NOTE: Some alterations were made to the original entry to focus solely on the Golden Age version of Air Wave.
Great character! I wish he would have been used more in All-Star Squadon.
-------yay!
I love this character. He's my go to answer for "most underrated".
I only discovered Air Wave when I bought GREEN LANTERN #100 in 1977. But I always liked his name and costume. Never read any solo stories.

I wish he would have been the one brought back in the Green Lantern annual.

The awful end to a potentially great character: It was revealed that Larry Jordan was killed by a man he had once prosecuted as a district attorney. Joe Parsons was an escaped convict who took revenge by breaking into Jordan's home. Larry's costume malfunctioned as he tried to protect his family and he died from a shotgun wound to the chest.
