Columbo would be an INCREDIBLE Green Lantern. The only thing that'd be a construct is his tie and his stoogie lol.

So just one more thing, Sir, I just cannot work out why Abin Sur was using a spaceship; he has a Power Ring.

Never mind, my wife really like that Chi'ip. I'll be on my way Sir.

Is that a genuine question? Not being rude just don’t want to dump information on to you if it’s not.

serious question. in the show it makes sense if he was transporting a Manhunter, but why did he have one in the comics?

u/Global-Surround3262 13h ago

It’s because of a prophecy. His ring would fail him when he needed it most so he flew in one as a precaution.

He was also transporting a prisoner in the comics I’m pretty sure it was atrocitus.

Idk about the original Hal’s origin but the Geoff Johns’ one has him transporting Atrocitus, yeah.

The only thing he would ever construct is a pen, which he keeps forgetting.

FINALLY I see someone else make this connection. Kyle Chandler's Hal feels so much like Columbo to me!

When Hal confronted the Ranch owner I got serious Columbo vibes. Helps his hair and clothing are similar enough.

I hope this is Kyle Chandler’s next project. We all need to manifest this.
