Overview
- Hal Jordan is a high-ranking member of the prestigious Green Lantern Corps, an intergalactic police force. Armed with his power ring, which creates hard-light constructs of anything he can imagine and is powered by his will, Hal patrols Earth and fulfills the promise of the Green Lantern oath.
- A former military test pilot, Hal Jordan went from being a novelty, the first-ever human Green Lantern, to one of the most legendary Lanterns to ever wield a power ring. He is also one of the founding members of the Justice League of America.
Background
- As a young child, Hal Jordan idolized his father; a test pilot who worked for Ferris Aircraft. At a very young age, he had to face his greatest fears when his father died in a plane crash. Despite his family's wishes, he followed in his father's footsteps and eventually joined the United States Air Force as soon as he was eligible.
- Many years later, a dying alien named Abin Sur who had been a member of the Green Lantern Corps crash-landed his ship in the Californian desert. Selecting a replacement officer for his position, the power ring chose Hal Jordan for his ability to overcome great fear.
- Once infected by the fear entity known as Parallax, Hal wreaked devastation across the galaxy as the Green Lantern Corps' most deadly enemy. He fought his own battle with evil and won - and now has regained his position as one of the universe's mightiest heroes, on Earth and in space.
Alternate Future
- In the alternate future, while Superman is recharging at the Earth's sun, Hal, along with Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Batman, and Flash are fighting off Lex Luthor, Circe, Deathstroke, the Joker, Harley Quinn, Giganta, Metallo, and Black Adam. Green Lantern first appears when Giganta is hit in the face with a green blast, presumably killing her. Green Lantern is seen, but is then taunted by Black Adam, who flies away with Hal on his tail. Later on, Green Lantern flies into the ground, and is then seen picking up an unconscious Black Adam, only to send him flying into a broken wall. Soon after, it seems Black Adam is gaining the upper hand, destroying every shield Hal puts up to defend himself, finally, he tackles Hal and grabs his ring hand. While Black Adam is holding down Hal's hand, it becomes a battle of willpower instead of strength, by the looks of it, Black Adam is about to win. Flash tries to save Green Lantern, only to die with Hal when Black Adam shouts "Shazam" and the lightning bolt hits Green Lantern's ring which causes a huge explosion, blowing everyone away. Hal's ring is seen, after the explosion, broken with no owner.
