HISTORY

After surving a horrific train crash, Alan Scott found a green meteorite that magically spoke to him "Three times shall I flame. First to bring death, second to bring life and third to bring POWER!" The green flame fulfilled the prophecy and gave life to Alan Scott. Creating a power battery from the green meteor and a green ring, Alan Scott donned the costume and name Green Lantern to bring justice to the world.

Alan Scott was a founding member of the Justice Society of America and continued his crime fighting until 1951, retiring as Green Lantern. Alan Scott came out of retirement in the early 1960's to stop a criminal known as the Reaper who attempted to gain control of all criminal organizations in Gotham City. Green Lantern was critically injured with his battle with the Reaper which led to the reforming of the Justice Society of America and to their first meeting with their Earth-1 counterparts. Alan Scott was quite active over the next 20 years and participated in many JSA and JLA cases.

After Crisis on Infinite Earths, Alan and the rest of the Justice Society were taken into Ragnarok to prevent the destruction of Earth where they remained for many years. (Last Days of the Justice Society of America #1) They were rescued by Wave Rider and the Spectre to help fight the demon Abraxis (Armageddon Inferno #3). The JSA reformed and continued their fight against crime that led to fight their old foes again, Ultra Humanite and Kulak. Years later, Alan mysteriously regained his youth by the Starheart, the source of his power. This was only a lure to draw Alan to the Starheart where he faced the Starheart and defeated it. The Starheart escaped and Alan Scott returned to Earth.

After strange time anomalies were happening all over Earth, Dr. Fate summoned the entire JSA to help right the universe. They were lead to Extant where many of the JSA were slain in this assault and the surving members were greatly aged. Green Lantern survived by the protection of his ring and fled to Earth with the rest of the JSA. Alan Scott finally retired and gave his ring to Kyle Rayner, Earths current Green Lantern. Alan came out of retirement after discovering he had the innate abilities of the ring and donned a new costume and named himself Sentinel.

As Fate, the successor of Doctor Fate slowly began to explore his powers, the mystics of the DC Universe banded together to see if Fate posed a threat to them and Earth, Sentinel was one of them. Sentinel and Fate have no friendship between them as Sentinel believes that Fate was the wrong person to inherit the powers of the original Doctor Fate. However on several occasions they have made an excellent team, see Underworld Unleashed and Fate #22. The current Green Lantern asked Sentinel for advice on what it means to be a hero and to wear the ring but he soon learned that Sentinel now performs his tasks much different then he did when he was the original Green Lantern. Sentinel has even been used as a pawn against the new Fate by a Lord of Chaos, see the Book of Fate #1.

In recent events, Sentinel's powers went haywire and with help from Jade (his daughter) and Green Arrow II, Jade was able to siphon her fathers excess power. Unfortunately, this drained most of his innate abilities which re-aged him to his correct age. Donning his old costume again, Sentinel became Green Lantern again and has made his way back into the new JSA. What does the future hold for Alan Scott? Kingdom Come gave us a grim looking Green Lantern that created coast city above Earth. Evidence suggests that this future Green Lantern is indeed Alan Scott and if events that lead to Kingdom Come becomes a reality, this will be his Fate.
