Yeah but I think it can be simplified though with an alien crashing to earth and handing off the ring to a chosen human who's a cross of Hal/Kyle. The yellow weakness doesn't really need a big explanation. Most people accept that every hero has a weakness like Achilles' heal or Superman's kryptonite so yellow being a weakness while kinda lame will pass. Then maybe over a three picture series you could show the hero going down a downward Anakin Skywalker spiral (absolute power corrupts kinda thing) until he's the villain and in steps John (/with Guy's smartass attitude) to replace him. Don't overexplain but just dumb it all down.

Sean Patrick Flannery is... Booster Gold!

Booster Gold would be a perfect super heroe action flick with a comedy twist, and "Stiffler" would be perfect for the part.

For those of you who don't know, "Booster" gold is a low life in the future, who steals things from the museum of the greatest superheroes and villans, and goes back in time to pretend he is a superhero from the future in hopes of re-writing the future to make himself a success.

In a "butterfly effect" way, it has some pretty funny elements of reality bending paradoxes. He is also the only person to get kicked out of the Justice League, for "perjury". He is and was a riot.
