Green Lantern Respect Thread

[Astro Sinestro's Sparring Partner Find all posts View Profile Close Astro]

Hey everyone!

A bit ago someone posted a link to a wiki-article that was essentially a Hal Jordan/GL Respect Thread -- a thread filled with a bunch of Hal Jordan and GL 'feats'.

Anywho, the source of that stuff was a thread I did a while back, but that version was very incomplete. I recent re-organized that selfsame thread, and updated it, and hopefully you'll all enjoy.

Hal Jordan & the Green Lantern Corps Respect Thread

This is a thread dedicated to that paragon of power, the Emerald Knight, and the greatest Green Lantern of all time….Hal Jordan, along with his Comrades! This is just a thread to showcase some of his more impressive capabilities throughout history. It is by no means comprehensive, and I welcome any comments or editions you might have.

What I’ve decided to do is to not only showcase Hal’s specific abilities, but also those of his fellow corpsmen. The fact that he was the most powerful of all of them, and was more than once offered leadership should make it fairly clear that anything they could do, he could as well.

The Thread will be divided into 4 main sections; power feats, the second Hal as a physically fit human, the third a smattering of feats for various Corps members and the 4th will be scenes that, for me, encapsulate the character.

The power feat section will be divided up into various sections as well, for ease of use and reference, specifically into ‘raw power feats’ and ‘vs battles’. Something to note about the Raw Power Feats is that, in trying not to repeat myself too often and pad the thread out a lot of showings that ARE indicative of, say, Durability or Blasting Power aren’t going to be included under those headers because they come in the midst of a battle. Taking a shot from Superman or Marvel Marvel might be a great showing of durability, but it is first and foremost a vs showing, and so that is the section it will be under. Such things as taking giant explosions or destroying planets will be under the ‘raw feats’ header. Moreover, the specifically categorized sections will be only for Hal feats. As such, some very impressive feats raw power feats – from sealing black holes to manipulating time – can be found in the “other Green Lanterns” section. I hope this isn’t too much of an inconvenience for you all.

I hope you enjoy it.

Lets start this thread out by familiarizing ourselves with Hal Jordan’s origin.

Origin Story

Over the years, the story has been told many times in many different ways, but what I (and many other Hal Jordan fans) consider to be the most definitive version of this origin appeared in “New Frontier 5”, shown below.

He was chosen, a man entirely without fear, out of everyone on the planet.

A brief description of what the Power Ring is capable of.

Raw Power/Versatility Feats

Speed/Transport

This sub-section is dedicated to see Hal’s flight speed, teleportational abilities and his ability to create spacewarps.

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...2/gl158_03.jpg

Hal creates and travels through a space warp.

A mind-controlled Hal chases the Flash (Barry) and Barry just cannot shake him until he changes identities.


http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...f_A_211-10.jpg

Hal tracks and follows a ship through Hyperspace, making a trip of 132 Lightyears in a few moments. He brings the JLA in toe with him, and says that the ring can easily find it’s way back despite being in a “cosmic wilderness”.

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...f_A_212-19.jpg

Hal teleports various members of the JLA various places, despite not actually being near a good number of them.

End of Speed/Transport section

Time Travel/Time Manipulation

Here are just a few examples of Hal traveling through time…

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...n2/gl51_05.jpg

When Hal senses that he’s needed in the future, he simply travels through time with his ring as easily as he might travel through space.

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...n2/gl63_22.jpg

And again Hal travels through time.

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...2/4213f3c7.jpg

And again he travels through time.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...gacy_pg088.jpg


Tom and Marty (Good side of Hal imprinted upon the ring) travel through time to stop Hal Jordan from destroying the Corps. They are intercepted by Parallax.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...ers_07_p13.jpg

Hal sends the Time Masters through time. The ring also knows when and where to find Atlantis.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5..._642_12_GL.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5..._642_22_GL.jpg

On the verge of death, Hal stops time (stretching a nanosecond into Eternity) and teleports or transports beings from all across the planet to decide someone worthy to carry on for him. He later decides that he in fact doesn’t want to die, and wills himself to life with the ring.

