Kahjum

Kahjum is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character is primarily associated with the superhero Green Lantern. Kahjum first appeared in Green Lantern: Mosaic #1, which was released in 1992. The character was created by writer Gerard Jones and artist Joe Staton.

Kahjum is a member of the indigenous people of the planet Xanshi. Xanshi was a world that had long been under the influence of the Manhunters, a robotic police force created by the Guardians of the Universe. The Manhunters had a directive to eliminate all emotion from sentient beings, which significantly impacted Xanshi's inhabitants. Kahjum, however, retained a sense of individuality and defiance against this suppression.

During his initial appearances, Kahjum played a role in the "Green Lantern: Mosaic" storyline. This arc saw Earth's Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, taking control of the Mosaic space, a collection of worlds that had been disconnected from the main galactic community. Kahjum, as a representative of his people and their struggle against the Manhunters' influence, became a significant figure within this narrative. He often acted as a guide and ally to Hal Jordan, providing insights into the complex political and social landscape of the Mosaic.

Kahjum's character is often portrayed as resilient and determined, embodying the spirit of his people's fight for freedom and self-determination. His interactions with Green Lantern highlighted themes of cultural resistance and the impact of oppressive forces on alien societies. While not as widely known as some other Green Lantern supporting characters, Kahjum remains a notable figure within the lore of the Green Lantern Corps.
