Publication history

The original Green Lantern was created by young struggling artist Martin Nodell, who was inspired by the sight of a New York Subway employee waving a red lantern to stop a train for track work and a green lantern once the track was clear. Martin Nodell (November 15 1915–December 9 2006 was an American Cartoonist and commercial artist best known as the creator of the Golden Age Superhero The New York City Subway is a Rapid transit system owned by the City of New York and leased to the New York City Transit Authority, a subsidiary agency With the name in hand and borrowing heavily from the story of Aladdin, Nodell created a mystical crimefighter who got his powers from the flame of a strange lamp. Aladdin (an Anglicisation of the Arabic name (originally Syrian Alāʼ ad-Dīn, Arabic: علاء الدين literally "nobility of the faith"

Nodell was teamed with writer Bill Finger, who wrote the scripts for stories, which were often drawn by Martin Nodell and sometimes by ghost artists such as Irwin Hasen. William "Bill" Finger ( February 8, 1914 &ndash January 18, 1974) was an American Comic strip and Comic Irwin Hasen (born July 8, 1918) is an American Cartoonist, whose work included the creation of the comic book character Wildcat

The character made his debut in All-American Comics #16 (July 1940). The art was credited to Nodell via his pseudonym "Mart Dellon". Like many creators of the time, Nodell hoped to keep the stigma of comic books from tarnishing his career in commercial illustration.

According to Mordecai Richler, "there is no doubt. . . that The Green Lantern has its origin in Hassidic mythology" ^[1]. However, Richler gives no reasons for saying this. Creator Martin Nodell has written that he originally intended to name the character Alan Ladd, after Aladdin, but changed the name to avoid confusion with the movie actor of the same name. Alan Walbridge Ladd ( September 3, 1913 – January 29, 1964) was an American film Actor. Nodell mentions Richard Wagner's opera cycle The Ring of the Nibelungen and the sight of a trainman's green railway lantern as inspirations. Der Ring des Nibelungen ( The Ring of the Nibelung) is a cycle of four epic Music dramas by the German composer ^[2]

Scott was a charter member of the Justice Society of America, beginning in All Star Comics #3 (Winter 1940). The Justice Society of America, or JSA, is a DC Comics Superhero group the first team of superheroes in Comic book history All Star Comics is a 1940s Comic book series from All-American Publications, one of the early companies that merged with National Periodical Publications He served as the team's second chairman, in #7, but departed following that issue and returned a few years later.

Fictional character biography

Discovery

Thousands of years ago, a mystical "green flame" fell to Earth. The voice of the flame prophesied that it would act three times: once to bring death, once to bring life, and once to bring power. By 1940, after having already fulfilled the first two-thirds of this prophecy, the flame had been fashioned into a metal lantern, which fell into the hands of Alan Scott, a young railroad engineer. A lantern is a Portable Lighting device used to illuminate broad areas An engineer is a person professionally engaged in a field of Engineering. Following a railroad bridge collapse, the flame instructs Scott in how to fashion a ring from its metal, to give him fantastic powers as the superhero Green Lantern. He adopts a colorful costume (setting himself apart from his successors, as he wore both red and purple in his outfit, besides the standard green) and becomes a crimefighter.

Scott uses his ring to fly, to walk through solid objects (by "moving through the fourth dimension"),^[3] to paralyze or blind people temporarily, to create rays of energy, to melt metal as with a blowtorch, and to cause dangerous objects to glow, among other things. Occasionally uses it to create solid objects and force fields in the manner usually associated with fellow Green Lantern Hal Jordan, and to read minds. Harold "Hal" Jordan is a Fictional character, a DC Comics Superhero. His ring could protect him against any object made of metal, but would not protect him against any wood or plant based objects. This was said to be because the green flame was an incarnation of the strength of "green, growing things".

