Green Lantern

 SuperFriends Team Member

Green Lantern, aka Hal Jordan is a superhero within the JLA whose power ring gives him incredible powers. His powers are useless against anything colored yellow.

History
Test pilot Hal Jordan was summoned by the Green Lantern of Earth's sector, Abin Sur. Abin's ship had crashed on Earth and he was dying, so he needed to pass his ring and his battery of power on to someone worthy of the name Green Lantern. And so he passed it on to Jordan, who became Green Lantern, and later joined the SuperFriends.

Background Information
Hal Jordan, test pilot and ring-bearer of Sector 2814 was DC Comics' Silver Age Green Lantern, and one of the co-founders of the Justice League of America in the DC Universe. Hal was trained by Sinestro as a member of the Green Lantern Corps. While training, he learned Sinestro's dark secrets and in turn they became mortal enemies. Hal and Oliver Queen are good friends, often adventuring together. His occasional love-interest was Carol Ferris, who was also his nemesis, Star Sapphire.

Green Lantern Corps
Some 3 billion years ago, natives of the overpopulated planet Maltus evolved into immortals of great power. They subsequently settled the planet Oa and declared themselves the Guardians of the Universe and enemies of evil after one of their own, the renegade scientist Krona, performed a forbidden experiment that had terrible consequences for the Universe at large. After a few trial and errors, the Guardians decided that their newest force of soldiers for good would consist of living beings, ones who had free will and strong moral character. To arm this new legion of celestial knights, the Guardians created the Power Rings, rings of inconceivably-advanced technology that allowed their wearers to project green beams of energy with which the bearer could conjure objects of any size or shape, limited only by his or her imagination and willpower. This eventually led to the formation of the Green Lantern Corps. They patrol different sectors of space as Intergalactic Space Patrolman.

Weapons
Power Ring, which can (to name a few):

The ring is ineffective against anything colored yellow (although this rule was sometimes disregarded on the show)
