    Default Marvel's Equivalent of the Green Lantern Corps is _____.

    Did we ever resolve the question as to which organization is Marvel's closest analog to the Green Lantern Corps? Is it the Nova Corps? The Protectors of the Universe?? The Captain Britain Corps??? The Captain Universe brigade???? Something else?????

    All thoughts and opinions welcome.

    I'm sure it's the Nova Corps.

    I think it's the Nova Corps on a galactic level, the Captain Britain Corps on a multiversal level.

    Both Richard Rider and Brian Braddock are primed to have Hal Jordan-esque origin recruitment stories told in the MCU.

    I think we'll all end up saying Nova Corps for this one lol

    Yeah, down to the "gets annihilated twice a year" part.
    Bringing back the old, killing the young: that's the Marvel way

    The Nova Corps due to the way it’s structured.

    Quasar is the Marvel Green Lantern, due to his powerset.

    Never really thought about it but Quasar is more like Alan Scott than Hal Jordan.

    Hmmm. Seems plausible. I mean, Quasar's the "Protector of the Universe" after all...

    Unequivocally Nova Corps.

    Richard Rider was given his powers like Hal/Kyle; Nova Force comes from the Worldmind like the central battery. Nova Corps maintains law and order around the galaxy, but keep getting destroyed (like the Green Lantern Corps). It usually always comes down to Richard Rider to reform and lead the Nova Corps (like Hal/Kyle).

    Captain Britain Corps is its own thing, just due to the fact that it is the same person but alternate reality versions. They are not granted powers by joining the Corps; they already have their Captain Britain powers and join the Corp for teamwork.

    It's definitely the Nova Corps. Richard Rider and Hal Jordan pretty much have identical origins. A previous Corpsman dies, and hands over their powers with their last breath.

    Were the Spectrums ever considered part of an organization? I always thought it was just a random individual who happened to get their hands on a prism and not a specific group entity with a mission statement, membership, leadership/central governing body, common power source, guidelines, etc.
