The original Green Lantern's family is still a force to be reckoned with and is certainly one of the most powerful families in the DC Universe. It's also a relief to see characters with no connection to Gotham finally get the spotlight, and hopefully DC will continue to spotlight these key-if sometimes forgotten-characters. The Dark Crisis event has elevated a host of legacy characters to starring roles, from Nightwing to Superman's son, but seeing this arguably "minor" family play such a massive role in this story furthers the events focus on that "legacy" theme. The three heroes have entered the realm of Green Lantern's flames but only through the balancing force of Obsidian's shadows, as Jade intervenes to steady her father and brother.Įven more than the original Green Lantern, Jade and Obsidian have become more obscure over time-especially after the New 52-making their role in this Crisis even more exciting to see. Only through their combined power do Superman, Swamp Thing, and Raven discover that Pariah is the cause of the Great Darkness's corruption. Their team-up in Dark Crisis: The Deadly Green #1 by Ram V., Dan Watters, Joshua Williamson, and Tom Derenkick, shows readers just why they're one of DC's first-and most powerful-families. Jade and Obsidian have been recruited by their father in the midst of the Dark Crisis as he and a group of other heroes attempt to figure out how the Great Darkness has been corrupted.

Though the entire family was briefly erased from DC during the New 52 era, they were recently reintroduced, and now they're proving why they're an essential part of the DCU's tapestry. Obsidian-Todd Rice-is connected to the Shadowlands and can manipulate shadows and darkness. Jade-Jennifer-Lynn Hayden-is imbued with the power of the magical Green Lantern, and she has massive control over its fire energy. Alan Scott's Green Lantern ring is far more connected to magic than any of the other Green Lanterns, and his children are similarly endowed, though they come by their gifts naturally.
Alan Scott, DC's original Green Lantern, is a founding member of the Justice Society of America and the father to twin children: the heroes Jade and Obsidian.
