DC's First Green Lantern Is the Opposite of Ryan Reynolds' Portrayal
DC's very first Green Lantern was the complete opposite of Hal Jordan and is much more heroic as a result — especially when compared to the Ryan Reynolds portrayal. Many humans of Earth (and even non-humans such as a literal whale) have become Green Lanterns over history, from Hal Jordan to his predecessor Alan Scott to John Stewart and Jessica Cruz and beyond, and the planet has produced more Lanterns in a shorter timespan than any other. But Earth's very first Green Lantern, a Chinese monk from the 7th century, deserves to be remembered by fans and DC Comics alike — and his adventures in Green Lantern: Dragon Lord prove it.
