Minor And Major Changes To The Green Lantern Uniform by David L
It is a suit that is recognizable as the person chosen to wear it. It is none other than the Green Lantern outfit. There is a lot of difference that has come from. Since the early days when the super hero first graced the pages of the comics, the suit has taken on a new character with every person that has taken the oath and swore to uphold the code of the lantern. Alan Scott was the first man chosen to grace the costume and make a statement all on his own with his suit.
Imagine a puffy red top with a large yellow circle in the chest and the sign of the Green Lantern in it. There was also the black pants, boots, gloves and mask that all finished off the look. Many, when they first saw him thought that the character looked a little too ridiculous and had a hard time getting behind the outfit. The part that went a long way to making it difficult to take him seriously was that of the black cape with the bright green lining.
Next Hal Jordan stepped into the role and with that, brought a new form to the character and made it his own. There was a unified theme of black and green that was spread all throughout the costume. This was done in an attempt to bring in a lot of the fans that had been lost with the introduction of the Alan Scott version.
The gloves being black to match the rest of the black on the costume allowed fans to see the character as more of a super hero and less than that of a cartoon character. This was one of the biggest concerns that the comic book community had and expressed. It would not be until Guy Gardner that the suit would see more changes.
Guy Gardner was another in line to take on the character, and as with the previous variations, Gardner made his suit his own and came out to resemble a mix between a robot and the previous versions. The black pants and green and black top were still in place, but the gloves, mask and boots all seemed to be from the space age, as they had a more robotic appearance and was up to this point typically the most popular version of the super hero yet. The alterations to the costume would see the most radical (blank) yet with Kyle Rayners.
Kyle Rayners would be known as the last person to fill the suit. While it was, a drastic change from the Gardner version Rayners was proven to be the closest thing that the makers of the character had in mind. The green and black theme radiated all through the costume. This is the version that is seen in the latest movie to hit theaters this year.
It has been a long and tiring road in getting to the current version. Over the years, the fans have had a lot of changes put in front of them. Some of these have been positive and some of these have been negative. Nonetheless, these changes are as with any super hero needed to help evolve the character.
Taking all of this into consideration, this will leave a fan of the comic having a lot to digest. This on the whole is one of the reasons why the movie has been a success in the fact that the latest version has been more widely accepted than the previous versions.
