Description Here's my new DC Universe, Earth-53.

Here, Hal Jordan has been the first official human Green Lantern in the GLC for decades, first joining the corps young during the 1960s. First one of the shyer recruits, in a short matter of times he became one the most confident and effective Green Lanterns out there. Currently in his 70s, he has kept in good shape and is still (mostly) as effective as ever. However he likes to downplay his importance; his name is known throughout many galaxies and is likely the most famous Green lantern out there, saving the GLC from the bad image Sinestro gave them decades ago. As such, he often wears a trench coat over his uniform to hide his status.

After splitting from Carol Ferris, nothing was keeping him on Earth and he decided to transfer to a different sector. However upon the recruitment of new human Green Lantern Simon Baz, Jordan was sent to become his mentor and introduce him to the ways of the corps, due to being the only other human available.

He's become grouchier with age, but stayed just as strong despite hiding the pains he has suffered during his long life. Unlike others, he has not resorted to darker, more brutal methods, but does things a little less by the books than in days gone past.

Thanks! Yeah he's got a bluer tone than he usually has, I wanted to go for something more unusual. I think it comes across slightly enough to be green though. Though I suppose he looks more like the Teal Lantern here xD

Really, really like the design and the concept of an much older Hal, another great one man!

Thanks! I wanted to try something different, plus I think an older Lantern offers better contrast with all the others. PlusΒ I liked the 80s/90s concept of Hal being one of the older, veteran heroes and going grey (before Parallax happened). It was something I wanted to re-create and take to the next level. I also used the trench coat partly as inspiration from his latest "Renegade" identity.

No problem, really like that his costume is much more greyish- washed green different to Baz's very bright neon looking suit, and the trenchcoat is also a nice touch

Indeed, usually I go for a more uniform look with Lanterns, but this time I decided to let them have more variation. The greyish washed out green's a nod to him wanting to hide his status, and not standing out from the crowd. He also thinks with age, anything too bright will make him look silly. Meanwhile with Baz being lit up like a Christmas tree, there's plenty of contrast!

Indeed, also is Hal and Baz the only heroes on Earth 53? And if not, is Hal the only old hero?

I like to think there's more out there, I'm going to attempt some more! But they're likely going to be a rarer phenomenon hereΒ as opposed to have about a third of the world population being superheroes in the real DCU xD As for old heroes, there'sΒ even older ones than Hal out there! It's just some of them have died off...Β
