The same motivation OL 16 has. The only thing stopping him is the lack of a power battery.
Even with the lack of a Justice League, he could easily be pulled into defending his company and tech. The moment you invent something in comics, especially a power source, some villain will want it for their own ends.
I mean, let us remember that a big part of being Iron man for Tony Stark was to keep people from stealing his shit.
I personally have never seen the Illustres' motivation to be a 'superhero' in the first place. He wanted Alan's ring because it was the easiest and most expeditious way to recharge his ring, and because of that he had to swear an oath and get involved in superheroics; after that, well, his motivation is to improve the world, then the universe, and since he has the power to do it himself and an orange ring, why not? Plus, most of his friends are involved themselves so no way not to be involved. Without the oath he would probably had gone a path between the Sybarite and 'Peter', a superpowered industrialist trying to improve the world his own way and with the Justice League suspicious and maybe even investigating him.
Besides, Peter's not really inventing anything, he's going to be the capital and majority shareholder in the company that he funds. And in England. He probably will try to have something to protect himself, but that doesn't mean he will go out of his way to befriend superheroes or fight supervillains.
If his ring can't charge off ambient greed, would trying to eat the charge off a green lantern's ring (preferrably with their prior consent) be a bet positive, or would it just drain the greenie's faster than the orange ring?
That's a possible technique of the Orange Power Rings. But even the Illustres needed a lot of time and practice to learn/develop it. I don't think one charge would be enough for 'Peter' to train enough and crack the concept.
Mr Zoat, some other corrections:
Not sure on this one, I think it should be: 'And doesn't that just sounds splendid.'
Naming error I believe, due to context I think it should be 'Himon'. He hadn't known about Hinon the Controller just yet, so he should be referring about the creator of the Mother Boxes.
I believe the full stop should be after the hyphen instead.
I think: 'A beam of brilliant orange'. (Unless it was indeed a bream xD)
Should be: 'move my right hand up so that I can'.
Should be: 'neural interface attached to his head.'
Should be 'When she sees me'.
I think: 'I hold it just in front of my face'.
I believe the yellow ring is in the right hand? So: 'I look at the back of my right hand, having my yellow ring'.
"So; just what it is that you intend to demand from me while I'm enfeebled from my three billion year slumber?" She looks around again. "And where are we?"
These quotes from Hinon are missing the bold (at least I think it's bold) inherent to Maltusians not connected to a Central Power Battery, I believe.
I think: 'and it's risky even so.'
This has an extra red dot.
Should be: 'What little is left of the Citadel Complex'.
