Tom King, Jewish Standard, 2016 Other Media I’m insanely proud that I got to add this to Hal’s legacy, though I think it’s important to note that the idea itself comes from the character’s history as culled together by his fans. I wrote this origin into the script and I never heard another word about it from editorial.
There were quite a few (conflicting) answers, but I found some compelling blogs that argued that he was half Catholic and half Jewish, though this had never been explicitly stated. This was a story about God and will power, so prior to getting started, I researched the seemingly simple question of what was Green Lantern’s religion. As Tom King explained it to the Jewish Standard: What's more interesting though is the fans' involvement in the decision. It wasn't until 2016 when writer Tom King addressed the issue in Justice League: The Darkseid War: Green Lantern and made it canon that Hal's mother was Jewish while his father was Catholic, thereby answering the question without explicit retcons. Most writers generally defaulted to portraying him as a not particularly religious Christian while other writers included references to his Jewishness. Hal's religion was a subject of debate for decades in the Green Lantern fandom. His relationship with his mentor and superior, Thaal Sinestro, is fraught with conflict that eventually leads to a fall-out and Sinestro becoming his sworn (albeit still secretly respected) enemy. His initial brashness and defiance does not mix well with how the Green Lantern Corps is run at the time but he proves his usefulness to the Corps over the years. Originally, he's a USAF captain who later becomes a test pilot stationed in Coast City. Hal Jordan becomes the Green Lantern of Sector 2814 after Abin Sur's death.
Hal Jordan first appeared in Showcase #22 (October 1959) by writer John Broome and artist Gil Kane. Hal Jordan is a member of the Green Lantern Corps in DC Comics.
