But I totally agree with you that it was successful update to his original uniform to the style's of the time. <br /><br />Alan Scott's '90s appearances always fascinated me because it seemed like they didn't know quite what to do with him in relation to Kyle. I believe there was an editorial edict at the time that said Kyle was supposed to be the only Green Lantern. <br /><br />So Alan Scott gets his new costume in <i>GLCQ</i> he doesn't take the name Sentinel until about two year's later in <i>Showcase '95</i> #1. The story was a follow up to <i>Zero Hour</i> where many members of the JSA are killed/aged by Extant and Alann gives his ring to Kyle. In the <i>Showcase</i> story he removes the Lantern symbol on his shirt making his costume much less appealing.<br /><br />A few years later he replaces the Lantern symbol with a Starheart symbol in <i>Green Lantern/Sentinel: Heart of Darkness</i>. Which I think balances the costume again. It doesn't last long though, because he returns to his original costume about a year later in <i>Green Lantern</i> #110 in set up for the launch of the Robinson/Goyer/Johns <i>JSA</i> series. Being a pretty significant part of the story it is a bit odd that the <i>GL</i> cover doesn't feature him but Jade and Connor Hawke. But despite returning to his original costume he sticks with the name Sentinel and doesn't call himself Green Lantern again until <i>JSA</i> #50. <br /><br />Oh and the lightning guy in <i>Primal Force</i> is William Twotrees also known as Willpower. He is the son of Johnny Thunder and a Native American woman. Johnny abandoned him and his mother because of prejudices against a marriage of a white man and Native American woman. I don't believe he was used again after this series.<br /><br />I have some fond memories of reading this as a kid coming out but judging from your synopsis of the issues you read and what I wrote in the previous paragraph I think they might be better left as fond memories.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05261955129728877417noreply@blogger.com
