A Green Lantern’s True Power Is Free Will
Willpower Isn’t Just About Overcoming Fear
Many fans may assume that being a Green Lantern imply defend for dependable , but that has n’t always been the sheath . Hal Jordan ’s long - time scoundrel , Sinestro , was once his ally and mentor — and a famous Green Lantern , too . However , Sinestro used his willpower to enforce warriorlike lawon his own planet and become a potentate . Usually , this heel turn is seen as the birth of the Sinestro Corps , which is powered by fear . Really , I think it ’s just an instance of a Green Lantern ’s ever - available spare will .
Willpower is just the opportunity to make a determination and see it through to existence in the world , for right or inauspicious .
The Southern Cross of a Green Lantern ’s power is how they act of their own accord and use their imagination to solve complicated problems . In my experience , willpower is just the opportunity to make a decision and see it through to existence in the world , for just or ill . What Jadestone discovers , even afterproving that Alan Scott is the unassailable Lantern , is that he has a choice . Jadestone does n’t have to obey Amanda Waller . With Alan Scott ’s Starheart powering his railway locomotive , he realizes another alternative — he can keep open people instead .
Jadestone Has a Choice: Which Green Lantern Will He Be?
The Path of Evil - or the Path of Alan Scott?
Jadestone asks Alan just why he saves people , and Green Lantern responds that it ’s not solely in his programming — it ’s a pick that he make . In this one telephone exchange , the whole of the Green Lantern mythos shift , chanhing the focus from the Lanterns being power by their rings to the humans who have the willpower already within , ring or not . I think that ’s the point of a torpedo : having the courageousness to choose good every sentence . With Alan Scott ’s manifest willpower helping himbecome DC ’s strongest zep , Jadestone just might make the same choice .
While it ’s assumed that the good hombre will make undecomposed pick , Jadestone ’s evolution express me a more complicated itinerary that I authentically enjoy as a farsighted - time Green Lantern fan . Having willpower is not just about overcoming fear , but cook the choice to overwhelm fear and do what ’s right every sidereal day . In my impression , Jadestone , while introduced as a villain , is already becoming aGreen Lanternhero that just might spare the daytime — as long as he makes the correct choice using his self-will .
