It was during the period when the Crisis on Infinite Earths was at a fevered pitch. Some members of Earth-One's Green Lantern Corps were assigned to an invasion force in the Anti-Matter Universe, while others remained to protect their home space sectors. Six such individuals gave their lives during this conflict, either perishing at the hands of enemy forces in that universe or consumed by the anti-matter energy wave from that dimension. Zborra, Eddore, Xax, Sandro Batron, Wylxa and Tomar Re (pictured from left to right in the adjacent picture... note that these six Lantern's counterparts in Earth-Two's universe never operated in a Corps there and were thus saved to live out their normal lives on their respective worlds).
This would correspond with All-Star Squadron members from Earth-Two's Airwave, TNT, Dyna-Mite, Sargon, Guardian and Zatara. This would also correlated with the creation and continued existence of Sinestro's clones, that lived in Earth-Two's universe although the humans upon which they were based on had originated on Earth-One as three human crooks transformed into almost a dozen duplicates of the renegade former Green Lantern.
These heroes' fellow All-Star Robotman had himself an extended existence on Earth-One, most of which was in suspended animation, was balanced out by his old ally Charles Grayson's decades long brain-dead sleep in suspended animation on Earth-Two and a 64th century robot that arrived on Earth-Two in 1975 from Earth-One. Once retrieved from the bowels of a mine-shaft he had been trapped in, Robotman migrated back to Earth-Two when his old ally Steel had informed him that Grayson's body had been waiting for him all that time, bequeathed by Charles to the metallic marauder a flesh and blood form. Similarly, the former All-Star Commander Steel left Earth-One while his place was taken up by the construct none as Real American on Earth-Two.

Additionally, when a Daniel Cassidy and his four friends crossed over from the extinct Earth-Hollywood universe into that of Earth-One's realm, not only were they saved but so were the four Omega Men and Cassidy's counterpart Blue Devil who had been cast adrift in space during the Crisis. This addition of ten life forms balance out the loss of life when ten additional Green Lanterns from Earth-One's dimension perished as Oa's power battery exploded at the same point during the Crisis!
What about Spectre, Red Tornado, Black Canary and other individuals now existing on Earth-One yet unaccounted for on their native Earth-Two? Would the Crisis compensate for this irregularity as well? More soon...
