2. Kyle Rayner: Green Lantern

I better be careful with this one, or H.E.A.T. is gonna come after me. Yes, Kyle is my favorite of earth’s GLs, but that isn’t entirely why I think he’d be the best suited for television. Part of it is that Rayner’s series tones down the scope of the Green Lantern universe to a degree that would make it television doable. Since Hal’s gone all nutter-butters and murdered all the other Green Lanterns, Kyle is the last remaining one. More of his stories take place on earth, and his arc is more focused on living up to the name of earth’s last Green Lantern than anything else.

Picture this as a TV show: Kyle Rayner is a normal art student in NYC, when one day, everyone’s hero Hal Jordan – the Green Lantern – disappears into space. When Kyle gets his own ring, it informs him that he is the last Green Lantern, as all the others have been killed. He decides to take over as GL, operating mostly as an earth-based hero.

After spending the first season slowly getting the hang of being a hero, he decides to venture out into deep space for the first time…and he finds Hal. Kyle is at once excited and nervous, feeling like with Hal back as the “real Green Lantern”, there’s no place for him anymore. But as he spends more time with Hal, he starts to notice that something’s wrong. In the season finale, Kyle discovers that Hal’s gone crazy after suffering a traumatic event and he’s murdered the rest of the Green Lanterns, and now it’s up to Kyle, the rookie, to defeat the man whose shadow he’s been stuck in this entire time.

See, sounds good, right?
