Alan Scott is a founding member of the Justice Society of America and has contributed greatly for over 80 years. He is the first to bear the name Green Lantern, wielding a ring that focuses on a mysterious green flame. As time passed and Alan aged, he evolved into a mentor and source of inspiration for generations of young superheroes. Recharging his ring through his magical lantern, the Green Lantern made his emerald fire a symbol of hope and a source of inspiration for decades.
