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 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 . 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 , appeared and light comedy, usually involving his sidekick, Doiby Dickles.

Jun Green Lantern vs. the Meteor Monster!, Amanda rated it it was ok Shelves: me-and-ozman. I really don't like these adaptations. First off where the heck is ? Second I just did not like it at all. instead of Wonder woman??? Oz likes these so we'll probably keep reading them, haha. Jul 01, Steven R. McEvoy rated it really liked it Shelves: read My son recently picked this book as the one he wanted. His only experience with the Green Lantern was toys from kids' meals. But he loves the idea of a ring that can create what you think of. This book was a little weird; I find the depictions of the super heros way too childish. Their proportions and ratios compared to each other and to the things around them is way off. It made it hard for me to enjoy. Now on the other hand, my son loved it. He loved seeing the green lantern, batman, superman My son recently picked this book Green Lantern vs. the Meteor Monster! the one he wanted.
