Greetings nerdy list aficionados and welcome back to top 10 nerd heroes hooking up they’re
still doing it but today we’re in for a treat because our hero of choice is the green
lantern.
Which green lantern you say well whichever one we want we’re going to take a look at
various hook ups from multiple lanterns.
Kyle, John, Hal , Guy, Jessica we have so many options so get excited.
I’m Sasha and these are the Top 10 Superheroes Who Have Hooked up with the green lantern,
plus my caveat of any lantern a green lantern, the corps is large and needs to be celebrated.
Let’s get started.
Number 10 - Kyle Rayner Donna Troy – Kyle Rayner was the green lantern of the 90s and
for a time the only one after Hal Jordan had snapped and killed the whole corps.
Kyle was an artist and made elaborate constructs and also found himself at the centre of the
woman in refrigerators discussion started by writer Gail Simone when Kyle came home
and found his girlfriend in the fridge but that’s not who we’re hooking up with today,
today it’s Kyle and Donna Troy aka wonder girl aka troia aka just what is going on?
Actually at this point she was darkstar and her and kyle found solace in each other after
the hurtful dissolution of each of their relationships.
Yes one was the fridge one.
This unfolded mostly in green lantern book slowly but surely Kyle and donna became friends
she helped him move they had a mistletoe kiss and fiction dictates you have to date after
that.
They had their first date on the moon Kyle knows how to make all your future first dates
pale in comparison.
This would go on for awhile but Kyle’s art came between them he ruined it and you know
how tasteful nudes he started sketching other women, women he was attracted to, and well
that’s a huge no no.
So these two still had a fondness for each other but the trust, the trust but we’ve
had many retcons since then.
Number 9 – Hal Jordan and Black Canary this has happened ever so briefly and is considered
taboo to some just no.
Hal with Carol and Ollie and Dinah Deenah a name I can never say no matter how many
times I hear it in one ear and other the other.
They once tried to introduce a love triangle between Bruce and Black canary and ollie.
Hal and Ollie are allegedly really close friends best friends in some arcs despite ollie hating
hal’s job and everything he believes in and telling him so constantly.
However Hal’s like their third wheel but a welcome one he comes on their dates they
take him on trips etc.
However these two have locked lips before albeit it was one of those oh no the league
is acting weird something is up with them who can we trust.
However, I think there is potential here unexplored potential.
These two helped Roy overcome his drug addiction.
Let this happen break with tradition subvert expectation.
Number 8 - Jessica Cruz Batman – So Jessica Cruz is a newer addition to the green lantern
corps and well she’s memorable that’s for sure.
Initially not having a ring she was granted one at the end of the darkseid war in the
new 52 and she’s just a different take she has a lot to overcome her agoraphobia her
anxiety.
She has been linked to many potentials her best friend Simon Baz who has the same name
as a rainbow rowell character, Barry Allen cause you know it’s post rebirth so love
is dead.
However, she actually made a move on none other than Batman who she developed a crush
on after he was expelled from the justice league or well asked politely to quit by Clark
in justice league 38 after he led a mission badly.
After he decided to resign Jessica chased him into the locker room and was all well
this is about to get complicated and kissed him also he was engaged to Selina at the time
cause well people don’t send memos now they have that new timeline over at dc and they’re
all no that happened before there was no cheating ha sure Jan.
I’m kinda here for it her and bruce not the cheating.
Number 7 - Hal Jordan huntress lady Blackhawk ok let’s get this threesome out of the way
early on.
This is never seen and is only referenced In the much maligned and critiqued cry for
justice you know the story that killed Lian Harper for shock value.
Well in it green arrow starts talking to hal all about how he heard about his drunken threesome
with those two birds of prey, and well this started an author fight between james robinson
and gail simone who then put in her series that this hadn’t happened she was writing
birds of prey at the time and instead that hal had got drunk and passed out essentially
the characters became pawns in the writers fight although not everyone knew that in fact
not everyone would have read both so for some people this just would have been a thing that
happened.
Yeah hook ups.
Number 6 - John Stewart Vixen – So John Stewart was the green lantern who appeared
on the justice league animated series so for some their first green lantern.