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...2/ee04c321.jpg

Hal frees himself from a Time Warp.

http://i83.imagethrust.com/images/5t...-p-11--12.html

http://i83.imagethrust.com/images/5t...b-6--p-13.html

Hal supercharged a Zeta Beam so that it travels through time and locks onto Batman.

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...2/a22a8b50.jpg

Hal either stops time for an entire system or causes every being in the system to freeze. Either way, pretty impressive I would say.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...tern026-12.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...tern026-14.jpg

Lifting/Moving feats

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...n2/gl63_20.jpg

Hal, transported through time, encounters a giant speeding planetoid en route to hit the earth. This plantetoid turns out to be THE MOON.

Hal stops the moon from colliding with the earth (at what speeds we don’t know, though if it came from deep space the speed of it must have been impressive) and puts it into orbit around the earth.


http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...2/gl149_16.jpg

Hal teaches Arisia how to create a device to heat a world tilted off it’s axis and freezing to death, and almost instantaneously does the job. The two also prove capable of hauling a crystalline planetoid without too much trouble.

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...2/gl166_05.jpg

Hal toes a space city torn from it’s bearings.

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...ern_107-09.jpg

When the planet Ungara is threatened by a massive comet, Hal goes to move the planet out of the way of the comet. When he gets there, however, he is met by hostility and surprise attacked. Without enough time to move the planet safely, he uses the planet’s moon to play a game of cosmic pool.

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...tern024_27.jpg

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...2/344ad9ec.jpg

When a strange, almost cancerous growth is found in the center of a living planet, Hal removes it and ejects it into space. The “growth” is apparently large enough that it can be classified as a moon of the planet.

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...2/87b7bfef.jpg

Hal stops and steadies the wobbling moon.

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...2/add8db95.jpg

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...2/7d4466d7.jpg

Hal, disguised as Batman, moves the moon all the way from Planet Earth!

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...2/cd078a17.jpg

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...2/69af113e.jpg

Hal easily redirects the entire Justice League Satellite into Space and into Orbit!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...15NastyNat.jpg

Lifts up a scientific lab/city thing.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...n/gl179_09.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...n/gl179_14.jpg

Hal does what Tomar Re couldn’t and saves a planet from destruction. (this type of destruction was the same type visited upon Krypton).


Blasting power

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...2/2dd2a9f9.jpg

Hal opens up Eclipso’s satellite with little effort, though it were nothing more than a glorified tin can.

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...2/89f32ddb.jpg

Hal uses his ring to rekindle a dying Star-Sun, enabling the planets of the system to flourish.

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...ica_189-14.jpg

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...ica_189-15.jpg


Superman brings Hal to the Fortress of Solitude to test the limits of his Emerald Energies and finds that his power “defies quantification”.

The real gold here, however, is Hal’s reaction to Superman’s discovery. A shrug of the shoulders and an easy smile, in the self assured manner of one who is at peace with himself.

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...ica_140-21.jpg

This one is hard to call a feat, but I thought I’d include it regardless.

Hal only THINKS that he has caused the planet to be destroyed…It was, in actuality, an illusion created by the Manhunters to discredit the Green Lantern Corps.

I thought it bore at least a mention, since Hal did indeed think he was capable of such a feat on his own, as did pretty much everyone else.

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...2/gl157_05.jpg

Hal easily defeats a rock monster (created by Hector Hammond) and destroys a large asteroid, which was once home to his base of operations in space. He does so with no apparent strain.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...0Jordan/15.jpg

Hal blasts a huge hole in Amazo, who has the combined abilities of the Justice League (including Superman and Wonder Woman)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...n/gl172_03.jpg

Rookie Hal (he just got the ring) survives a nuclear explosion.

