Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Railroad engineer Alan Scott survived a horrible train wreck thanks to a magic lantern from China. The lantern spoke to him, explaining that it would empower a ring that could do most anything. What was the one thing the ring could not affect?

Answer: Wood

For no clear reason, Alan Scott's ring was powerless against wood.
2. Once he became Green Lantern, Alan decided it was time to settle down, and got a job as an engineer for a broadcasting system, and would ascend to newscaster, program director, and eventually the network manager. What city was his broadcasting company located in?

Answer: Gotham City

Green Lantern was also a native Gotham City hero, probably because both GL and Batman were written by Bill Finger. The broadcasting company was originally WXYZ, later Apex Broadcasting, and finally the Gotham Broadcasting Corporation.
3. While most heroes from the Golden Age has kid sidekicks, Green Lantern had a cabdriver, Doiby Dickles, as his confidant. What was the name of Doiby's beloved cab?

Answer: Goitrude

Doiby also fared better than the other sidekicks in the long run, marrying an alien princess and becoming king of her planet, Myrg.
4. Miser Cyrus Gold was murdered in Slaughter Swamp, but emerged years later as the chalk-white marsh monster Solomon Grundy, one of Green Lantern's earliest, and greatest, foes. Grundy was such a popular character that he went on to appear in numerous comic books over the decades. His appearance in "Swamp Thing" revealed that Solomon Grundy was, in fact, what?

Answer: A failed attempt at creating an Earth Elemental

Earth Elementals were created though violent death, fire, and a period of the corpse mouldering in a swamp. Grundy's creation went wrong, because there was no fire.
5. Molly Mayne was a secretary at Alan Scott's network, and decided that that best way to attract the romantic attention of Green Lantern was to become a super-villian. What identity did she choose?

Answer: Harlequin

She had a pair of illusion-casting glasses, apparently just lying around, and used them in her battles with Green Lantern. Eventually she would start working undercover for the FBI. Decades later it would be explained that the glasses were provided to her by the Manhunters.
6. In the Silver Age, they had to reconcile the Golden Age magic-based Green Lantern with the new, interstellar Green Lantern Corps, and came up with the explanation that the Guardians of the Universe had, many many years earlier, gathered up all the wild magical energy in the universe and sent it into another dimension. That dimension was, coincidentally, home to Alan Scott, whose ring and battery were formed from the magical energy. What name was given to this hard gob of green magic?

Answer: Starheart

The Starheart has been personified a few times. The Emerald Eye sure looks like something from the Green Lantern mythos, but is in fact from Legion of Super-Heroes.
7. Split-personalitied Rose and Thorn either loved or hated Green Lantern, depending on which personality was in control. She was the mother of his two children, Jade and Obsidian. Back in the 1940s, whom did Rose and Thorn usually fight?

Answer: Flash

Rose and Thorn married Green Lantern while in disguise, and got pregnant by him. The Thorn side started to become dominant, and to prevent Thorn from killing Alan, Rose faked her own death and gave the children up for adoption.
8. Jade and Obsidian both have green energy forming powers similar to their father.

Answer: false

Jade's powers are similar to her father's, but Obsidian's are entirely different, being shadow-based.
9. Though he still wears a costume almost identical to his original, complete with the image of a green lantern on his chest, he is no longer known by that name. What identity does Alan Scott use now?

Answer: Sentinel

They've been using the name Sentinel in the comics for about five years now, but he's still the original Green Lantern.
10. In the pages of "JSA", an important medical discovery has been made about Alan Scott. What is it?

Answer: His body is entirely composed of green flame

Dr. Mid-Nite discovered that Alan only appears to be human. He is made of green flame, and his appearance, age, and health are entirely dependent on his will power.
