Green Lantern



Green Lantern is the name of several DC Comics characters published in various forms since 1940. Originally created by artist Martin Nodell and writer Bill Finger as Alan Scott, a young railroad engineer, the Green Lantern battled evil using a ring that bestowed upon him great powers. As the comic book industry evolved, so did that of the Green Lantern's legacy, and an entire new mythology emerged which included making the Green Lanterns an intergalactic police force made up of thousands of alien planets.

 * DC Comics writer Geoff Johns, who revived one version of the character in 2005 and introduced other Lanterns in the color spectrum, was asked by Newsarama who might voice the Orange Lantern Larfleeze in a potential animated feature. Johns replied, "I know he sounds like a Muppet, but I don't know which one."
