When you have someone this talented, who puts this kind of knowledge and work into the videos, the views will come. It's kind of like, when people can tell you do it because you care about what you're doing and not for being a views whore, you have authenticity that can't be manufactured.
This is the list of lanterns from earth that i knew before this video: Hal Jordan Guy Gardner John Stewart Kyle Rayner Simon Baz Jessica Cruz Alan scott Alex Nero Dexstar Rancor (the human red lantern) Black Hand Carol Ferris Jade
Years ago I came across a picture of Batman with a Green Lantern ring. My first reaction was saying out loud "Holy shit." Knowing that Green Lanterns harness will power, I was thinking that there are not to many characters in comics that have more will power than Batman. Great list, I have been out of comics for awhile, and I sometimes wondered how many Lanterns there were. I used to think 4 + Alan Scott.
excellent video, excellent guide. Came here to find out about some heroclix of lanterns I didn't know about. It's all about the constructs, they reflect the personality of the green lantern, any lantern. It's my favorite superhero in DC and I grew up with Hal Jordan because of the Superfriends, Justice League and Challenge animated series reruns here in Mexico when I was like 6 and the image of Hal in my mind is that of the pepsicard and the Secret Origins episode
I love a lot of these lanterns, even the one-offs human lanterns, but I had no idea donna parker existed. Ironically, my way of bringing Tai Pham into DC continuity was to give his grandmother a very similar story to Parker's (have Sur give her a ring in secret which she gives to her grandson). In that case, I would make Parker an alias for Pham's grandmother but she keeps the ring at the end; however, her connection to John and the corps would be erased for Tai to join later on. At the same time, I like the idea of connecting Tai to Jong Li who, as far as I remember, still had his ring at the end of the story. In this scenario, Tai is a part of a lineage of Lanterns on earth that has been protecting Earth in secret for centuries. I would maybe even connect Li's ring to Alan Scott, making it that, after the events of Dragon Lord, Li found out that he was meant to protect Earth from Yalan Gur and once Gur was defeated and Alan's ring started its journey, Li kept the ring and gave it to his descendants until Tai finally used it in public and was discovered by John Stewart. Because Tai's ring would be so old, maybe it would be different from the other corps rings and would have a connection to Alan's ring (maybe Tai's ring flairs up when in proximity to Alan and Jade's starheart). Tai Pham is such a great concept that I wish the writers tried to connect to or at least reflect main continuity better. But for me, the main, current lanterns are the big 6, Alan and his kids, Jo and Teen Lantern (and Tai if they did a great job implementing him into the DCU without messing with the continuity of the other 6 lanterns).
It's a lot of fun to theorize ways to work these characters into the same continuity. We may have to settle for Tai being in his own world of the Multiverse, but that means he could still cross over. Though I really like the idea of linking him to Dragon Lord.
@@MosaicComics For me, Tai Pham is such a great concept that I feel is wasted in a parallel universe. I've always liked the idea of teen lanterns since most human lanterns are in their 20s or 30s-40s so I appreciate Tai and Keli, although I want someone to explain and develop Keli (will never forget how little Bendis developed the character in 2 years beyond her being from Bolivia). For the longest time I thought Dragon Lord was elseworlds until I saw that the logo was missing but I really want concepts like these to be used and melded with the main/popular universe. Green Lantern is so expansive but writers like Morrison and Snyder forget about. Not only haven't we seen the other human lanterns in the last 2 years but also the emotional spectrum (I miss Saint Walker, Atrocitus and Arkillo so badly).
@@kenlsten4651 Well Morrison's run ends in March, so anything could happen after that. They're trying really hard right now to sell the idea that everything DC has ever published counts as part of their greater omniverse, so as far as I'm concerned that means we could see Tai again anytime, anywhere, as long as someone has a good enough idea for a story. Whatever they do, I'm just looking forward to the greater Green Lantern universe getting opened up again.
@@MosaicComics I completely agree (I've been dying for Morrison's run to end for so damn long) but I want Tai to be put into continuity correctly and with care like Johns did with Parallax. At the same time, I really don't want any new GLs. Since Simon was created, we've seen 3 new human lanterns created in 10 years while Kyle was the newest lantern for 17 years and there just isn't enough books to carry all these lanterns every month. I would rather DC focus on at least the main 6 lanterns and solidify the positions of the other lanterns. With the omniverse, the irony is that I think GL has never really been rebooted. While they might ignore or retell stories like Hal's origin, the history of GL is pretty much the most intact corner of the DC universe.