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...ica_207-09.jpg

Hal created a prison that was capable of holding Ultra-Man, the Crime Syndicate’s version of Superman (Less powerful, more than likely, but still…). Power Girl also proves incapable of shattering the construct, and it takes the combined power of Dr. Fate and Starman to do the job.



http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...n2/gl63_17.jpg

Hal contains gases that could destroy a planet.

http://i84.imagethrust.com/images/5s...l-shields.html

A hastily constructed shield protects Hal from an explosion that is more powerful than a nuclear blast.

Easily survives the ground zero destruction of a Manhunter robot, which was described as “going off like a nuke” and would have “destroyed everything within a 25 mile radius”.

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/.../JLA042_20.jpg

Hal protects himself and his friends from a Super Nova, and then converts his friends to “Negative Radiant energy”.

Love this one.

Hal, shorn of his memory, creates a bubble around he and power girl that totally protects them from the most powerful blasts of Sonar (who, at the time, nearly had the whole league on the ropes). While Sonar blasts away, an amnesiac Hal has sex with POWER GIRL in the bubble!

THEN its revealed that the female Doctor Light has ALSO fallen in love with Hal!

Then Hal protects them all from some sort of ultimate bomb set off by Sonar, and masks their life signs from him.

God damn, gets the ladies and gets the job done.

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v5.../Hal%20Jordan/

Hal rings a soundproof barrier around an entire world, effectively trapping Star Sapphire on it.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...16NastyNat.jpg

Protects himself from a giant explosion, holds a bunch of aliens in force fields, and then creates a number of hand weapons for them to fight it out with.

Energy Manipulation/Absorption

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...gl63_18_19.jpg

Hal redirects radiations back to their source, high-density radiations that could apparently destroy all life on the planet earth and all potential life on said planet.


http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...2/674266c2.jpg

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...2/db4679d5.jpg

Hal shrinks a nuclear explosion to the size of a fire cracker, then creates Anti-Energy to counteract energy blasts.

When Dr. Polaris rips a portal in the fabric of the universe itself into the heart of the universe and begins to feed off of the magnetic powers inherent in this strange new dimension, Hal takes on and matches the master magnetist, even as his power increases to the point that he can “destroy planets”.

When his power increases to the point that he is untouchable, Hal uses his ring to pump him so full of power that he is ripped apart.

This one may seem iffy for energy manipulation, but bear with me.

Hal’s ring transports his and Superman’s spirits back to their normal bodies.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...tern168-15.jpg

When a device causes Hal’s ring to expel it’s energy, Hal remains capable of controlling it, then just absorbs it back into his ring.

Molecular/Genetic Manipulation

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...GL008SA-13.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...GL008SA-16.jpg

When Hal’s girl is taken by a group of alien-beings, Hal shrinks himself down to follow to the point that the atoms look massive comparatively speaking.


http://img160.imageshack.us/my.php?i...vegl1009ch.jpg

Hal uses the ring to make Airwave visible and coherent.


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...2/df81594b.jpg

When Hal and Barry are trapped in a constrictor, Hal uses his ring first to scan for weak spots, then to give a close up of the molecular structure, than to rearrange that structure.


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...2/ad87c718.jpg

When Sinestro creates the Empath-Star with his ring, a living star which can amplify the natural aptitudes of any who approach (Making fearless GL’s like Hal dangerously reckless and making slow and steady guys like Flash horribly slow to react..), Hal bombards the star packing down it’s Atom’s to create a shell (With an assist from Barry, natch). 

When Hal Jordan is sought out by an alien looking for the best pilot on the planet to pilot its war ships, his aircraft is disintegrated.

Rather than outright attacking the creature, he seeks to find out more about its case and finds out that it is, upon further inspection, a conglomeration of beings, meaning that its reaction time is slow and deliberate. He speeds up their neural firings.

This is also notable because it implies that he could simply re-create the plane that had previously been “completely disintegrated”, a heavy matter manipulation feat.

When confronted by the former Wrath of God Eclipso, Hal creates a giant solar receptor to keep Eclipso’s massive satellite from getting any power whatsoever, simultaneously draining the satellites power.

