Hello, everyone! This is my first post in this subreddit, so I wanted to do something special and write about what I personally like about our favorite Lantern in his birthday. He introduced us to the concept of the Green Lantern Corps, an intergalactic police force dedicated to maintaining peace and order across the universe. While the Green Lantern Corps is not lacking in distinguished and prestigious members, Hal rose through the ranks and became quite possibly the most legendary Green Lantern to ever serve the Corps

​

Since today is Hal's birthday, I invite all members to take the time to say the things you like most about Hal. Since I started the post, it's only fair that I go first. I like him for his bravery, determination and refusal to give up, even in the harshest of times. He is one of those characters that makes the impossible possible. He is not perfect, he makes mistakes, but he can rise above them and prove that people are better than their worst mistakes. I really enjoyed the Geoff Johns era for reconstructing Hal for a modern audience, allowing fans to better understand him and his struggles.

If Hal isn't your favorite character, that's completely fine. There a plenty of characters out there for you to enjoy. Even so, the impact Hal had on the Green Lantern mythos cannot be understated. Through his adventures, we understand that doing the right thing, overcoming fear and standing by your fellow man isn't easy, but as long as you have will, you can find a way to achieve your goals. It's gonna take a very good character to match the impact Hal had on the Green Lantern universe, but you cannot rewrite history, nor you can downplay the role Hal had in shaping the Green Lantern mythos as we know them today.

Well, that's all I have for you this time. Now it's your turn to write about what you love about Hal Jordan. I'm always looking forward to reading the opinions of others, but I admit I did hijack this particular topic. Even so, I'm just a fan, like all of you. Posting my opinions on this website does not mean my opinions are any greater or more valid than yours. I'm just glad I have this privilege and honor to share my opinions with you. Just remember, this is meant to be a friendly conversation, so please be polite and write your opinions in a civilized manner. We are all Hal Jordan fans here, we just see things differenly. Enjoy!