During the 1940s, Green Lantern seemed to alternate between serious adventure - particularly when his arch-nemesis, Solomon Grundy, appeared - and light comedy, usually involving his sidekick Doiby Dickles. Solomon Grundy ( Cyrus Gold) is a fictional character published by DC Comics, a large strong Zombie Supervillain bearing a resemblance to Charles "Doiby" Dickles was the sidekick for Alan Scott, Earth's first Green Lantern. Toward the end of his Golden Age adventures, he was even reduced to the role of a sidekick to Streak the Wonder Dog, a heroic canine cut from the mold of Rin-Tin-Tin and Lassie. The Golden Age of Comic Books was a period in the history of American comic books generally thought as lasting from the 1930s until late 1940s during which Comic books The Canidae (ˈkænədiː ′kanə′dē family is a part of the order Carnivora within the Mammals (Class Mammalia Rin Tin Tin (often billed as Rin-Tin-Tin in the 1920s and 1930s was the name given to several related German Shepherd dogs seen in films and television dramas Lassie, a dog is a Fictional character that has starred in or been the subject of many radio shows, Movies, TV shows, and Books

Justice Society of America

Scott was a member of the JSA in 1951 when the team was investigated by the "Joint Congressional Un-American Activities Committee," a fictional organization based on the real-life House Un-American Activities Committee but stated to have been created after the death of Senator Joseph McCarthy on Earth-2. The House Committee on Un-American Activities ( HUAC or HCUA 1938–1975 was an investigative committee of the United States House of Representatives. Joseph Raymond McCarthy (November 14 1908 – May 2 1957 was an American politician who served as a Republican U The DC Multiverse is a Fictional continuity construct that exists in stories published by Comic book company DC Comics. They were accused of possible Communist sympathies and asked to reveal their identities. Communism is a Socioeconomic structure that promotes the establishment of an egalitarian, classless, stateless Society based A secret identity is an element of fiction wherein a character develops a separate Persona (usually adopting a Pseudonym) while keeping their true identity The JSA declined, and most of the membership retired in the 1950s.

One piece of retroactive continuity fills out Scott's early history: All-Star Squadron Annual #3 states that the JSA fought a being named Ian Karkull who imbued them with energy that retarded their aging, allowing Scott and many others (as well as their spouses) to remain active into the late 20th century without infirmity. Retroactive continuity is the deliberate changing of previously established facts in a work of serial fiction Ian Karkull is a fictional Supervillain in some comic-book titles published by DC Comics. The events of that incident also led to his taking a leave of absence from the JSA, explaining why the character vanished from the roster for a time.

Also, during this period, he and his friend Jay Garrick (also known as the Flash) had an encounter with Abin Sur, the Green Lantern who preceded Hal Jordan; tracking a criminal to Earth, Sur's ring is immobilised by his foe forming a yellow barrier around the ring. Jay Garrick is a Fictional character, a Comic book Superhero in the DC Comics universe and the first to use the name Abin Sur is a Fictional character and a Superhero from the DC Comics universe. Sur then secretly borrows Alan's ring after he and Jay were knocked unconscious. With the new ring, which lacks a weakness to yellow, Sur was able to take his foe by surprise and defeat him, before returning the ring to Alan and leaving Earth.

The team re-formed in the 1960s with Scott as a member, though little is known of their adventures during this time save for their team-ups with the Justice League of America, of the parallel world Earth-1, and a few cross-universe adventures Scott shared with Earth-1's Green Lantern, Hal Jordan. The Justice League sometimes called the Justice League of America or JLA for short is a Fictional DC Comics superhero team. Parallel universe or alternative reality is a self-contained separate reality coexisting with one's own Harold "Hal" Jordan is a Fictional character, a DC Comics Superhero.

From the late 1940s to the 1970s, Scott runs the Gotham Broadcasting Company (GBC). The company ends up ruined by creditors. The Psycho Pirate temporarily drives Alan mad and the rest of the JSA help him recover. The Psycho-Pirate is the name of two DC Comics Supervillains dating back to the Golden Age of Comics. Jay Garrick helps him start a new career as a scientist, although he eventually regains control of the GBC and is still running it to this day.

Progeny

It was eventually revealed that in the late 1950s or early 1960s, Scott marries the woman with the dual identity Rose and Thorn, and the two had a pair of children who would grow up to become the superheroes Jade and Obsidian of the team Infinity Inc.

Post-Crisis and Ragnarok

Following Crisis on Infinite Earths, which merged all parallel realities into one, the source of Scott's power would be retconned to be the mystical "Starheart", the gathered magical characteristics of the Earth-1 Universe by the Oan Guardians of the Universe.

Monarch is the name of three fictional DC Comics Supervillains The first Monarch is Hank Hall, formerly Hawk, who Extant also kills three of Scott's friends, Hourman, Atom and Dr. Mid-Nite.
