10 Key Members Of The Justice Society Of America

10. Green Lantern (Alan Scott)

The original Green Lantern Alan Scott flew onto our pages in All-American Comics #16 in 1940 as the wielder of a magic ring and the first in a long line of Green Lanterns.

Unlike the more famous Lanterns such as Hal Jordan and John Stewart, Scott was unconnected to the sci-fi world of the Green Lantern Corps and their intergalactic space adventures.

With the ability to create constructs based on the user's imagination, the Green Lantern ring was a powerful tool. It was, however, ineffective against wood.

Decked out in a garish costume, Scott joined the original Justice Society as a founding member and helped battle the axis forces and his archenemy - the zombie known as Solomon Grundy.

Years later, the Starheart - the source of Scott's powers - would help him maintain his youth so he could join the modern JSA in the early 2000s. There, he briefly took on the moniker of 'Sentinel'. With this new role, he helped train new members of the team and inspire a whole new generation of superheroes.

This version of the character has only had minor appearances on-screen in various cartoons. However, his ring and Lantern have appeared in CW's Smallville and Stargirl TV shows, with the legacy of Alan Scott possibly being a plot point in Stargirl Season Two.
