Shealy Alan Scott is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comicsand the first character to bear the name Green Green Lantern vs. the Meteor Monster!. He was created by Martin Nodellfirst appearing in the comic book All-American Comics 16published in Alan Scott was created after Nodell became inspired by the characters from Greek, Norse, and Middle Eastern myths, including the folklore " Aladdin " from Green Lantern vs. the Meteor Monster! Thousand and One Nightsseeking to create a popular entertainment character who fought evil with the aid of a magic ring that grants him a variety of supernatural powers. Around this time DC also began experimenting with fictional crossovers between its characters, leading towards a shared universe of characters. As one of the publisher's most popular heroes, Alan became a founding member of the Justice Society of Americaone of the first such teams of "mystery men" or superheroes in comic books. Stories set on Earth-Two thereafter showed that Alan became the father to two superheroic children, the twins Obsidian and Jadeeach with powers a bit like his own. When in DC chose to reboot its internal continuity, it merged the worlds of Earth-One and Earth-Two, and Alan was again reimagined as an elder statesman of the DC Universethe magical Green Lantern of an earlier generation who coexists with the more science fiction-oriented heroes of the Green Lantern Corps. When DC brought back its internal Multiverse concept in the s, it reintroduced a new, young version of Alan on the new Earth-Two, this time as a gay man and the owner of a media conglomerate whose magical powers stem from his role as champion of the Green, an entity embodying plant life on Earth. Nodell wanted a colorful and interesting costume for his character, deriving from elements of Greek mythology. When I sent it in, I waited into the second week before I heard the word to come in. I was ushered into Mr. We worked on it for seven years [through ]. Nodell chose the name "Alan Scott" by flipping through New York telephone books until he got two names he liked. He served as the team's second chairman in 7, but departed following that issue and returned a few years later, remaining a regular character. His villains tended to be ordinary humans, but he did have a few paranormal ones, such as the immortal Vandal Savage and the zombie Solomon Grundy. Green Lantern proved popular and was given his own series, Green Lanternlater that year. Most of his adventures were set in New York. InAlan Scott was paired with a sidekick named Doiby Dicklesa rotund Brooklyn taxi driver, who would appear on a regular basis until InAlan also got a canine sidekick named Streak. The dog proved so popular that he starred in his own solo side-stories. After World War II, superheroes declined in popularity. Green Lantern was cancelled in after 38 issues and All-American Comics dropped superheroes in favor of westerns. He remained out of publication for 12 years, and even after his revival he never got another solo series. The new Green Lantern, named Hal Jordanwas empowered by Green Lantern vs. the Meteor Monster! masters to serve as an interstellar lawman and had many adventures set in outer space. His powers were similar to Alan's but he was otherwise completely unrelated—Alan Scott never existed as far as the new stories were concerned. Hal Jordan proved popular, but readers still had an interest in the old Green Lantern. Some years later, Alan Scott reappeared as a guest star in The Flash Green Lantern vs. the Meteor Monster! For most of the s and s, Alan Scott made guest appearances in books belonging to Silver Age characters, visiting their universe through magical or technological means. In Green Lantern vs. the Meteor Monster!, he appeared regularly alongside his Justice Society comrades in the revived All-Star Green Lantern vs. the Meteor Monster! and later Adventure Comics in stories set in the s. Inthe editors at DC Comics decided that all its characters should exist within the same setting and effected this change with the Crisis on Infinite Earths miniseries. Alan Scott now shared the same fictional world as Hal Jordan. DC Comics decided to write the character out of continuity in a one-shot book entitled Last Days of the Justice Societyin which he was "forever" trapped in an extra-dimensional realm. The character was brought back in the s due to fan interest. Rather than update Alan Scott as a contemporary young hero as had been done with Batman and Superman, Alan Scott was instead written as a veteran of World War II with a magically prolonged lifespan. To distinguish Alan Scott from Hal Jordan, his superhero codename was for a time changed to "Sentinel" and he lost his magic ring, manifesting his powers through his glowing hands instead. He first appears in Earth 2 3 with a completely redesigned sleek, solid green suit with no cape. Thousands of years ago, a mystical "green flame" fell to Earth in ancient China as a meteor. A voice in the flame predicted that it would act three times: once to bring death, once to bring life, and once to bring power. For the first prophecy, a lamp-maker crafted the green metal of the meteor into a lamp. In fear and as punishment for what they thought sacrilegethe local villagers killed him, only to be destroyed by a sudden burst of the green flame. Green Lantern vs. the Meteor Monster! the second, in modern times, the lamp came into the hands of a patient of a mental institution who fashioned the lamp into a modern train lantern. The green flame restored his sanity and gave him a new life. For the third, byafter having already fulfilled the first two-thirds of this prophecy, the lantern Green Lantern vs. the Meteor Monster! from the meteoric metal fell into the hands of Alan Scott, a young railroad engineer. 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 of red, purple, brown, yellow, and green. He becomes a crimefighter in his first adventure, defeating Green Lantern vs. the Meteor Monster! crooks who caused the accident. He also discovers his powers' weakness to wood when he is bludgeoned with a club. Scott uses his ring to fly, walk through solid objects by "moving through the fourth dimension", Green Lantern vs. the Meteor Monster! paralyze or blind people temporarily, hypnotize them, create rays of energy, melt metal as with a blowtorch, and cause dangerous objects to glow, among other things. It could also allow him and others to time travel. Occasionally, he uses it to read minds or create solid objects and force fields in the manner usually associated with fellow Green Lantern, Hal Jordan. His ring could protect him against any object made of metal, but would not protect him against any wood- or plant-based objects. During the s, Green Lantern seemed to alternate between serious adventure, particularly when Solomon Grundyhis nemesis, appeared and light comedy, usually involving his sidekick, Doiby Dickles. A part of Scott's early history is filled out with retroactive continuity. Green Lantern vs.
