This is “Foundationed Deep,” a feature where we look at particular odd/strange/interesting instances of retroactively connecting different comic book characters (for instance, Uncanny X-Men #268 retroactively established that Wolverine knew both Captain America and the Black Widow from World War II). Today, we look at how Green Lantern was revealed to be related to a Golden Age DC superhero.Debuting in Showcase #22 in 1959, Green Lantern was a revamped version of the Golden Age superhero by the same name. Only instead of Alan Scott, the original Green Lantern who was a superhero with a magical green ring, the new Green Lantern was Hal Jordan, a test pilot who was given a power ring from an alien who was part of a space police force known as the Green Lantern Corps.Debuting only 23 issues after Batman, in 1941’s Detective Comics #60, in a feature drawn by Lee Harris and LIKELY written by Mort Weisinger, Larry Jordan was an Assistant District Attorney who became a superhero known as Air Wave whose gimmick was basically radio-themed. It was like a strange gimmick superhero idea, really, where he used radio-inspired technology to listen in on criminals and throw his voice, as well. He also had pop-up roller skates that allowed him to travel the city at high speed.
