Bio:

“And I shall shed my light over dark evil… for, the dark things cannot stand the light… the light of the Green Lantern!” – Alan Scott’s oath as he charges his Ring of Power

Raised in the Midwest, young Alan Scott made his way to New York City when he began college. After two years in Pre-Med, he switched his studies to engineering and after graduation, found work building railroad bridges in the American Southwest. His contractor, a swindler named Dekker, had used substandard materials and had failed to follow all the safety guidelines. During a test run on one of the trains, Scott was nearly killed when the trestles collapsed, and his friend Jimmy wasn’t so lucky. Wishing for the power to make things right and to bring Dekker to justice, his prayers were answered by a fragment of The Starheart, a collection of the “wild magic of the universe” collected by the Guardians of Oa millions of years ago. The Starheart Fragment was carved into a railroad lantern and now was giving Scott its power to bring his dreams into reality.

After bringing Dekker and his cronies to justice, Scott found that he could tap into the power of the lantern with a ring carved into the shape of the lantern that he wore on his left hand. Like the “mystery-men” that began to fill the newspapers in late 1939, he too wore a costume, more like a dramatic operetta character, with a large flowing cape and a mask to hide his identity.

After several adventures in Metropolis, he moved to Gotham City in early 1940, taking a job with WXYZ, a radio station. He began as a news reporter and soon became somewhat a star in his own right, with many reports about the new hero, The Green Lantern. At the station, his confidant and chauffeur was Charles “Doiby” Dickles, a cabbie who later became aware of Scott dual ID and aided him on many cases.

After meeting another hero, Keystone City’s Flash, The Green Lantern was asked by the US government to aid British Intelligence. That case led to the formation of the Justice Society of America, which he was a founding member and second chairman. He struck up friendships with the Flash and Hawkman, and after the Flash left to pursue other interests, Green Lantern became its second chairman. On one case in June of 1941, however, he felt the limitations that his humanity still held as he was unable to stop the death of a young boy. Feeling that he might be spreading himself too thin, he also took a leave of absence. His friendships still held together, and he joined the Army before he might be drafted in late 1941, before the outbreak of the Second World War. His buddy Doiby re-enlisted too, though he was a Sargent to Scott’s “buck private”.

Captured along with the active JSA members, The Green Lantern soon joined the Presidentially mandated All-Star Squadron and was semi-active with that group. When the US officially entered World War II, Scott was released from his military service to continue broadcasting, this due in large part to many contacts he made in the U.S. Government through well-connected members of the All-Star Squadron (namely the Freedom Fighters’ Black Condor, who was impersonating a sitting U.S. Senator in his secret identity)

Today Green Lantern has returned to full-time status with the JSA just as his government has a new mission for him…
