Hal Jordan

Officer of the Green Lantern Corps

**Harold "Hal" Jordan** was an Air Force test pilot for the United States Air Force, as well as a member of the Green Lantern Corps. Along with John Stewart, he patrols Earth. He is also a founding member of the Justice League.

## Biography

At a young age, Hal Jordan witnessed the death of his father, Martin Jordan in a flight test. Completely devastated and wanting to live up to be like his father he joined the United States Air Force and flew planes. At an unknown point he joined Ferris Aircraft's as a test pilot for new and advanced aircraft. He also began dating the company's president Carol Ferris.

At some point during a flight test, Hal was forced to eject from his F-16 after an unidentified aircraft narrowly missed him and crashed in the desert. He landed not far from the crashed craft, which turned out to be a spaceship belonging to Abin Sur, a member of the Green Lantern Corps. Hal then pulled him from his spaceship, but Abin Sur was fatally wounded in the crash. He then explained to Hal about the Green Lantern Corps and that his ring had chosen him to be his successor. As Abin died, his ring left his hand and slid on Hal's finger, creating a Green Lantern uniform and mask for him, fully inducting him into the Green Lantern Corps and becoming the protector of Earth and space sector 2814. At some point, he was called to Oa to meet with the Guardians of the Universe making him **Green Lantern**.

## Personality

Hal is incredibly sarcastic and makes many sarcastic quips, to his comrade's annoyance. He doesn't think about the consequences of his actions, being more concerned with how to deal with the problem at hand without seeing the bigger picture. These personality traits initially rub Batman the wrong way, who admires and respects the Flash for being humble, hard working and efficient in his work despite only meeting him for the first time, much to the annoyance of Hal.

He can also be incredibly cocky, as he attempted to challenge Superman alone despite Batman's warnings. At times, he can also be downright stupid, as he did not know who the famous Gotham billionaire Bruce Wayne was after the Batman revealed his secret identity. This part of his personality later mellows out as he became an integral part of the League. Despite a pain to work with sometimes, he still has a good heart and puts his life in danger to save lives. Although his relationship with Batman can be rocky, Batman still believes in him and considers him an invaluable part of the Justice League.
