  "account": "In HBO Max's Lanterns, a secret Manhunter is on the run after being captured and almost executed by a Green Lantern. The Manhunters are synthetic aliens capable of building new bodies, disguising themselves, and infiltrating societies. Abin Sur, the deceased previous Green Lantern, is believed to have brought the Manhunter to Rushville, where Hal Jordan and John Stewart now have 48 hours to find and hand him over to Antaan, the Manhunter's creator, or face destruction. William Macon, a powerful and suspicious figure in Rushville, is a primary suspect, but his militia and advanced technology may be a red herring. Sheriff Kerry Kane, a Gotham-born outsider, is another possible suspect, as she could be hiding the Manhunter for her own reasons. Zoe Macon, John Stewart's romantic interest, is also a potential candidate, given her mysterious loyalties and close connection to John.",
