Green Lantern

"You want a finish? You got it."

- Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe

Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) is a fictional character, a comic book superhero that appears in the pages of DC Comics. One of the many DC characters chosen to appear in the crossover video game Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, he is in actuality only one of many characters to carry the name of Green Lantern, which is a Corps of intergalactic law enforcement officers that operate throughout the universe. With the Green Lantern ring's reputation as the universe's most powerful weapon, Lantern's counterpart in the crossover game is Mortal Kombat's leading fighter, Liu Kang.

About Green Lantern
Hal Jordan connected with his father, a test pilot, more than any other member of his family. When he saw his father die in a blaze of flames during an afternoon test flight, the young boy had nothing to fear from then on, as he witnessed his greatest fear come to life before his eyes. Growing up with a reckless lifestyle and enlisting with the United States Air Force, the young test pilot found himself floating away from Edwards Air Force Base with nothing but a green aura around him. It took him to a crashed ship, where inside, lay a dying alien. The alien told Jordan that he had the ability to overcome great fear, and asked Jordan to take his place as a member of the Green Lantern Corps.

With Earth, and all of Sector 2814 under his protection, Hal Jordan shines his light proudly as Earth's primary Green Lantern, making sure that those who worship evil's might will beware his power: Green Lantern's light.

Biography

 * MK vs DCU: "Fighter pilot Hal Jordan was testing an experimental aircraft when he found himself transported into the desert, to the side of a dying alien who gifted him with a glowing ring, which is charged regularly by a green lantern. By taking the ring, Jordan found himself drafted into the Green Lantern Corps, an interstellar police force that assigned him to protect Earth. Jordan can use his ring to conjure up anything he can imagine!"

Powers and abilities
Just like Batman and unlike most of the other members of the Justice League, Green Lantern is completely human and has no natural superhuman abilities. As the Green Lantern, Hal is equipped with one of the universe's most powerful weapons, the Green Lantern Ring. Once slipped into his finger, Hal gains access to near limitless power. The ring produces a powerful energy with tangible, malleable properties. As the ring comes from the Green Lantern Corps, it allows the Lantern to construct energy into any form they please through willpower. It also allows the bearer to fly while projecting over the bearer a green aura, which protects the bearer from common threats of interstellar travel, such as the vacuum of space, and provides the bearer with atmosphere to breathe in any environment. Despite the ring's boundless power, it runs on a finite charge. For this reason, each Lantern must recharge their ring with a personal power battery every 24 terrestrial hours. The user simply places their hand and ring into the light of the battery, and utter the Green Lantern oath: "In Brightest Day, In Blackest Night, No Evil Shall Escape My Sight. Let Those Who Worship Evil's Might, Beware My Power, Green Lantern's Light."

Special Moves

 * Strength of Will: Green Lantern creates a hammer with his power ring and smashes it on his opponent.Green_Lantern's_Hammer.jpg

Heroic Brutalities

Endings

 * Greenlanternending.pngMK vs DCU: "On a distant planet, a huge pyramid unexpectedly rose from beneath the ground. Its origin was unknown, but it seemed to emanate energy similar to what Batman detected from the invading universe. Green Lantern's nemesis Sinestro has learned of the pyramid's existence and is eager to acquire whatever secret it might contain. Hal Jordan knows only that its energy is dangerous - and that the Green Lantern Corps must stop the Sinestro Corps at any cost."

Trivia

 * Online, he is used for his ability to send a player flying so he can crush him or her with his hammer, making some serious problems for the opposing player.
 * In his ending, the pyramid from Armageddon is shown.
 * Instead of addressing Captain Marvel by his full name, he refers to him as "Cap."
 * Both of Green Lantern's Heroic Brutalities could theoretically kill the opponent, as either would break a massive amount of the bones in the opponent´s body, causing internal bleeding. It is notable that after both, the opponent is still, unlike all other brutalities, where they move around.
 * Green Lantern's powers are very similar to Ermac's because it involves telekinesis, but the power he uses comes from his ring, where Ermac was "born" with those powers.
