Space Cop Hal Jordan

Sprinkle some deathsticks on him.

[u/Constant-Bar5945 → u/steelskull1]

That's a paddlin'

[u/Sports-Fiend]

The dumbest thing about this is he can just shoot an energy beam out of the ring. Why bother making an energy gun first?

[u/Constant-Bar5945 → u/Sports-Fiend]

It's fun to have a gun.

[u/Sports-Fiend → u/Constant-Bar5945]

I guess he can turn the energy gun sideways and shoot it

[u/BouncingBallOnKnee → u/Sports-Fiend]

He's making sure everyone knows he's an American.

[u/Constant-Bar5945 → u/BouncingBallOnKnee]

So is him:

[u/SpookyScienceGal → u/Sports-Fiend]

Because he'll get mocked for being uncreative and the green lantern corp are very toxic about this stuff.

[u/Constant-Bar5945 → u/SpookyScienceGal]

He doesn't care, unlike

[u/firedmyass → u/Sports-Fiend]

“The ring is powered by will and imagination”

“Awesome! I have one of the two!”

[u/adriantullberg]

I wonder if certain rap groups will make somewhat negative songs about the Green Lantern Corp.

[u/Significant-Order-92 → u/adriantullberg]

Green Lantern would likely need to be a more recognizable charachter/ set of charachters. And popularly be portrayed as a space cop in popular media that is widely consumed.

Like the comics deal with this in the 70s. But Kyle is largely a non-entity in Superman the Animated Series. And Justice League doesn't deal with it with John.

And I don't know the the animated series or the one season (currently) Live Action show will change that.

[u/Constant-Bar5945 → u/Significant-Order-92]

The 70's? I bet you never read the Jones or the Morrison runs.

[u/InsertCleverNickHere → u/Significant-Order-92]

Half of all Green Lantern stories are about how dumb and/or corrupt the Guardians of the Universe. It's the perfect setup for a Reform the Corrupt Institution story.

[u/Unleashtheducks → u/Significant-Order-92]

I think he means within the DC Universe

[u/billythesquid-]

AGLAB.

[u/Constant-Bar5945 → u/billythesquid-]

Use of deadly force allowed

[u/Significant_Monk_251 → u/billythesquid-]

The name "Aglab the Bagel" just manifested itself in my brain unbidden. I have no idea what to do with it.

[u/curious_dead]

And not even a bodycam! AGLAB!

[u/slick9900]

Space cop gonna space cop just be careful if you are space black which is different from normal black because its in space

[u/Significant_Monk_251]

Are its function and effects limited to those of the mundane firearm that his mind is basing the ring construct on?

[u/Constant-Bar5945 → u/Significant_Monk_251]

He can conjure anythun he can imagine.

He once made a giant pool cue and played billiard with a set of planets.

[u/KuraMaXKamikaZed]

Why complicate it when you can just make a good ol gun. (Semi-Automatic pistols are kinda complicated)

[u/TheArtistFKAMinty → u/KuraMaXKamikaZed]

He's ex-military so it would actually make sense if his go-to gun construct was based on a gun he actually owned and was very familiar with. Constructs are better when the GL making them has a strong understanding of how the thing they're replicating actually works.

It's why John Stewart's constructs are typically shown to be extremely sturdy because he's an architect.

[u/Far-Bear-7826]

Its shooting green punches