While not particularly impressive on a power scale, I think it bespeaks of a certain degree of intelligence and cunning that can only be associated with Hal Jordan. 


Psychic Resistance/Abilities

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...2/3829e2f4.jpg

Hal, playing along with the Alien’s ruse, takes over the mind of every being on the planet.

Hal, absorbed into the Shark’s mind, exerts his will power and causes such pain to the Shark that he is forced to release Hal.

Shark’s mental powers are monumental, and have been known to KO guys like Superman and the rest of the league on occasion.

Hal first protects himself from Hector Hammond’s powers completely. Then allows him into his mind so that he can experience some of his memories, then FORCES him out of his mind, then uses his ring to reactivate his pain centers, then beats him up real good.

Hal’s ring surrounds Superman and the entire Justice League in a special Aura that protects them against the mental manipulations of the Shark. If it can do that to just any ole person, imagine the protection Hal himself has…?

When a government plane is found to have alien components, Hal Jordan scans the thing, giving him a large amount of information (The reason that the technologies point of origin could not be found is because it is Manhunter technology, from the artificial world Biot, whose exact location is unknown even to the Guardians).

When the feat entity Parallax takes over the body of the Guardian Ganthet, it is up to the Green Lanterns of Earth to defeat him before he spread fear and destruction throughout the planet and, eventually, the universe. They meet no little resistance, however, as Parallax strikes back despite their greatest effort.

It is Hal Jordan who comes up with the plan to defeat Parallax, and it is Hal Jordan who proves capable of resisting Parallax’s power when all else fail.

Hal Jordan confronts an insane and deranged “Kyle Rayner” as Ion. He tries to talk him down, to calm him down and take him to get help, but “Kyle” gets enraged and attacks him, seemingly trying to kill him. Hal battles him and ultimately defeats him with one large blast.

Turns out, its not Kyle Rayner at all, but instead a powered up Nero, drawing upon Kyle’s (Now Ion) energies.

When the combined power of a race seeks to wreak vengeance upon the Guardians for their horrible fate, the entire Corps is hard pressed to even contain this Legion. Easily surviving a nuclear explosion and tracking GL’s across the void, along with killing multiple GL’s in it’s rampage and taking on an entire army of GL’s at once are on his resume.

Above is his confrontation with Hal.

Ouch.

When Legion feeds off the Oan energies inherent in the planet itself, the entire corps is insufficient to the task of containing it and removing it. Hal enters the power battery, feeds off it’s energies directly, and single handily defeats the threat.

The Guardian’s themselves were in awe of the feat, and had up until that point thought entering the battery impossible.

The Triarch were three gods of the Oan race, long forgotten and dead. When they seemingly return to life to destroy the universe, even the Controllers and the Guardians are terribly afraid. In actuality they are not the true gods but instead the ultimate weapon of one of the controllers, sent out and awoken to destroy all the “unworthy” planets in the universe.

Above is Hal’s confrontation with the Triarch in which he actually manages to EFFECT one of them. He also manages to resist being transformed into an Oan AND one of the beings attempt at mind control.

He doesn’t actually defeat them, but he comes up with the plan that saves everyone.

Having analyzed the constrictor earlier, Hal effortlessly recreates it to defeat evil doppelgangers of himself and Barry. This is especially impressive because Hal had to overcome the fact that his fighting edge was gone (all the evil, and therefore aggressiveness, was removed from his body).

Hal overcomes both Anti-Matter and Yellow energy beams coming from all directions using his power and intelligence, a gauntlet that another GL proved incapable of surviving.

When Dr. Polaris rips a portal in the fabric of the universe itself into the heart of the universe and begins to feed off of the magnetic powers inherent in this strange new dimension, Hal takes on and matches the master magnetist, even as his power increases to the point that he can “destroy planets”.

When his power increases to the point that he is untouchable, Hal uses his ring to pump him so full of power that he is ripped apart.

