Green Lantern (Alan Scott)

Introduction of the original Green Lantern

Alan Scott, engineer and adventurer, becomes the Green Lantern of Earth-2 when he discovers an ancient Chinese lantern and makes a ring from its metal. The powers of this ring are multi-faceted and vast, its only weakness is an ineffectiveness against wood and related vegetable matter, a drawback when battling Solomon Grundy of Earth-2 who is composed of plant material. The meteorite from which the Chinese lantern is made may have been sent by the Guardians of the Universe, but the contemporary accounts of the time are not specific. The Green Lantern takes on a sidekick, Dolby Dickles, who accompanies him on many adventures.

The Green Lantern is a powerful member of the Justice Society of America of Earth-2 and serves a term as its chairman. (first appearance, All-American Comics No. 16, Jul 1940: "Introducing the Green Lantern!")
