Green Lantern(Alan Scott)(1459)

**Alan Scott** is a young engineer who later on became the world's first Green Lantern and a member of the Justice Society of America.

## History

### Origin

Alan and his secret love Jimmy Henton traveled aboard a train to, according to him, try to escape from himself. The train would pass over a bridge that Alan designed; he recently outbid a rival engineer named Albert Dekker for that bridge contract, but a bomb exploded beneath the bridge derailing the train. Everyone on board was killed in the explosion – everyone but Alan Scott. When Alan woke up, he tried to save the dying Jimmy, who pointed out to him the presence of a strange green light among the wreckage. The Glowing Green light was the Starheart it found its way to Earth, where in 1939, in the shape of a lantern, it saved Alan from the train wreck. At the Lantern's mental direction, Alan fashioned a ring from it that allowed him to tap the Starheart's great power. Perhaps influenced subconsciously by the Starheart's history, Alan adopted the identity of Green Lantern. With this fantastic new power under his command, Alan set out to find Albert Dekker – the man responsible for blowing up the bridge and killing Jimmy. Glowing like a green phantom, he phased through the walls of Dekker's office and made him see justice.

After a revealing encounter with Jimmy's mother, Doris Henton, Alan promised her that he would continue to use that light, which she said was also in her son, to help people find their way through the darkness.

Alan Scott left ferroviary enginery and became employed in Apex Broadcasting Company, as a way to get any news about criminal activities in first hand. There he knew Doiby Dickles, a cab driver who became a sort of sidekick.

Unlike others who bear the name "Green Lantern," Alan Scott's power does not come from the Guardians of the Universe, but from the Starheart, a magical entity once imprisoned by the Guardians.

### Justice Society of America

Alan was a founding member of the Justice Society and was instrumental in many wartime battles. After the war, as a broadcast executive in the late forties, Alan kept the JSA informed with info he gathered while also still playing a major part in their activities as one of the most powerful members.

### Paralysis and death

With pressure from the US Government the JSA members all considered retirement, but Alan along with his Life partner Charles McNider AKA Doctor Mid-Nite decided to never give up their career's as Heroes and flat out refused.

The Goverment leaked personal information to severial groups that hated Gays and also severial groups including the KKK, One group ambushed Alan while he was saving the life of a family trapped in a burning building, they beat Alan so bad and broke his neck paralizing him.

Alan eventually constructed a suit of armor from the Starheart energy which acted as an exoskeleton and gave him back a degree of mobility.

On his final Mission They JSA were attacked by enhanced Nazi soldiers and while the public was finally made away of much of the JSA personal information including Alan and Charles being Gay, the Public reacted negative towards them and actually helped in the Nazi execution of both heroes.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **Starheart Empowerment**: Alan controls the mystical power of the Starheart, an ancient artifact created by the Guardians of the Universe to contain the predominate amount of magic they had gathered in the universe. After the destruction of his ring by Extant, the long-term proximity to the energy has left him able to direct the green flame and its attendant constructs by sheer willpower alone. Green Lantern has extensive energy manipulation powers able to effect the entire spectrum including gravity, radiation, heat, light. Creating solid objects allows him to make simple weapons, entrapment devices, common geometric shapes, gigantic hands and simple containers. It has been discovered that Alan's body is composed entirely of green flame.

### Weaknesses

* **Wood Flaw**: The energy is ineffective against wood. Items made of wood cannot be lifted or broken by energy from the ring nor can barriers of emerald energy stop projectiles crafted from wood. By extension, things made of plant-matter could potentially disrupt his power and were not affected by the ring's power as much as other substances were (so if he fired a blast at, say, a giant mutant Venus fly trap, the blast wouldn't be quite as effective if he'd fired the exact same beam at a human being or a brick wall). Apparently, this vulnerability to wood was because the green flame was an incarnation of "green, growing things" and thus could not be turned against them.
* **Restricted Mobility**: After having his neck snapped, Alan survived but suffered severe paralysis. Though other heroes volunteered to try to heal him, Alan couldn't risk the process breaking his concentration However, he got around his disability somewhat by using his ring to construct a suit of armor.