When Hal is teleported through time by people thousands of years in the future, he accidentally disintegrates a massive, alien, futuristic space fleet that the futuristic human world was incapable of defeating.

When the Shaggy Man, currently the General, attacks the League they are essentially impotent to stop him. The entire League is needed to even stalemate the monster.

Hal Jordan then enters the fray, and shrinks the Shaggy Man to the size of a pea (Take THAT, Hulk!)

http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/...JLA_186-17.jpg

Hal fights and stalemates the Shaggy Man for an hour, even after it had evolved past his attack (The Original Shaggy Man evolved to attacks so that the same one could never be used twice, which is why he couldn’t simply shrink him down again).


http://img151.imageshack.us/my.php?i...anned076rl.jpg

When the General (General Eiling in the body of the Shaggy Man) attacks a military base, Hal Jordan is forced to confront the beast. He creates a power ring image of the original Shaggy Man, and physically beats the beast into submission, a feat never before accomplished.

Hal, insane and dangerously unstable, decides that he needs to reclaim his title as Green Lantern. He takes the ring from Kyle, and proceeds to use the ring to take on the entire JLA and defeat them readily.

While the argument about whether he used his Parallax energies at the time still rages, given that the power only came from his ring hand, and his state of mind, I’d argue that this was just Hal with the ring. You, of course, should make up your own mind.

When a being known as the Anarchist finds a way to leech the yellow component of Hal’s emerald energies from his ring, he confronts the Justice League (Sans Hal) and does an incredible job of defeating them, using their very costumes against them and creating forcefields around his goons impenetrable to the Flash.

This one is a particularly fun one, I think. When Nekron the Fear Parasite, a being from a dimension that sees “Courage” and “Fear” as tangible essences, comes to Earth he faces off against the Justice League, causing within them immense fear (Including the likes of Superman and Barry Allen). They decide to disband the Justice League because of this fear, and only through the actions of Diana do they manage to pull together enough to face Nekron and ultimately defeat him.

However, BEFORE Diana and the rest of the league make their last stand against the Fear Parasite, Hal confronts him. His very presence causes immense pain in the Fear Parasite (He feeds off of fear, courage hurts him) and he very nearly defeats the beast before being felled from behind by a yellow attack.

Love this one.

Hal, shorn of his memory, creates a bubble around he and power girl that totally protects them from the most powerful blasts of Sonar (who, at the time, nearly had the whole league on the ropes). While Sonar blasts away, an amnesiac Hal has sex with POWER GIRL in the bubble!

THEN its revealed that the female Doctor Light has ALSO fallen in love with Hal!

Then Hal protects them all from some sort of ultimate bomb set off by Sonar, and masks their life signs from him.

God damn, gets the ladies and gets the job done.

When faced with against Paragon, a being with the combined powers of the Justice League (To a greater level and able to manipulate them all with a greater level of skill) Hal states that he’s stopped Superman in his tracks.

And then gets promptly defeated by someone whose strength is greater than that of Superman and Wonder Woman COMBINED.

Hal Jordan confronts the frighteningly powerful (Along with insane) Lord Malvolio of the Green Flame. He has no weakness to yellow, he has no time limit, he has virtually no limits. According to his creator (Priest) the entire giant space station (colored yellow) they fought on, the entire planet, was just a construction of his ring, his will power.

Hal is punched through a planet, feels nothing.

Hal battles him and takes him down to china town.

When Mary Marvel thinks Hal Jordan is nothing but an illusion created by the evil Mind, she suddenly and savagely attacks Hal (We can assume she wasn’t holding back for an illusion).

Hal takes a few of her surprise hits without breaking a sweat, blocking her second blow but good.

Mary Marvel has been known to take out the likes of Captain Atom.

When Sonar uses his sonic abilities to affect Hal’s mind causing illusions, Hal uses his ring to undo the illusionary attack, making himself immune to the effects.

