## Summary

**Hal Jordan**, also known as **Green Lantern**, is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Jordan is a member and occasional leader of the intergalactic police force called the Green Lantern Corps. He was born in Coast City to Martin Jordan and Jessica Jordan. He lived with his older brother Jack and younger brother Jim. As a young child, he idolized his father, a test pilot who worked for Ferris Aircraft. At a very young age, he had to face his greatest fears when his father died in a plane crash right before his eyes. Despite his family's wishes, he followed in his father's footsteps and eventually joined the United States Air Force on his 18th birthday.

Many years later, a dying alien named Abin Sur, member of the Green Lantern Corps, crash-landed his starship in the Californian desert. Having selected a replacement officer for his position, the power ring chose Hal Jordan for his ability to overcome great fear. Ever since, Hal Jordan has been considered the most powerful Green Lantern of all time, become a Yellow Lantern, Blue Lantern, Red Lantern, Orange Lantern, White Lantern, and even Black Lantern. He is also one of the few characters whose story lines were not rebooted in DC's 2011 *Flashpoint,* as all of his stories from the **Post-Crisis** continuityy are still used and referenced in his **Post-Flashpoint** continuity.

Hal Jordan was created by writer John Broome and artist Gil Kane and first appeared in *Showcase* #22 in 1959.
