Why Did Hal Jordan Get Stuck With Villain's Gadgets in the New Green Lantern Comic?
Hal Jordan, the hero of Green Lantern, has to make a serious decision! We've seen him use his power ring a bunch of times, but now he's without his powers! That's the way this new Green Lantern comic book starts!
How Did Hal Lose His Power Ring?
Think DC Comics - they have so many powerful people! And Amanda Waller - well, she's like a control freak! She's got an idea to totally take control of Earth by getting rid of superheroes, like Hal Jordan! The United Planets, this big powerful space organization that used to work with the Green Lantern Corps, actually agrees with her.
What About His Powers?
- You can't use Green Lantern powers without the Green Lantern ring! They got rid of that - which makes Hal a real underdog, especially because Amanda Waller basically throws him in a prison cell! Talk about the worst.
- And Hal doesn't want to stay quiet! The Green Lantern - one of the most awesome heroes around! - won't just sit there, while everything gets messed up.
Where Do Those Supervillain Weapons Come In?
- Hal Jordan is in a big bind, he's gotta get out of prison! But how?! This is the fun part. Green Lantern #14 gives us a sneak peek of the newest Green Lantern comic book. They're doing some crazy stuff with Green Lantern, and this issue introduces these super cool (or kinda scary?) gadgets that came from Green Lantern villain - Toyman.
- He even got trapped in a prison! But the most mind-blowing thing is he pulls out some totally dangerous stuff: a spinning-top grenade thing that can create a massive, blinding flash. This thing's way powerful and is used by a big name villain - Toyman, who specializes in turning kids' toys into killer weapons, even those super villain flash grenades.
- It's a pretty insane situation - but hey, desperate times call for desperate measures, right?
What Does This Mean for Green Lantern?
- So here is the real twist! We can expect to see Green Lantern really using all those Green Lantern weapons - and there's gonna be some crazy action-packed fight sequences in the next Green Lantern comics!
This all happened as a result of Waller turning Earth into this super oppressive police state. Now we have to see how Green Lantern is going to deal with this situation - as one of the biggest DC Comics heroes! There is so much to come in these upcoming Green Lantern comic books and it's super intense.
