Who was the first Earth-based "Green Lantern" you ever read in comic books?
Okay, a potentially confusing one, but I've tried to keep it to the more familiar current-and-former DC Green Lanterns from Earth.
So the question is, which is the first one you [B][U]read[/U][/B] about in a comic book? Any other candidates (from Earth or from other parts of space) can be included under "other", but please specify who in a separate post.
Choices listed here are:
* [B]Golden Age Alan Scott[/B] (Green Lantern introduced in 1940; later went by "Sentinal")
* [B]Hal Jordan[/B] (Silver Age Green Lantern first introduced in 1959)
* [B]Guy Gardner[/B] (first "backup" Green Lantern, introduced 1968; later went by "Warrior" and was a Red Lantern)
* [B]John Stewart[/B] (backup Green Lantern introduced in 1971; also was a Darkstar)
* [B]Kyle Rayner[/B] (introduced in 1994 when the GLC was destroyed; later went by "Ion")
* [B]Simon Baz[/B] (introduced in 2012 during the New 52)
* [B]Jessica Cruz[/B] (introduced in 2013; originally known as "Power Ring")
* [B]Jennifer-Lynn Hayden[/B] (initially Jade, daughter of Alan Scott; given GL ring by Kyle Rayner in 1998)
* [U]animated[/U] [B]Hal Jordan[/B] (seen in comic book based on the animated series published in 2011-2013)
* [I]New 52[/I] version of [B]Alan Scott[/B] (reimagined Alan from the series Earth 2; introduced 2012)
* other (please specify who/when in a separate post)
NOTE: There are [B]two[/B] "Hal Jordan" listings; one is for the Silver Age+ version first introduced in [I]Showcase #22[/I] (1959), while the other is for the version of Hal Jordan from "Green Lantern: The Animated Series" which had a comic book based on that show from 2011-2013.
ALSO NOTE: there are [B]two[/B] "Alan Scott" listings; one is for the more traditional Golden Age Green Lantern from 1940-2011, while the other is a more modern version introduced in the [I]New 52[/I] series [B][I]Earth 2[/I][/B].
