## Canon

Carol Ferris has been featured as Hal's love interest in *Green Lantern* comics and medias. Like most heroes in love with a civilian, Hal kept Carol in the dark of him being Green Lantern despite the encounters she has had with his hero self. She is one of the reasons why Hal wears a mask to hide his identity, while other Green Lanterns never saw the need for one for such a reason. Despite the two being boss and employee at Ferris Aircraft and how these kind of relationships are frown upon in the work placement world, Hal and Carol wouldn't help but fall in love with one another. Even though Carol tends to scold Hal for being a loose cannon and his history of disobeying orders rules into to achieve success. Carol eventually finds out Hal's secret and after she too became a lantern, however, the love energy from her pink Star Sapphire ring consumed her. Making Star Sapphire one of Green Lantern's enemies, even though some versions do have Carol fighting off her ring's strong side affects or gives it up. Even with both of them as Lanterns, the two have fallen into a pattern of breaking up and ending up together again, before something else gets them to be off and then on again.

The series' first scene of Earth is of Carol staying in touch with Hal as he tests one of her company's plains, even though he ends up destroying it to save some people as Green Lantern. Carol has had a few encounters with Green Lantern, who has told her a few things about him and his ring, but Hal couldn't tell her that he and the green colored hero are one of the same. Which is why Hal was forced to tell Carol a lie as to how the plain got destroyed and has to put his plans of taking Carol out to dinner on hold. Despite the many times Carol has told them why a relationship between them won't work, Hal doesn't let it stop him from believing that they can make it work, from the times Carol has been shown to worry and care about him.

Luckily Carol remembered her ring's ability to summon the person she loves and used her feelings for Hal to call upon his. Seeing Carol in danger through the open portal got Hal to come to her aid as they fight Atrocitus. Hal was pleased to see Carol again and to learn that she still has feelings for him, even though she jokes about her love choice being him or her old high school prom date.

## Fanon

Much like how AquaMera is the main ship of the *Aquaman* fandom, HalCarol has been considered as the main ship between the two characters in the *Green Lantern* fandom of the DC Comics universe. Even though Hal x Carol have faced similar struggles that Clark x Lois and Bruce x Selina have undertook. Despite the occasions where Carol's ring has turned her into a villain, some fans want her to keep her ring so she and Hal could be together as a Lantern hero duo of Will and Love on Earth. Just as they hope that the two will be given a happy ending and stay together.

Some DCSHG fans were sad that moments between them in the 2015 web series were limited and didn't give them an HalCarol episode. Just as many weren't too happy of the way their characters and former relationship was featured in its 2019 reboot. Even thought fans of both the cartoon series and DC ship still wanted them to work things out.
