I've decided to create this article because basically I'll be writing a lot of stuff about Green Lantern, the Corps and anything that is related to it. So before writing more about this subject matter, I would like to give my own definition or description about it base on what I know so far.
So what is a Green Lantern? Any comic book reader would perhaps know the answer to this question. Green Lantern is a comic book character, currently under DC Comics, which first saw publication as early as the 1940s. It is a superhero that is identified by the use of a powerful ring that generates green light and energy that he (or she) uses to combat evil. Throughout time, in comic book history, the superhero name has been shared by many characters (humans and non-humans) and has expanded out into animated series and movie.
As stated earlier, the comic book character started during the 1940s. Alan Scott was comics first Green Lantern and was known as one of the Golden Age superheroes. Later in the 1960s, the name is revived in the person of Hal Jordan, a test pilot, who was entrusted with a power ring and a power battery by a dying alien Abin Sur. Soon, others followed bearing the superhero name with the likes of John Stewart, Guy Gardner, and the latest so far is Kyle Rayner. But Green Lanterns are not limited to humans. Some notable (which in whole comprises the Green Lantern Corps) were drill sergeant Kilowog and the Guardians' most loyal corpsman Sala'ak.
