CREE BENNET DOESN'T CARE

This is so cool.   Hal Jordan was one of my early names on the Atari BBSs and for about a week or so I ran a BBS called "OA" based on the Green Lantern Corp.

 

Aw good memories.  In short, I loved Green Lantern.  Hal going to Parallax to me was kinda stupid.  I looked up to Hal, and I had no problem with him being strong and capable.  I remember DC before turning him into Parallax put Hal through "becoming a man".  I remember an issue where Hal found himself in the arctic and his ring ran out of power.  The whole issue was him surviving and continuing on with his greatest power, his power of will.  To me between that and other instances I thought Hal was man enough.  He had nothing else to prove.  But DC can be brutal to their characters at times for a good story.  Truthfully it was when DC stopped having their characters as someone to draw hope and inspiration from to ... just everyone else, I lost interest.

 

I enjoyed when Hal was restored and became a Green Lantern again.  A lot of fun.  Collected that for about 6 issues and then went on to other stuff.  I think the 52 event happened and I got bored again. 

 

But thanks for reminding me of one of my heroes I liked as a teen!

Yeah,,  at least i being a GIRL could get something good out of parallax (hint hint)..  the first issue where he appeared i got the same day i got SONIC 3,,  so when it got to marble garden zone i started imagining parallax doing a synchronized dance to the music..  i also commissioned a fan artist of the time for pretty much R34 of parallax which I will NEVER post on the web..   ahahaha..

 

I also had crushes on john and guy,,  but they weren't as strong as hal..

 

I miss the days where i could write about hal getting a stomachache and throwing up without someone calling me out for having a "VOMIT FETISH",,,  like it is kinda hot but only because hal is hot,,  and to see him weakened is very cute..

 

Might wanna post that one on my story blog soon..  the head lice story is been dead even before disco (this was before we had computers,,,  1976 maybe????)..  though i have like a photographic memory in regards to hal going feral (which was a common motif in stories featuring him i wrote,,  predates parallax by 20 years)..

Predated by twenty years?   Interesting.  So just wanted to see the big chin hero take the fall?

 

I think the thing I liked about Hal was first off, Batman's ability to use fear had no effect on Hal, as Hal had no fear.

He was bold, with the ring was quite a power house in the DC univese.  And yet had a bit of a humor to him.

 

A lot of fun.

 

My favorite GL panel to date:

 

Damn that is cute..  actually i always had it in me that hal had a bad temper..  just liked to see it pushed to the limit..  steve blum's voice in injustice 2 proved i was right..
