The Green Lanterns have been one of the most popular and beloved factions in the DC Universe since their creation. For nearly eighty years, the lore and origin of the Green Lanterns have been expanded and tweaked by a number of creative minds as the characters changed hands over the years. Bill Finger and Martin Nodel created the first Green Lantern, Alan Scott, who first appeared in All-American Comics #14. The character and the concept of the Green Lantern was expanded by Gil Kane and John Broome later on.
