Ranking The Green Lanterns Worst To Best

10. Alan Scott

You can't kick off a list of the greatest Green Lanterns without throwing in the man who started it all, Alan Scott. The Green Lantern from the Golden Age was far different than his contemporary counterparts, but that doesn't make him any less amazing.

Alan Scott debuted in All-American Comics #16 back in 1940 and has been kicking butt and taking names ever since. Scott's ring and power-set differ from the Green Lanterns of today thanks to his coming from a place of magic.

Unlike the rest of the characters on this list, Scott's ties to magic make his powers unique. He had a weakness to wooden weapons, but was able to generate hard-light constructs like the best of them.

Since his debut, he took a back seat to the current Green Lanterns, but he remains a part of the DC Universe where he makes appearances from time to time. Perhaps Scott's greatest legacy was his inspiration in creating the Green Lanterns who followed him.