When Hal’s ring is malfunctioning, Hal must still face the evil Sonar, so he plans ahead by creating a “pocket” of Green Lantern energy to hold in reserve/advance that would respond to his mental command, should his GL ring fail.

When, his GL ring DOES fail, while in the middle of a battle with Sonar. Sonar’s weapon actually proves capable of shattering Hal partially…until he calls his reserve Green Lantern energy to heal his injuries, also making him immune to Sonar’s attack.

Disgusted with the evil he sees throughout his world, Alan Scott commands his ring to remove all evil from the planet Earth, and it does exactly that. But since every human on earth has some amount of evil in them, it teleported every person on the planet across the dimensional gulf to Hal’s earth and put them in suspended animation.

When a group of explorers come to this Green Lantern’s home system and being to use their equipment to increase the heat of the sun, the oceans of their world begin to boil. When he confronts them, he learns that they are in fact trying to save their people, and have found a habitable planet in said system, save for the fact that the sun is not warm enough. As a result, the Green Lantern moves his planet far enough away as to negate the temperature difference.

Two GL's, rookies (Even moreso than the GL who died in the first issue of Recharge) guard the area around a star that is heavily unstable.

The star goes nova (Which the GL's survive without issue), and forms a black hole instantly (Thanks to, we can assume, the technology of the Spider Guild). Now, they seem unable to escape the pull of the black hole and even together they can't save the ship also being pulled into the black hole, BUT they SURVIVE the black hole just fine!

As did, apparently, a Korugian GL earlier!

Then Kilowog comes in, actually pulls the ship from harm's way without any notable trouble, and dives in after them, confident in his own ability to survive the trip.

This is an interesting one. Its not really about feats, but an interesting survey on the things the ring is capable of.

A rookie Green Lantern (This was his first mission) questions the ring on the nature of its abilities and you get the above.

Important to note, Time Travel is certainly considered feasible, but MORE impressive is the idea that he might be capable of shifting the entire time stream, of turning back time. While it might “imperil reality” and THIS rookie didn’t have the sufficient will power at the time, the idea that a greater Green Lantern with a greater will might be capable of it is certainly interesting…….

Hal the Man

This is a section meant to highlight a few scenes that, to me, helped define the character of Hal Jordan, helped not to show him to be the physical powerhouse that he is, but to be a spiritual and mental juggernaut. In short, I hope that this section will make clear why Hal was, is, and always WILL be the best.

http://img288.echo.cx/my.php?image=6...ratedcp9wc.jpg


I’m starting this section off not with a moment that necessarily shows his unconquerable will, but rather his deep reverence for life, and the trauma caused to him when forced to take a life. I think it really speaks to his purity that, when the order of the day was murder on a large scale, he not only did his job without killing, but did it with distinction.

http://img146.echo.cx/img146/6640/gr...52005teamd.jpg

This, to me, is classic Hal Jordan. Fearless, he refuses to accept the dictates of those “better” or “more powerful” than himself. That’s what he’s all about, and always has been about; it doesn’t matter the odds, because he’ll ALWAYS find a way to win against those more powerful than himself.

When Evil Star confronts Hal, he gives him this simple choice; Allow me to turn you to the side of evil with a special ray I have developed, or I destroy a planet. Hal never hesistates, never falters. He sacrifices himself in an instant.

I think this is especially meaningful because it goes merely dying for a cause; What Starthief does to him, what Hal is allowing to be done to him, is the twisting of all his ideals, the fouling of everything he once deemed holy, changing the fundamental person he is, right down to the Soul.

I think that takes an unimaginable amount of courage.

But whats more is that he overcomes the tampering done to his soul through sheer willpower, once again being true to himself.

Hal, possessed by the Parallax entity, sacrifices his life to defeat the sun eater, rekindle the sun to full power and restore the earth to full life and health.


http://img22.echo.cx/img22/1908/gree...42005teamd.jpg

When the Parallax Entity, a creature born at the beginning of sentience, took over the soul of Hal Jordan, not even the Spectre could fully purge him of its taint. Slowly it gained more power, forcing Hal to destroy the Corps and steal the power of the Battery. Now it has completely submerged his consciousness, taking only his form and the Spectre’s power. In one tremendous showing of will power, Hal regains control of the amalgamation, and with the help of the Spectre frees himself from the taint.

