Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)
When test pilot Hal Jordan aids a stricken alien who is a member of the Green Lantern Corps, he assumes the alien's role as protector of Earth and of sector 2814, the sector of the galaxy which contains Earth (Showcase No. 22, Sep/Oct 1959: "SOS Green Lantern").
Hal's power is in his ring which must be recharged by a power battery, at least once every 24 hours, and it cannot directly affect anything colored yellow. Superman has a deep respect for the might of this weapon which can be extremely effective against him. For instance, the ring can used to instantly create green kryptonite to incapacitate Superman immediately, although maintaining the effect requires concentration (DCCP No. 26, Oct 1980: "Between Friend and Foe!").
As a member of the Justice League of America, Green Lantern has teamed with Superman many times.
