Hal Jordan Appreciation

[HAN9000]

Unfortunately no, it's Hal from Injustice Year One where his hair was inexplicably colored black

Um, it's from Injustice Year Two Annual, after Sinestro blew up the Ur-Forge.

[HAN9000]

Yeah, I'd totally like to see what type of personality he'd have.

I don't know if it would be more of a cliche if Jr. worshiped Hal (like Hal seems to view his father), or Jr. seemingly viewing his father as a disappointment.

Hal's grandson was named after him. So presumably Martin Jordan Jr. worships Hal just like Hal does to his father.

Oh yeah, you're right. They colored his hair right in Year Two except for that annual for some reason.

Yeah, Hal has often struck me as being kind of similar to a shonen protagonist, especially during/after Geoff Johns era GL. A lot of times it seems like his devotion to others is not often returned, though.

Yeah but he doesn't exactly expect it to be returned and that's what makes him who he is.

Indeed, Geoff Johns' Hal is very shonen-like.

Hal is like a certain wall-crawler....wealth & fame....he's ignored....action is.....his reward to himmmmmmm.......

I see. That is interesting.

Back to the Hal having a son thing, and keeping with the Goku similarities.....

I can see Hal's son being a lot like Gohan. I mean, it would make sense for Carol to be like Chi-Chi, and ensure their son not be a hard-traveling, cosmic hero.

I can see Hal trying to sneak his son out for a little cosmic adventure (after homework), and Carol having none of that. I can see Carol wanting their son to be anchored & Earth-bound, with Hal understanding, but also being frustrated by it at times.

I can see Hal's son not be a high-flying, seat of their pants adventurer, but still brave & heroic.

That would be a fun set-up, hopefully without the need for plot induced drama.


On a side note, I can also see John Stewart being a Piccolo styled-mentor to Hal's son.
