And when Guy and Hal both became injured, the ring chose John Stewart as another alternate GL (more on him in a moment). Hal and Guy eventually met up and became allies, with Guy occasionally stepping in to take Hal's place. When Hal Jordan was chosen to join the Green Lantern Corps by his power ring, the ring also found a potential backup to wear it in the event that Hal was somehow unable to serve as a Green Lantern - and that backup was Guy Gardner, a kinda affable, jock-ish gym teacher with a heart of gold, who debuted in 1968's Green Lantern #59 by John Broome and Gil Kane. Even when he was dead for a time in the '90s after turning into the evil Parallax, he remained on the mind of Green Lantern fans, and loomed large over the GL legacy - though we'll get to that story in a bit. Hal is the original Green Lantern of the Justice League, and is one of the team's most iconic members in addition to being arguably the most iconic Green Lantern. He's also the first human to be part of the GL Corps, a circumstance which has made Earth one of the most spotlighted planets in all of Sector 2814, which covers an entire region of the galaxy. Hal is brash and arrogant - qualities befitting a test pilot - and has shown almost unparalleled willpower, the main quality needed to effectively wield a Green Lantern ring. Introduced in 1959's Showcase #22 by John Broome and Gil Kane, Hal Jordan is a daring test pilot who is inducted into the Green Lantern Corps after one of the Corps' vaunted power rings chooses him to take its former wearer's place. ![]() Hal Jordan is the most famous Green Lantern, as the hero who revived the concept in the superhero renaissance of the Silver Age.
