Born from Martin Jordan, Captain Harold "Hal" Jordan a test pilot for ASAF was branded as the "most fearless and expensive" by his comrades. Following his father's footsteps after he died, Hal made sure to continue his father's legacy and was gifted indeed...

On a given mission, he was tasked to check a wreckage from a fallen starship and as he cradled the alien passenger, he said that he was Abin Sur. Before he died, the ring that he had was looking for someone that was "utterly honest and born without fear" and so Hal was given the ring and a lantern that transformed his life forever.

With this new power, he learned that the alien was a member of Green Lantern Corps formed by The Guardians in the planet Oa. Also, here the Central Battery is found charging every lantern in the cosmos. Now, he is to protect and serve Sector 2814 where Earth is also located.

A day came when Coast City was utterly destroyed by Doomsday, with this loss he begged The Guardians to reconstruct the city and revive all the lives lost, but to no avail his request was not granted. He went angry and insane killing his master Sinestro by breaking his neck at the same time killing almost everyone from the Corp.

From there, The Guardians of Oa knew that a long time enemy was controlling Hal and should be stopped. Also, this was part of a plan from Sinestro to lure Hal to free the creature and enter him in his vulnerable emotional state. At one point, the Sun Eater was about to destroy the Earth when Hal sacrificed himself to save his home planet.

He was resurrected as Spectre, the Spirit of Vengeance. The spirit's tasks was to separate his tainted soul from Parallax. With all the help of his friends and Kyle Ryner's effort of securing his body from the sun where he died, Hal had one more reason to live and to save the universe again. His will stronger and resolved, he broke free from Spectre and Parallax joining his spirit from his now renewed body.

From the battle in the moon, after seemingly killing Sinestro again and with the help of JLA and the Green Lantern Corps they were able to dispose their oldest and bitter enemy the Parallax.

Now, Hal Jordan is back renewing his ties with The Guardians, The Green Lantern Corps and JLA. The ray of hope again echoes in the universe and as the battle cry is heard once more...

"In blackest day in brightest night no evil shall escape my sight, let those who worship evil's might beware my power Green Lantern's light."

A frail young man passes through a crowd, his name is Peter Benjamin Parker a student and a genius. As piercing words and murmuring "What a geek!" struck him, he doesn't utter a sound shrugging off the nuisance, he went his way to the science exhibit.

Atomic science, a world where he is given accolades and a feeling of respect and dignity. As the experiment progresses, no one noticed a spider descending from the ceiling towards the reactors, with a split second the arachnid was doused by radioactivity. Leaping towards the closest thing it can access, with it's final breath, it bit the student transferring the radioactive energy in it's body.

Suddenly, feeling nauseous he decided to go home. Walking down the street a car nearly misses him, as he leapt to safety. He noticed that he was clinging to a wall. To his surprise, he was already scaling the wall with his hands and feet.

Hurrying home, he decided to make a name for himself. He entered a wrestling match with Crusher Hogan and winning unanimously. He even entered into showbiz just to get enough money moreso to gain fame as well. Deep down he really wanted to be popular and realizing with the power that he has, he can do anything he wants without the care in the world.

One night after the show, a burglar made his way into the studio, a cop was running after him, the costumed teen just stood there minding his own business. The cop didn't reach him on time and the fiend escaped through the elevator. "What do I care!" the lad uttered...

Tired, he called it a day. As he was nearing his home, there was a policecar in front. As he came to their doorstep, a body was lying on the floor and her Aunt May was crying, a burglar forced his way in and killed his Uncle. With all his anger, he tracked him in an old warehouse. A fight ensued and the culprit was cornered, he removed the mask of the killer and to his surprise, he was familiar with the face from the broadcasting company... the burglar who ran in front of him days ago. He was so grief stricken and all he ever wanted to do is avenge his Uncle Ben. He just tied the burglar for the police to pick him up. Wanted to be alone, he stayed in a rooftop thinking, he was ashamed from what he had failed to do.

There is always a moral in everyone's story and with this teenager, he had a gift that he misused without the thought of doing what is proper and just, not just for the people around him but for himself as well. He only wanted to be accepted and more so to be popular, but vanity overwhelmed him and with a price. His Uncle's death made him realize that "With great power must also come--great responsibility".

With the countdown taking place, the scientist without hesitation selflessly hurried to save the ignorant teenager.

The countdown ends, as the bomb exploded the scientist had the chance to push the kid into a ditch and in an instant the explosion engulfed his body filling it with enormous energy of the deadly gamma radiation.

Now, certain manifestations are taking place in his cellular structure, from the pains of his past, frustrations and guilt from past sins, whenever anger takes place his physical form bulks up into an enormous mass. At first, he turns into a gray skinned monster at sunset and would revert back to human form at dawn.

Incurable, he went on berserk and was branded a menace to society. To make matters worse, he was hunted down by his wife's father General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross unrelenting to bring him down for good. Ravaging and destroying everything in it's path, the military tracked down the green monster across the country.

For a short time, he was trying to find a way to cure himself, through another form of radiation he was able to split the two personas. Seemingly cured, he was able to control the monster within and even helped form the Avengers and granted pardon by the US Government for his deeds.

But it was far from over, at some point he was turning back to become the green menace again, and with the help of psychiatrist Leonard "Doc Samson", he was captured. Trying hypnosis, he was again split into two thus making another version the street smart "Joe Fixit", but the separated psyches gave much pain to Bruce, he then further agreed to be merged back only to become "The Professor", the latest version of his personas.

The on and off separation of Bruce's mental and physical conditions made him more unpredictable and dangerous. Only to bargain with the three personas would make it possible to find a cure for his tortured mind and soul. He was further accompanied by Rick Jones the teenager from the gamma bomb experiment, feeling guilty for Bruce's condition, he helps him in his daily endeavors and to search for the cure. Only time will tell whether this menace or hero will be in check. But for now, nothing can stop this "Living Engine of Destruction".

Another place, another time...

A scientist has been observing the planet's seismic activities for quite some time now. Knowing that disaster awaits them, he informed the high council about the situation and explained that if they can access the Phantom Zone tentatively, the people can be saved and survive this disaster. But they mocked him and considered his assesments of their planet preposterous and doubtful.

Since there are a few moments left before the planet explodes, he still managed and took the chance in coordinating his latest observations to their central computer named Braniac but unknowingly it knows of the impending danger that awaits them and has already downloaded all of the planet's knowledge for itself and for it's self-preservation.

He hurried back home and informed his wife that they need to hurry, at least to save their only son. He had prepared for this, he built a rocket ship that can propel it's passenger to hyperspace.

Suddenly, the planet shook like none before and only time is of the essence for the last son of Krypton. The infant was placed in the ship, looking on are his parents hoping for the best for their son...Kal-el. Goodbye our son, with moments left Lana and Jor-el watched their son fly into the atmosphere. Krypton exploded hurling tons of it's debris into the vast cosmos.

Journeying through space, the ship found a habitable place for it to land...Earth. Crashing through a field of wheat, an unsuspecting couple Martha and Jonathan watched the rocket plummet from the sky. Curiously, they saw a baby boy crawled out from the ship and quickly cradled it. They adopted the baby Kal-el and named him Clark Joseph Kent. He grew in a small town called Smallville, young Clark developed extraordinary powers and understanding that he can absorb the sun's radiant energy, he is able to shoot lasers from his optics, leap in great distances, run faster than a speeding train and possessed the strength that ordinary mortals could only dream of...

Searching for his purpose, he went around the world helping people and developing his new found powers, his path lead him to Metropolis where his adventure begins as...
