Mogo is life

Hal would be #1, with maybe Jessica as #2. I haven't read the series yet, but I'm interested in Far Sector and might put Jo as #3 when I get around to getting the trade

[Adekis]

I like Hal, but he's never going to be my absolute fave.

And I definitely agree that Mogo is the best Green Lantern, even though he's not my personal fave either.

Who is my personal fave? Hmm, might be Kyle? Used to be Kyle. I've been liking Guy more and more lately.

[EmeraldGladiator]

For me
1) Hal
2) Alan (Roy Thomas/Geoff Johns version)
3) John Stewart
4) Guy Gardner
5) Arisia
6) Jade
7) Jo Mullein (I like Far Sector)
Those are my top favorites but I like countless others like Kreon, Arkillo, Jack T. Chance

Voted for Kyle, but

"Raynor?" Poor Kyle, still gets no respect...

Yeah, it pissed me off lol

Which reminds me of a question I have years ago.

How do you fix a mispelled word in a poll or in a thread title?

[Celgress]

Of those listed these are my top five in order of favorite to least favorite -

1.) John Stewert
2.) Hal Jordan
2.) Kilowog
3.) Jessica Cruz
5.) Guy Gardner

I never clicked with either Jessica or Simon.
I've read JL Odyssey in trade and while it's been a decent read, I still don't connect with Jessica Cruz.
I disliked Simon Baz from the outset and while I've warmed to him a little, the character is my least favourite GL by a good measure.

Well, you can try to EDIT the post, but you may have to contact a moderator for changing the thread title.

In a poll, if you make a change to one of the options, you may erase the results that were already submitted (unless they've changed things since I last tried to). Unless you alter the poll option(s) pretty much right away, best to seek the help of a moderator for that.

New52 Carol and Kyle. Both are personal favorites and I thought they made an adorable couple during New 52 Green Lantern: New Guardians. Kyle has been awesome throughout all time but prior to New 52 (although this began to change in 2000s) uncrazed Carol was an irrelevant prop and little more than an object of affection for Hal Jordan. Emphasis on object of his affection.

Probably unpopular opinion:

I believe that the reason that Kyle & Carol was a disliked relationship is because of the age difference. Comic book fans are still mostly males who fantasize about younger women. To some, older women make penises flaccid. There are almost no superhero couples wherein the older, more experienced hero is female and their romantic partner is a young male doubling as an apprentice or sidekick. Meanwhile, it is pretty easy to find relationships where the male hero is an older mentor to the female hero or introduced her into crimefighting. Therefore, many rigid and fanatical pre52 fans found Kyle & Carol dissatisfying. Many will claim that they just didn't like the idea of Kyle "stealing" Hal's girl, while failing to realize that making such statements only further indicates their unsophisticated perception of Carol as an "object" that can be stolen rather than a person who has agency of her own and is capable of making her own decisions.

Unsurprisingly, Kyle & Carol relationship was discarded. Now here we are in 2021, post new52. Carol is "Hal's girl" again. And for the last five years, she is hardly ever mentioned, hardly ever seen. I suppose that in a way, the pre52 fanatics got what they wanted after all. Carol is back to being irrelevant. Pretty sad.

I'm gonna review that...