It’s really funny cause when I saw Cary wren I was thinking that she looked like Kyle and then you said “she’s a descendant of Kyle Rayner” 🤣 Kyle is probably my fav lantern so it’s cool seeing a descendant of his. Also this is such a great video I had no idea about all of these extra lanterns and it’s so cool to see!
Great video! I learned a lot though I have been doing my own research and there is one Lantern you missed. Alexander Nero yellow lantern psychotic human enemy of Kyle Rayner. Don't know much about him.
@@2ndClassNerd Not that I know of. But they introduce more Human Lanterns every few years. There’s a half Human GL being introduced into the HBO show, and I could see her being folded into the comics. But even if they don’t, there’ll be others.
there's also EVEN More the circle of fire Lanterns like an alt version of Alex (Kyles first Girlfriend) and Green Lightning (the descendant of Kyle and Wally West)
I read the new guardians and a bit of the hal mini series that came after and up to the latest battery explosion. I'd love to see a new series combining all of the lore from all the previous books.
Alan Scott Green lantern with a red shirt and boots. Never could figure that out. Weakness-Wood Ok he was the first one of his type. If he's used more going forward he needs a new updated uniform. Nice video though! I enjoyed it!
I disagree, Alan's costume is classic. Though his Kingdom Come armor is great. He isn't a member of the Green Lantern corps, so his costume needs to be as different as possible so people don't get confused.
MY OWN THOUGHTS ON THE QUESTIONS HOW MANY GREEN-LANTERNS FROM EARTH: Now I think with the making of new DC ComicBook stories getting made more, and more. It is possible for new realms to be written into existence, and it’s also possible for new sets of Green-Lanterns who are from planet:Earth to be made into existence as well. There for it’s hard to put into a proper number right now, of listing how many Green-Lanterns that are from planet:Earth, and who they might be.
You got me there, I forgot about the Mosaic kids, and I didn’t know there were Lanterns in the Justice League of China. I’ll have to do a follow up video eventually. Thanks for mentioning them!
Oh I didn't forget. I left out everyone who was already an existing hero or villain that became a Lantern later. Not to worry, though, Black Hand makes it into my Top 10 Temp Lanterns video.
@@MosaicComics You should make a part-2 including the Hosts of Emotional Entities who have no other history • Green Lantern of China • Jillian Pearlman as a Star Sapphire • Krystal as a Star Sapphire • Nicole Morrison: Host of Adara, Hope Entity • Shane Thompson: Host of Compassion Entity • Abraham Pointe: Host of Predator, Love Entity • James Kim: Host of Butcher, Rage Entity
@@arpitpatel2781 I've been building the list for an eventual Part 2. Good call on Krystal! Also, I can't believe they named the lady who's only there to transport the Star Sapphire crystal to Carol...Krystal.
@@MosaicComics While trying to find more names, I found out that Lois Lane once wore a Star Sapphire Costume in an Crossover with Carol in Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane. So, she can be a funny honorable mention
I'm definitely one of the ones who prefer it if it's just Hal, Guy, John and Kyle the rest really don't matter to me. Allen Scott isn't really tied to the Corps as a whole. The issue is having so many human green lanterns. Simon, Jessica, Joe and Teen lantern could've been in other corps.
@@carbootstudios2459 I remember thinking, back during Brightest Day issues of Green Lantern, that this is why we were being introduced to Human hosts for the entities. We got an issue or two introducing us to a girl named Nicole who became the host of the Hope Entity, and then I think there was an EMT who became the host for the Compassion Entity, only for both of them to have their Entities abruptly removed, and we've never seen those people again. I really wish both of them would at least receive rings for their respective Corps, they must fit the criteria if they were eligible to be Entity hosts, and it'd give us a more personally relatable look into two more Corps.
They need to stop making new Earth Lanterns. It's getting ridiculous. It used to be 2 per space sector. Why are there so many just from earth? It bothers me haha
He never said different universes weren’t allowed, only that alternate versions of lanterns, which regular Batman isnt a lantern at all, but the dawnbreaker is

That whale is only from seven years in the future, too. If we reach 2029 and there's no GL Whale comic, it'll be life's greatest disappointment.

Alan Scott remains my favourite Lantern
In 2030 and 2040 is the 90th and 100th anniversaries of Green Lantern
John Stewart would probably be good at Lego building or at Minecraft

there's also EVEN More
the circle of fire Lanterns like an alt version of Alex (Kyles first Girlfriend) and Green Lightning (the descendant of Kyle and Wally West)
Also the Green Lantern of Tangent Earth, which is either Lois Lane or Zatanna.
All of those are alternative realities, which he's not countingg

You forgot the Black female Blue Lantern from Earth and Volthoom, who was also human
Damn, didn't know I was a Green Lantern! 👀
green lantern lord malvolio is someone you forgot