He was the first African American hero to appear in dc comics.
In the justice league unlimited portion of the series after breaking up with someone
else on this list later on he would come to be dating vixen a superhero with the ability
to access animal totems.
These two would have a solid relationship and be quite the power couple both fiercely
independent but enjoying their time together also Stewart pulled a Benjamin sisko losing
the top hair for a bald head and beard.
It was a good look.
More love for John Stewart I say also for Vixen she’s cool even if the cheesy part
of me does love her with b’wana beast you know the guy who can fuse to animals together
and create things that should not be.
Number 5 - Guy Gardner Ice Guy Gardner is a green lantern who has had a very large personality
shift since his first appearance at the start guy was nice and easy going and what writers
called terminally bland.
However after a head injury when he returned he was rude and crude with tons of tude.
And that’s the persona most know him in today however this was fictional head injury
so cartoon logic applies if you get hit again you revert to how you were before and it was
during one such reversion on his time in the jli that being the justice league international
that he took up with Ice a hero who well was ice themed.
She was drawn to guy’s sweet demeanor and really fell for him however he ended up reverting
to his now default persona and she was much less into that however, she stuck around since
she felt she had seen the real man within, but she would begin to develop feelings for
superman who had all the traits she missed in guy, she would ultimately be killed off
in a decision writers have since come to regret as they don’t feel it added anything narratively.
Number 4 - Hal Jordan star sapphire the hero part of this only applies in the modern era
at the start the star sapphire was a villain for Hal.
She is carol ferris and at first was unaware she was even transforming into the star sapphire
an avatar for the Zamarons.
With the star sapphires becoming a corps proper during the war of light they came into a more
heroic light, as they would fight in the blackest night and hal and carol for many they are
end game and their on again off again relationship has come to be one of legend for those who
care about Hal that is.
Personally I prefer villainous star sapphire but now we have both something for everyone.
Number 3 - Kyle Rayner Jade – So who is Jade well Jade is the daughter of JSA member
and first green lantern alan scott.
So she met Kyle because they were roommates and well one thing led to another and they
became romantically involved however Jade would end their relationship after falling
in love with another man cause of the distance between her and kyle what with all the space
missions and the like long distance is hard to maintain it’s a lot.
So what happened to Jade well she died and since new 52 and rebirth she has been erased
from continuity so no more Jade.
Do you miss Jade?
Did you even know she existed?
Number 2 - Guy Gardner Bleeze we have to look at the emotion spectrum again for this one.
So initially there was one green lantern colour obviously purple.
So we had green then yellow but then in the late 2000s early 2010s the entire emotion
spectrum came into being and so the colours represented emotions that would power the
rings and red red was rage.
In the process of this the characters you knew some of them were assigned other colours.
Guy found himself in possession of a red lantern ring and being hit on by red lantern bleeze.
During the brightest day arc the two had to team up and she found herself drawn to his
bloodlust and developed a lust for him he wasn’t too into though, but still we got
some cool panels bleeze's design was very hexadecimal I was here for it.
I dunno I could have done with more of this I really liked the emotion spectrum what about
all of you?
Number 1 Green Lantern/Hawkgirl – The romance of justice league that reveal where shyera
takes off her Hawk girl helmet for the first time and all the red hair just comes tumbling
down in the moon light, perfection.
So john stewart and shyera hawkgirl had a flirtation going on throughout the entirety
of that series before it turned into justice league unlimited back when it was just justice
league she was concerned about him but in a gruff whatever I don’t care kind of way.
And when the two for together it was a finally moment which made what happened next all the
more painful the betrayal.
Shyera was an advanced scout for the thanagarian invasion force though she would ultimately
turn against her people for the sake of her new home it would destroy her and john’s
relationship at least for the time.
It was hinted in the dcau that being the dc animated universe continuity that the two
would get back together and have a child.
We learned this courtesy of Batman beyond.
Later Shyera would come to have good relationship with Vixen much to john’s confusion.
It made sense shyarea was mostly looking to atone and gain everyones trust back and resigned
to the fact that with some people, batman, she never would.
So those were 10 superheroes green lanterns hooked up with was there anyone we missed
let us know down below.
