Green Lantern is great. Let me tell you why -
Powers: Green Lantern's powers are limited to his force of will as his ring is controlled by the limits of his imagination.

History: In 1940 while working as an engineer, Alan Scott discovered a mystical lantern that had been carved from an ancient meteor known as the Starheart. Manufacturing a ring from the same lantern, Scott was able to tap into the Starheart's energies, making him the first one to be known as the Green Lantern. During the Zero Hour Crisis his ring was destroyed but over the years his continued exposure to the energy turned his body into a living source of the Starheart energy. He is now known as the Sentinel. He continues to fight crime as a member of the JSA.
The second Green Lantern's origin is different as Hal Jordan gained his power from a dying Abin Sur Green Lantern Corp member who crash-landed on Earth and ordered his power ring to seek out a suitable successor as Green Lantern of space sector 2814. Test pilot Hal Jordan met the requirements of being both honest and without fear. His Green Lantern's power originates from the Guardians of the Universe. The Guardians had created a Green Lantern's Corp to defeat evil across the Universe. Hal Jordan was a founding member of the Justice League. When Hal's city, Coast City was decimated by Mongul and the Cyborg Superman, Hal was denied the power to resurrect the city and its inhabitants by the Guardians. Hal went to Oa to gain enough power to reconstruct Coast City but the Guardians sent the Corp after him. Hal absorbed the energy from the Central Power Battery and changed his name to Parallax. Hal would then try to change the time-space continuum creating the Zero Hour Crisis. He was stopped by the rest of Earth's heroes. Hal would once again be seen as a hero as he gave his life the Earth's Final Night conflict using all his energy to re-ignite the sun. Since then Hal Jordan has reappeared as the Spectre.
