The Original Golden Age Hero
Way back in 1940, the very first Green Lantern appeared in All-American Comics #16. Created by Martin Nodell and Bill Finger, Alan Scott was based more on the fantastical story of Aladdin and his magic lamp than he was on any science-fiction tale, and that's remained true of the character ever since. A founding member of the Justice Society of America, Scott was primarily based in New York City, though he also had connections to Batman's hometown of Gotham. In fact, modern Batman stories reco...
The Silver Age Standard
Probably the most famous of all the Green Lanterns, and traditionally known as the "greatest" of the Corps, Hal Jordan made his debut as the new Green Lantern in Showcase #22 in 1959. A former fighter pilot-turned-test pilot, Jordan discovered an alien named Abin Sur after he crash-landed on Earth, bestowing upon him his power ring and lantern, and the responsibility associated with it. After joining the Corps, Jordan effectively became a space cop, securing Sector 2814, helping to found the...
The Bronze Age Replacement
Hal Jordan's first replacement, Guy Gardner was in the running to receive Jordan's ring originally, but because Jordan was closer, Guy was passed on. Nearly a decade after Jordan's debut, Guy was introduced in 1968, though he didn't take over the mantle immediately. After completing his training on Oa, Guy returned to help Jordan on a few cases until he was hit by a bus and landed in the hospital. This trauma put Guy's personality through some drastic revisions as he became a lot more hot-hea...
The Fan Favorite
Arguably the most loved Green Lantern besides Hal Jordan, John Stewart was Jordan's second replacement after Guy Gardner sort of took on a life of his own. Both a U.S. Marine sniper and an architect, Stewart's constructs are a lot more complex and intricate than some of the other Lanterns out there, and he takes real pride in that. First appearing in Green Lantern #87 in 1971, Stewart quickly became a fan favorite, appearing in some of DC's biggest events at the time including Crisis on Infin...
The Torchbearer
After Parallax destroyed the Green Lantern Corps, Kyle Rayner was introduced as the universe's last Green Lantern after a surviving Guardian of the Universe named Ganthet bestowed upon him the very last working power ring. Since Guy Gardiner didn't want it, the job came to Kyle, a struggling artist who quickly became one of the prominent members of the JLA. It didn't take long for Kyle's popularity to skyrocket among fans, and he was quickly introduced into Superman: The Animated Series befor...
The New Guy
Introduced in the final act of Geoff Johns' Green Lantern run, Simon Baz was accidentally conscripted into the Corps after Hal Jordan and Sinestro's power rings merged, choosing Baz as the latest recruit. After a tussle with the Justice League, Baz eventually helps the Green Lantern Corps defeat the Third Army, an evil experiment by the Guardians of the Universe who hoped to replace the Corps with mindless automatons. Thankfully, Baz got the hang of it quickly and proved invaluable to the fig...
The Breakout Star
Not long after Simon Baz was introduced, Geoff Johns introduced Jessica Cruz in The New 52 run of Justice League. Jessica had accidentally attained the supervillain Power Ring's titular weapon, which drove her further into a state of fear. As a shut-in with agoraphobia, Jessica had experienced trauma that had consumed her, but only upon getting hold of the power ring was she able to work with the Justice League and overcome her own fears. Eventually, the villain's ring left her finger, only t...
The most recent addition to the Green Lantern moniker, Sojourner "Jo" Mullein first appeared in the 2019 series Far Sector, written by science-fiction writer N. K. Jemisin. After Jo is approached by a Guardian of the Universe, she's given one year to use her Green Lantern ring to make a difference in the world, or else lose it. Aside from her solo ...