A wonderful confrontation with Batman, on the heels of the corps defeating Parallax. Hal defiantly tells Batman that he doesn’t much care what Batman thinks of him, and that he’s content with himself.

However, if it is risking ones life that is to be admired, aside from simply going into battle every day with the forces of evil, Hal has shown countless times that he’s willing to face certain death with a shrug and a smile to help a friend or save an innocent.

When Dr. Polaris nearly kills Pieface with a series of tests, Hal uses the last reserve of his ring, the reserve used to protect him from mortal harm and that is supposed to be unable to be actively used by the ring bearer (No bar to someone of Hal’s will power, apparently) to save Pieface and protect him, opting to get into a fistcuffs battle with the frighteningly powerful Polaris.

In this issue it does indeed cost him his life.

Hal comes back to Ferris after a prolonged exile in space, to find that new research is being done at his old workplace. Somehow, through sheer force of will, Hal is able to make a paper airplane fly using a machine that didn’t even work!

Hal is offered leadership of the GL Corps, but refuses the honor despite the fact that everyone believes he deserves it. I think it is a very interesting dimension to Hal, the fact that he’s never felt the need to be in the spotlight or be the leader or the best. He’s never cared about the power he wielded, only the amount of good it allowed him to do.

I find that very admirable.

I just really think this expresses just how much Hal was loved by his hero community. He comes to the Justice League headquarters for a visit and they fall all over themselves to get him to join. Hal always was a very easy person to get along with and even easier to admire. The above shows that perfectly.

A wonderful exchange between Green Arrow and Hal.

When the Corps’ spirit is nearly broken by the seemingly inevitable end they must meet at the hands of Krona and his dark master Nekron, Lord of the Unliving they very nearly give up to spend their last few moments with their loved ones.

But Hal refuses to give up, and through his heroism and courage he inspires to the Corps to go once more into the breach and die with weapon in hand and battle cry in throat!

Above is perhaps the single greatest Green Lantern and Hal Jordan scene in history. The above perfectly illustrates what it means to be a Green Lantern, and what it means to be a hero. Hal charges headfirst into a realm whose very reality seeks his death and shows what it means to be a Green Lantern.

Thanks for the praise! It's much appreciated!

As a favor to me, if you could just let me know if you hit any dead links, I would appreciate. There are a lot of scans in this, and I didn't have time to go over all my old links to see which ones might be dead or alive. Hopefully it won't be too many.

Anyway, hope you enjoy it!

Uh, I didn't sticky this for the record. Or at least I didn't mean to.

Sorry to the admin/mods if I did it on accident?

Dang, I didn't know the advanced power rings from 167 looked different. Well, more rings for me, I guess.

Some of those images are gone. You might wanna go through them again.

Hmm, it appears that there is an issue with the manner in which I hotlinked them. I'll fix it and edit my post within the week.

In the meantime, you can see the links if you copy and paste the link into your explore bar.

Where in the name of Wonder Woman's Star Spangled thong did you get the time to write this?

No that was me that stuck it. Something of this magnitude deserves a more permanent spot on this thread, I think.

Thank You

I want to thank your for posting this tremendous resource about Hal Jordan's power!

There were many feats that I was unaware of and I've cited this thread to many comic fans who thought Hal's abilities were limited to the " Boxing Glove" caricature.

You'd be surprised, it didn't take so long for me to write/create it.

I've been tinkering with it for years now, reorganizing it, adding to it, etc but I own all the issues and all of his guest appearances so it wasn't a big deal.

I continue to add to my word document as new things arise for both Hal and the rest of the Corps.

Amazing job with this thread Astro, this is required reading for any comic book fan thinking of jumping on board GL.
