Similarly, his weakness isn't the color yellow, but anything made of wood, meaning that he's particularly powerless against pornstars. Cons: Well, he's been around since the s, so there's that whole age thing going on, and who wants a superhero who can be beaten by a well-placed tree branch on the head, no matter how experienced he may be?
Kyle Rayner Pros: After Hal Jordan got himself possessed and destroyed the Corps, freelance illustrator Rayner became the last Green Lantern in the universe, fighting Hal and keeping the name alive until the powers that be decided to hit the magical reset button.
Cons: Post-magical reset button, Rayner's been more than a little superfluous to requirements, and has been thrown around DC's publishing line including an unfortunate stint in weekly book Countdown where he did very little for weeks on end. Is there a place out there for a replacement with little personality when the main man comes back?
Guy Gardner Pros: Former football star and current arrogant asshole, Gardner is one of the more complex and realistic superheroes in mainstream comics, capable of being a dick or shameless, stupid, romantic as needs be. Cons: Like I said, "former football star and current arrogant asshole.
In lesser hands, the character can turn into a one-note joke, and as well as know, the ranks of comic writers is pretty much filled with lesser hands, not to mention other body parts.
Of course, there are many, many other Green Lanterns for the game makers to choose from - Mogo, the planet Green Lantern, for one. Personally, I'm hoping that the one that shows up in Mortal Kombat Vs. And, no, I'm not joking. Green Lantern? He resembles something like a humanoid mutt with tusks. Despite his villainous origins, he has since endeared himself to fans to the point of becoming oddly sympathetic, even earning him his own twelve-issue comic series running from to This animated version of Larfleeze was very bit as entertaining as his comic counterpart and the character continues to be active in the DC Universe.
Hal Jordan's first alien friend, Tomar-Re's history solidifies him in comics and other media as a helpful guide to the grand world of the Green Lantern Corps and a loyal confidant to the leads. After twenty-four years of comic history, he was tragically killed by the villain Goldface in Green Lantern during the Crisis on Infinite Earths event.
But Tomar-Re's legacy continued in his Xudarian successors: his equally complex son Tomar-Tu who sadly joined the Darkstars and became a villain , then Somar-Le, and more recently, Trilla-Tru. Despite his main purpose of being an antagonist, the unmistakably villainous Sinestro has no less had a profound impact on the Green Lantern mythos.
Debuting in Green Lantern 7 by Broome and Kane, the iconic "Yellow Lantern" top villain of the mythos was once Hal Jordan's friend and mentor before his experiences drove him to see fear as the only true law.
His writing in the s elevated the character's complexity. Once a Green Lantern himself, Sinestro has cooperated with the side of good on numerous occasions, such as during the Blackest Night event, where the many factions of the "Emotional Spectrum" had to work together to defeat the power of death itself. His relationship with Hal Jordan allows them to develop together.
Rise of the Third Army also delved into the political rivalries between the Corps and the Guardians of the Universe. Both organizations are protectors of the cosmos.
But a change in membership and ethics often leads them to disagreements, especially in the face of a threat like the Third Army. Origin marked a rebooted birth of the Justice League, marking the debut of The New 52 universe. The Justice League comic book issue from the s kicks off with Batman meeting Hal Jordan and telling him about an impending attack by Darkseid.
Jordan comes off as a condescending figure as he shames Batman for not having any superpowers. However, as they start recruiting new members for the League, the Green Lantern does understand the significance of teamwork, and the seven heroes unite to fight off Darkseid and his Parademons.
Additionally, Batman and Lantern also engage in an exciting duel with Superman who initially sees them as threats. Hal Jordan has lost his job on Earth and just spends his days executing his daily duties as the Green Lantern. However, when he discovers an alien hiding in plain sight, he unearths a larger conspiracy that drives him to explore alien worlds, combating the intergalactic policemen called Darkstars, and even meeting god-like figures.
Penned by the legendary Grant Morrison, Intergalactic Lawman follows the narrative of a police procedural thriller instead of a generic superhero story. Moments of humor interspersed with psychedelic visuals also add a certain edge to this storyline. A space vampire for a villain and the return of Bronze Age Green Lanterns like Leezle Pon a virus and Medphyll a broccoli-headed creature add to the overall wackiness. This Flash comic book issue from the s finds the speedster running back in time and changing the present timeline.
However, despite this peaceful alternate reality, Sinestro gets tempted to know about his fate in a non-Flashpoint world the reality in which he turns evil. Though some of these arcs were clumsily handled, they served as an important step toward opening up the comic book industry to new faces and representations.
When Hal Jordan went crazy and destroyed the Green Lantern Corps, there was a single ring remaining in the whole universe. Kyle creates some of the most interesting constructs with his ring, stemming from his time as an illustrator. He surrounds himself with images inspired by mecha manga and wields outlandish weapons, making him one of the most visually interesting Green Lanterns.
His title within the Green Lantern Corps is Ringbearer, as he brought the Corps back from the brink of destruction. Guy Gardner is a classic meathead. Guy has been a part of the Green Lantern mythos for nearly as long as Hal Jordan. Originally chosen as backup for Hal Jordan, he always had a chip on his shoulder and a one-sided rivalry with Hal. But despite his flaws and lack of imagination, Guy has a good heart and a strong sense of justice—characteristics that at one time earned him a place in the Green Lantern Honor Guard.
The main job requirement for a Green Lantern is to overcome great fear, and none of the Green Lanterns on this list do that quite as well as Jessica Cruz does.
