and imagination, anything is possible.Why is Green Lanterns weakness wood?
The original Green Lantern, Alan Scott's weakness to wood stemmed from his subconscious belief that his powers couldn't affect the material. The later Lanterns' weakness to the color yellow came from the Fear entity trapped within the Green Lantern Corps' central power battery.Kelly Clarkson - Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You) [Official Video]
