Are we sure about that?

Alan is gay now, but he could have figured that out later in life after he had already had children, or or Jenny could be adopted, or he could have used a surrogate so that... Would she still be green in all of these cases?

How old is Alan these days?

The gay man in his early 30s is an entirely different animal than a homosexual approaching 50 because of the formative eras that built them up and knocked them down.
A good point. This is what I'd like to happen soon on the Earth-2 series:
Alan is not full on gay, he's bisexual, so that means he coud've had a girlfreind before. He did! Together, they had a child, Jade and now they fight over custody. And Jade could become green because of some accident.
 
I'd of guest that Hal would be in the lead. I'm supprised how popular Alan is.


It would have been interesting to split the Alan choice into pre- and post-Flashpoint, since (even without the gay issue) they aren't really the same character.

Alan is now in his mid 20's, (late 20's if you want to be generous) to be contemporary with Jay and the rest. It's not an issue of him being bi-sexual at some point, it's an issue of age.

So your best options to see the character of Jade are limited to things like seeing a Jade from a parallel world, or a Jade who is the product of sperm donation traveling back from the future to the present. Or, worst case scenario, a "helena bertinelli" like retcon of Jade.

But the JSA are young now. I'm waiting for Ted Knight, my favorite JSAer to show up. Jack Knight is my favorite comic character of all time, but I'm okay with him being retconned out if it means getting another cool version of Ted.

Hal Jordan turned Kilowogs skull into an ashtray.

I could deal with that, and the murder of the rest of the Corps too.

Character building y'know?

But then my stomach turned in Day of Judgement when the ghosts of the entire Corps come back from the dead to forgive Hal Jordan his murder spree because deep down he's a decent person no matter how many horrible atrocities he is responsible for because who he is is more important than what he does and there is no relationship between the two states.

Which made me sick.

And then it turns out that no one died in Emerald Twilight and despite his mania Hal left the Corps in life support bubbles and...

So he didn't kill anyone and didn't have to be forgiven even though he had been forgiven by the ghosts of every one he had killed who weren't dead who... ?

MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!!

There's a dirty Nixonesque conspiracy to keep Jordan squeaky clean no mater how dirty and bloody his hands get.

He fucked a child.

Repeatedly.

No one cared.

Johns even rewrote history to make Arisia older than Jordan.

There are no consequences to Hal Jordan's caligulan appetites, that one day it is inevitable when he figures this out, Hal Jordan is going to snap again and butcher billions.

Kill him now.

Why wait for his next holocaust?
 
Oh right, thanks, if a MOD comes here, please move it there! And G'nort?

Why not G'Nort?

Other than the fact the OP specified the GLs from Earth?

Actually, NO, he didn't say FROM Earth. Just "Earth" Green Lanterns. And G'Nort served in the Justice League. Specifically, The JL Antarctica. Which as I recall IS on Earth. So.... If the OP wanted only HUMAN GLs, fine, then let them specify. Until, then... G'Nort.

I should have done that, but the DCnU Alan has only been around for three issues, and introduced as green lantern for one. I just feel that the character has not develpoed ennougth for anyone to judge, besides who the hell would vote for a three issue old character while all the others have been around for decades?

I have annother idea. Lets try and hope Jade is still on Earth-1, this time not related to Alan, how about annother alian GL? She is green after all. Renember, with Johns incharge, anything is possible :D
 
He fucked a child.

Repeatedly.

No one cared.

I liked Arisia when I was a teenager because she was close to my age, and it was interesting seeing a GL start out. But then she got popular and IIRC, they aged her up so she could be in a relationship with Hal. I thought it was creepy then. I wasn't aware of Johns retcon.....exactly how did that work? She's an immortal with the emotional maturity of a kid or what?
 
In Green lantern corps during the 80s while still having the body of a 15 year old, she tries to logic herself into Hal's bed by saying, "My planet spins on it's axis twice as fast as earth, so although I'm 15 earthican years old, I'm actually 30 alien years old. We're the same age, so why don't you do me?"

Johns however 25ish years later says that her planet spins on it's axis 10 times slower than earth, so that although she looks like a 12 -15 Teran year old, she's actually about 200 human years old, even though she's only had only 12 - 15 birthday cakes.

You can see the difference?

Why wait 25 years to cover up something no one remembers or cares about?

In the 80s, being a child myself, the idea that the ring forced both Arisia's body and mind to grow up immediately was odd, that she was zap suddenly altogether emotionally, mentally and physically an adult, that only seconds after this magical metamorphosis when Hal Jordan sees that she's a whole foot taller than she was the last time he was in her company, without finding out what it really means to have her ring murder Arisia's childhood, he sticks his tongue down her throat because deep down he had been looking for an excuse to get it on with a 14 year old for weeks now.

"Sigh"

I wonder if that can work in reverse?

Can Jordan or any other Green Lantern launch a mental attack against their opponent to turn then mentally and/or physically into 4 year olds?

Hey, when Captain Marvel and Stargirl were going out, at the very least they made out, but did she make out with both of Billy's bodies? The age appropriate one and the age inappropriate one?
 
The whole Arisia thing is a case of explaining something makes it even worse. As for Arisia, I recently re-read Emerald Knights and was reminded of how awesome she was in those books. She punched a Guardian!

Picard wouldn't do that.

Unless I'm remembering wrong, and I'm too lazy to go check, I think Kilowog was sad when Hal and Arisia started dating, since he had a crush on her. This was pre-Emerald Dawn and the retcon of making him the Corps tough-as-nails trainer. Back in the late 80's when he was introduced, he was a big softie.
 
He was a softie and hardie, but the hilarious thing was that he didn't realise that Guy Gardner was full of it, which is why they had a massive bromance.
 
Daw, Kilowog's still a softie. He's tough on his recruits because he knows what's out there waiting for them. When he's not working, though, he's the nicest and sweetest giant pig alien out there.
 
Was there ever a point outside of Cosmic Odyssey where John Stewart apologised to the Martian Manhunter?

I'm amazed they could ever work together after what happened.
 
Annother thing I don't understand about humans going out with aliens is how do they um.............do it? I mean surely the organs are different, and if Killowog fancied Arisia,
A) How, they look completely different, it's like us screwing a Sontaran. Would you screw a sontaran?
B) And how the hell would hey shag? How, I'm pretey sure Kilowog does not have what we would call a traditional penis, it's proberbly more like a hippos or a elephants. And Arisia may not have a compatible vagina.
