The black on his legs is banded, like metal, and his boots now stretch up to the thigh, with a few areas of contrasting color to break up the lines. The outer circle, a darker green bordered in white, moves out at the shoulder and flows down the outside of his arms before wrapping around the forearms and wrists to suggest gloves. Large shoulder pads frame a slightly raised collar that blends down into the concentric design in the center of Hal's chest and from there into the swatch that covers his stomach and back. The colors are all slightly adjusted: black is dark grey, white is semi-metallic and there are two shades of green - a dark forest green and a lighter tone that has the same sparkle as the white. The look is great, using the same green, black and white color scheme as the original, while still managing to look vastly different. Hal's new costume was obviously not a uniform, as his last one had been, but a unique suit of armor. The task of redesigning Parallax fell to Darryl Banks, the best designer working in comics today. Yay! Thanks, DC! However, lame as Parallax was, his costume was pretty cool. No one knew what to do with Parallax any more than they knew what to do with Hal Jordan, so he was eventually combined with another useless character to create a third, even more unusable character. Kyle Rayner became the last Green Lantern, and Hal Jordan became one of history's greatest monsters. It was one of the most abrupt transitions in comics, and pissed off a lot of fans. What a hero!Īrriving on the distant planet of Oa, Jordan blew up the central power battery, took all the energy for himself, created a new costume and left. He decided to confront his masters, cutting a swath of destruction through the galaxy on his way and leaving thousands of his fellow Green Lanterns abandonned and powerless. Of course, when his power ran out, so did the fantasy. When his hometown was destroyed, Hal tried to use his power to resurrect it. An affable jock who, just like when you were in high school, had everything handed to him on a silver platter - an alien gave him a magic wishing ring that, (again) just like when you were in high school, let him do whatever he wanted. Hal was originally a typical DC hero: that is, his biggest character trait was that he had a super power. Probably no character bears testament to the power of incessant fanboy whining than Green Lantern Hal Jordan.įollowing his descent into madness after the destruction of his beloved Coast City, Hal Jordan became the maniacal villain Parallax!
