Is Hal Jordan mentally challenged?

Is Hal Jordan mentally challenged?

Maybe but he is my favorite DC super hero

Not as much as Dick.

Probably, yeah. This specific part was pure autism on his part.

wouldn't be surprised

remember that time Hal fucked Guy's fiance tight next to him while he was in a coma?

I thought Kyle Rayner was suppose to be the dumb funny man and Hal the straight laced boring lantern?

Also is Hal Jordan the biggest loser in GLC?

nah, Hal is the absolute, but loveable retard, Guy is based, Kyle is the guy who looses all his gfs-- I mean, the young buck, and John is the boring one.

John is boring but the one you'd want beside you in a foxhole.

Really liked him in Blackest Night.

carol and kyle fridgemaster is pure love

>take ex out to a nice dinner solely to shmooze her up so she'll co-sign your car lease
>be surprised when she is rightfully pissed off at this
Hal, you dumb shit. And I swear, the universe just cannot stop shitting on poor Carol. It had to resort to little things like this now just to bully her.

dont pilots make mad money?

Hal Jordan has always been a complete moron, it's one of his defining traits

You evidently don’t understand how credit works.

I dont live in americaland, you work, save money and buy something, pilling debt onto debt is seen as foolish in most parts of the world.

Whut?

Yes.

I like these 'Hal is dumb' threads

Sometimes, sometimes not
Well nevermind he is still my favorate

Even Denny O'Neil made jokes about it in his JLA

Pardon, this was a Len Wein story. My mistake.

...

He may be war criminal, pedophile and child rapist but he still is the best lantern

>forget that women resent "need" and only give the illusion of companionship
maximum retardation

Why are women so evil, bros?

Hal Jordan being somewhat stupid is canon. Is that the only comic you have read?

They have a decent salary as long as they are not fucking of into space 24/7

yes

that specific scenario never happened

Hal and Kari thought Guy was dead so she started hitting on him and they got together but then she left him at the altar when Guy showed up alive

why do writers hate Carol so much? They either bully her or they write her like a complete cunt to shit on Hal

i dont even know what i expected, this is making laugh so much

I still don't get why Geoff Johns didn't force Venditti to put hal and carol back together for rebirth

god when he was in a sniper battle with the yellow bug it was fucking GREAT

...

...

They’re probably working towards it, Kyle hinted at her last issues and Hal almost saw her at the end of the Supes crossover with him and Parallax

literally why?

I'm a green lantern fan, always been. My favorite was Kyle Rayner cause he actually did something other than stick to bubbles and boxing gloves and jets with his constructs. Hasnt happened much lately tho

Hal isnt bad. but he's supposed to be the rogue officer who doesnt work by the book but still gets the job done type. But he keeps getting put into positions of authority in the GL corps, so it completely undermines the only interesting factor about his standard military background personality.

Hal Jordan was best when he was Parallax. fact.

>Somewhat stupid
Uhuh

I don't know. It's bad enough nobody can figure out what to do with her, but it's as is everyone at DC actively hates her because... um, because she's pink? I can't even begin to guess.

By the way, anyone else find the lack of direction for both Carol and the Star Sapphires to be utterly asinine? Especially since Carol herself is their leader now. Carol Ferris is, when anyone bothers to remember, primarily characterized as a shrewd businesswoman, ever since her first appearance. So maybe it's not terribly unreasonable to suggest this characterization be channeled into her story roles? ... No? Can't be arsed? Okay.

The Indigos and Blues have also been more or less sidelined, and these days the Reds only ever appear when someone somewhat recognisable needs to be punched in the face.

Name better lantern

>john stewart became a lantern because hal slipped on a bar of soap

That is the most ridiculous origin story ever. And for such a serious character. I love it.

...and we love him for it! Any version.

What is this?

>Space hippie
>Best Lantern
You're so goofy user, also pic related

Hopefully now the DCEU is dead, the Arrowverse guys will be allowed to use the GLC and we'll see a great stupid lovable Hal on screen.

They probably made it a goal to work towards eventually, but Venditti is just taking a long time because he probably doesn't want to

at this point I expect him to put them together just before he leaves the book and then the next writer will immediately break them up again

the Star Sapphires are poorly defined and have never been used well, I wish they could get a writer that would solidly define what their powers actually are and HOW they're powered since nobody can decide which types of love "count" or how strong it has to be or if it even has to be real

I think Carol being their queen got dropped ages ago since it never came up in the new 52 then after Johns left they decided to shit on Carol even harder instead off doing anything good with her

that's not his origin story

it's from that Infinite Crisis MOBA tie in comic, which had surprisingly great lore

Sir Harold was wonderful

...

so are these cherrypicked or was hal really written as way dumber than the other heroes even back then?

I wish they were cherrypicked.

He's a male bimbo. A Mimbo

liteally what is the context for this shit
did they just want to name their story "Sign" really bad

His power was so OP in the silver age that he had to be retarded.

Most are cherrypicked because there were a bunch of times when Hal was either hypnotized or brain-drained in some way. No idea why it was always Hal. But even back then it became a recurring gag among writers who came after Gardner Fox to have Hal taken out by stupid shit.

Then in Denny O'Neil's Green Lantern/Green Arrow they had Hal become a bit of a blockhead in order to be the "straight man" to Ollie's street smarts.

Post-Crisis when they were trying to revamp Hal with a new origin retelling and a new series, they combined the Silver Age gags with the GL/GA characterization and made him kind of a hard-headed screw-up.

Not really when his weakness was yellow.

I liked when he fought a bear
but the color spectrum is fucking gay I don't care about any of it

There was some family fraud going on. It had something to do with muh father for some reason. It triggered Hal to drive drunk and hit a sign. Someone was with him when it happened it it fucked him up badly.The same day he got his ring he decided to fuck with the sign, not realizing yellow is a weakness and got himself played.

>Hal Jordan is smar-

What a story though
"So Hal, how did you first realise your weakness to yellow"
"Well..."

The guy is literally a space cop who wanted to fly.
I'm not surprised he has no idea who Bruce is

Hope Corgi.

Rayner is definitely top tier.

Dex-starr

Alan Scott

so it'll be like how Charles Soule finally teased medusa and black bolt only for Ewing to break them up the first issue of his run

they're cherry picked

Is such a weird thing no matter what. I don't know if Johns was making fun of Hal or Bruce.

Why does he need a car he can just trace wherever the fuck he wants to with the ring

because he's mentally challenged?

He didn't have a ring at the time, dingus

>cherrypicked
Yes. Welcome to Hal Hater's world.

Best Lantern reporting for duty

Well as a test pilot he's probably had a shit-ton of concussions, poor guy probably has CTE or other brain damage

It's not his origin. But now I'm imagining John having to be called in regularly just because Hal incapacitates himself in the most ridiculous ways.

wasn't he only a test pilot for like 5 years before the GL corps picked him up and he basically lived in space since? I forget what the official timeline since Hal joining the corp

Also I'm pretty sure its official that hal only crashed one or two planes. The first cause Abin Sur's ship nearly bisected the jet entering atmo while he was testing and another time because of other GL related shenanigans.

Don't act like you liked that.
NOBODY LIKED THAT.

>hater
Woah man no one's hating on him, personally I think it's endearing

Sure you do, Hal Hater.

He also gets punched in the head a lot

This wouldn't be true even if the entire GLC didn't exist

If these are cherrypicked then there's a lot of moments to cherrypick from.

It's retards like you that killed off superhero vehicles. You boring piece of shit.
