A Lebanese-Muslim-American, former mechanic, and illegal street-racer, Simon Baz was no stranger to suspicion and ostracism against his family. Some time later, still financially desperate, Simon began stealing cars, to re-sell them for parts. One night, while stealing a van, Simon accidentally stole a van filled with explosives. A high-speed chase ensued, ending with Simon's arrest. As a result of his heritage, Simon was immediately suspected to be a terrorist and deported to Guantanamo Bay for further questioning. Despite the efforts of the more reasonable Agent Fed, Simon's attempt to claim he was innocent was ignored, and he was nearly subjected to torture. Only a short time later, a green lantern ring would find its way to the man, transporting him to safety, landing him in Central City, Missouri, where after a while, he’d be face to face with Barry Allen, the hero known as the Flash. Realizing he had a responsibility, he’d use the ring to fight crime, as a Green Lantern...as the Jade Warrior!
