DC is relaunching the Golden Age character of Allan Scott as a gay superhero
Why do they have to mess with character's back stories?
Create a new character or just use existing ones

| I'd be curious to know if this helps sales/popularity or makes it worse or no change.
I wonder if they will make Sinestro a former lover who spurned GL  -- Cry "Havoc!" and let slip the dogs of war |

Green Lantern (Silver Age) is a cosmic cop.. his ring is powered by will to manipulate green energey from the power battery on OA -- "The hardest thing about any political campaign is how to win without proving that you are unworthy of winning." ~ Adlai E. Stevenson |

 | reply to BigSensFan I had heard they were doing this, but not who they were doing it to, only that it was supposed to be a BIG DC hero.....
Is this GL considered a BIG hero? I was never a fan of Green Lantern, so honestly, I could care less, but I can see where this might tick some fans off. What's the point? Where is the need? Because Marvel has a gay wedding in one of their current issues?
I haven't collected comic books in many years, but this doesn't make me want to buy it to read the story...... |

 | I wouldn't consider this GL a major character... if they did it to the Silver Age hero, then it would be different |

| reply to BigSensFan Yeah Wonder Woman Lesbian Edition would have had huge sales. lol
She's an Amazon. It should have been a no brainer.
They relegated this gay green lantern to an alternate universe. That's still almost like staying in the closet.
They obviouslky didn't want to risk any kind of backlash if they used their iconic superheroes: superman or batman. -- An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last. - Sir Winston Churchill |
